Metallics TP105SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP105SFC screw head?
It is a hex pin head, so a standard hex key or hex bit will not seat. You need a pin-in-hex (hex pin) driver bit sized to the screw, which has a hollow center to clear the pin in the middle of the socket. That pin is what makes the fastener tamper resistant.
2) Are these Metallics tamper-resistant screws stainless steel?
Yes, the TP105SFC is an 18-8 series stainless machine screw, which is the common austenitic stainless used for corrosion resistance on fixtures, panels and outdoor-adjacent hardware.
3) Will a flat head tamper screw sit flush in my cover plate?
The TP105SFC uses a flat head, which is countersunk and seats flush in a chamfered or countersunk hole. If your plate or enclosure has a straight-drilled hole with no countersink, the head will stand proud, and you would want a pan or button head instead.
4) Why would a property manager use hex pin screws instead of regular Phillips screws?
The pin in the center of the hex socket blocks a common driver, so the fastener cannot be backed out with a tool off a hardware store shelf. Property managers and facility crews use them on device plates, panel covers, restroom fixtures and anything in a public corridor where tampering is the problem. The stainless 18-8 material also holds up in damp or washdown locations.
