Metallics TP327SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of driver do I need for the TP327SPC tamper-resistant screw?
A spanner bit, not a Phillips or Torx. The TP327SPC is a pan head spanner-drive tamper-resistant screw, meaning the head has two round holes that take a two-pin (snake eye) spanner driver. No standard screwdriver will turn it, which is the point in public restrooms, transit areas, schools and other spots where you don't want covers or plates removed. Order the matching spanner bits separately if your crew doesn't already carry them.
2) Can I use the TP327SPC in place of the standard screws that came with a wall plate or device?
Yes, as long as the hole is tapped 8-32, which is the standard thread on device straps and wall plate screws. The difference is the drive and the length: you gain a spanner head that can't be turned with a common screwdriver, and 3 inches of shank instead of the short factory screw. On a flush-mounted plate that extra length will bottom out or protrude, so it's really for deep or built-out mounting conditions, not a direct swap on a standard-depth box.
3) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP327SPC?
100 pieces per pack. That's a box quantity rather than a bagged handful, which suits a security integrator or MRO stockroom standardizing on one tamper-resistant screw across a building instead of buying per-job.
4) What is the Metallics part number to order for 8-32 x 3 spanner tamper-resistant pan head screws?
TP327SPC is the Metallics part number, sold in a 100 piece pack. Quote that number to a distributor and you get the pan head spanner drive in the 8-32 x 3 size rather than one of the shorter lengths in the same series.
