Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

1. Select the drive style

Choose the security approach your work requires

Security drives and tamper-resistant drives are designed to help prevent or discourage removal with ordinary screwdrivers. Installation and removal require the corresponding matching bit or tool.

  • Security hex socket, Torx, and button Torx options are represented.
  • Tamper-resistant Phillips, pin-in-Phillips, and pin-style Torx options are also represented.
  • Positive tool engagement is listed to support torque transfer with less pressure and slippage on selected styles.
2. Compare head profiles

Match the finished profile to the application

Flat-head screws provide a flush-installed or specified flat profile. Button-head and button hex socket styles provide lower-crown head profiles, with some listed as having a shallower recess than a round-head screw.

  • Choose flat heads when a flush or neat finished appearance is needed.
  • Choose button heads for a lower-crown, general-purpose profile.
  • Confirm the listed head and drive combination before selecting a matching bit or tool.
3. Confirm size, construction, and quantity

Plan around the listed product details
