Consider the cost of the "loss of the valuable product or the cost of a lawsuit" when picking your fastener. Some real life examples:

• A school of higher learning had some students remove the supposedly tamper-resistant security screws and drop a 40 lb rock 10 floors onto a new Mercedes, demolishing the automobile. The cost was $50,000.

• A major university had expensive electronics (secured with torx-pin "tamper-resistant" screws) stolen from a classroom. The cost was $30,000.

• An art museum is sending its Picasso paintings on tour, partially secured with hex-pin security screws. Bits for these "security" screws can be purchased at any True Value hardware stpre.

• Criminals have "security" bits smuggled into jails allowing them to hide drugs behind wall plates and even escape.

KEYED-LOK® Solutions

• A major electronics company needs restricted access on a control mechanism for a motor (adjustments to the mechanism can cause performance problems which opens the company up to large liabilities). They choose KEYED-LOK® to avoid possible tampering problems.

• Projection equipment costs $7,000.00 but is stolen when it is secured with supposed "tamper resistant screws."

All of these examples have "hidden costs" that far exceed the price of tamper-proof screws like KEYED-LOK®. When choosing your security screw, please realize that the supposed security bits for most security bits are being imported and sold at an alarming rate. Theft resistant and tamper-resistant screws will only stop the naive. You will suffer loss. KEYED-LOK® screws are machined with a unique head and a matching custom key bit, meaning only you, the customer can turn the screw. Investing in KEYED-LOK® will prevent the costs incurred by thefts and tampering.
