A great deal of research and development has gone into the KEY-REX™ fastener with the intent to make it the most secure fastener available at a reasonable cost (most state-of-the-art products are available only to the wealthy.) KEY-REX™ shapes are created through an "encryption" process which makes a shape out of 300 million variables and defines the "key code" carried by each part.

This "key-code" is assigned to individual customers giving the highest security available in a fastener. Cold forging is the process used to make the fasteners. While cold forging allows us to make the parts economically out of stainless steel, it does require minimum order quantities and lead times.

Minimums are around 2000 pieces for fasteners and 10 pieces for keys. Lead times are about 4 weeks. For cold forged parts, this is the best in the industry. Pricing often compares with "tamper-resistant screws". For those who can use minimum order quantities, KEY-REX™ is the best value security fastener available.

KEY-REX™ is not just a tamperproof, vandal-proof, tamper-resistant screw. Because it does not have mass produced bits sold indiscriminately by the thousands, it is a high security locking system. Unlike Hex or Torx screws, it does not have symmetrical shapes that are easy to distinguish and compromise. KEY-REX™ is not an easy target or false security.
