Step 8Avsafe™ Screw Drive
One type of security fastener is the slotless, tamper resistant Avsafe™ Series FP/FR/FG screw marketed by Avdel Corporation Systems Division, Parsippany, N.J. Security fasteners such as the Avsafe™ Screw typically include a threaded shank connected to a slotless oblong head designed for installation and removal with a special drive tool and cannot be turned with an ordinary socket, hex head wrench or other conventional tools.
One arrangement for preventing such tampering is to locate the security fastener within a recess in the panel. The sides of the recess must be spaced far enough apart to allow the special drive tool to fit but too close together to allow other tools such as pliers from grabbing the head of the fastener. These recesses increase the cost of manufacturing and are not desirable for some installations.
