The price shown is for the pack.
Available
The Security Button Post Torx Metal Thread Screw, Stainless Steel is a post Torx security screw with a Torx recess that includes a centre pin, so it needs a matching security Torx bit to drive it. It has a metal (machine) thread for a nut or tapped hole..
You can choose from 26 variants, covering sizes M4 to M10 and lengths 10 mm to 60 mm. Each variant is supplied in packs of 100.
Made from 304 (A2) stainless steel, a standard austenitic grade with good everyday corrosion resistance. It is a sound choice away from the coast; in chloride-exposed settings, step up to 316 (A4). Metric sizes are written M followed by the nominal thread diameter in millimetres, so M10 is a 10 mm thread.
Stainless threads can gall (seize) when tightened under load or at speed. A smear of anti-seize on the thread and a steady tightening speed reduce the risk.
