Brief Overview
Outdoor public facilities, street lighting, traffic signal cabinets and public amenity equipment face persistent risks of malicious disassembly, component theft and vandalism. Standard slotted, Phillips or hex screws can be easily loosened with common household tools, leading to high asset loss and maintenance costs. Our triangular drive security screws feature a unique three-lobe recess that can only be installed and removed with matching specialized triangular wrenches. The non-standard drive shape effectively blocks all common tools from tampering, combined with 304 stainless steel, carbon steel and other material options, delivering reliable anti-theft performance for long-term outdoor service. Full metric and imperial sizes are available to cover all public infrastructure, municipal and commercial anti-theft fastening demands.

Core Advantages of Premium Triangular Security Screws
1
Exclusive Structural Anti-Tamper Design
The unique three-sided triangular recess has no corresponding common tool on the market, achieving higher tamper resistance than standard hex or Torx security screws. The drive recess is integrally cold-formed with the screw head, with high torque resistance and no easy deformation under normal tightening force.
2
High Torque Transmission & No Stripping
The three-lobe contact surface distributes torque evenly, with larger stress area than slotted or Phillips drive. It bears higher tightening torque without slipping or stripping the recess, suitable for both manual installation and electric tool batch assembly.
3
Full Material & Size Coverage
Available in 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, medium carbon steel and brass materials, covering metric M2 to M12 and imperial #4-40 to 3/8″-16 full sizes. Pan head, countersunk head and button head options meet different assembly appearance and structure requirements.
4
Stable Mass Production Capacity
All triangular security screws are formed by automatic cold heading process in one piece. Our factory is equipped with 22 sets of automatic cold heading equipment and 18 high-precision thread rolling machines, with a daily output of 1.1 million security screws. More than 850 sets of ready-made molds for conventional sizes ensure short lead time for both standard and custom orders.
