Security Nuts

A security nut is a hex nut designed so it cannot be removed with ordinary hand tools, protecting the assembly from tampering or theft. Common styles include shear-off collars and nuts needing a special driver.

Used on public fixtures, street furniture, security grilles and equipment covers where unbolting must be prevented. Bought by installers and equipment makers.
