Avsafe by Loss Prevention Fasteners

Manufacturer Claim

The Avsafe Security Screw is a tamper resistant fastener with a slightly oval shape (out of round) head. It is available in machine screws self-tapping screws. Installed and removable using controlled Avsafe drivers. The ‘driveless’ feature of this tamper proof fastener makes this one of the most hygienic screws in the market place today. The absence of flutes, holes and sharp edges makes Avsafe the fastener of choice in the electronics industry as the design prevents electron discharge.

What We Thought

Avsafe® fasteners feature a low-profile, oval head designed to blend in and discourage tampering. Their lack of key-way eliminates common tool engagement points, making them ideal for hygienic or static-sensitive environments. While removal tools are restricted, the absence of user-specific keyways makes them unsuitable for high-security or high-value applications. Avsafe is best where subtle security and cleanliness matter more than physical resistance.
