Compare Security Fasteners

When choosing the right security fastener, not all options offer the same level of protection, reliability, or installation control. In this comparison, we break down two standout products side-by-side to help you evaluate their strengths, limitations, and ideal use cases. Whether you’re securing high-value infrastructure or simply looking to deter casual tampering, understanding how these fasteners differ can make all the difference.

Avsafe by Loss Prevention Fasteners

Avsafe by Loss Prevention Fasteners

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.

STYKFIT 7 by Bryce Fastener

STYKFIT 7 by Bryce Fastener

STYKFIT®7 fasteners are engineered for high-volume, precision-driven applications where both speed and tamper resistance are essential. The patented 7-fin drive system offers a tight, interference fit that enhances torque transfer and reduces cam-out. The SmartGrip™ tapered design ensures the screw adheres securely to the driver bit, facilitating one-handed installation and minimizing dropped screws. While the drive pattern isn't unique per customer, access to driver bits is controlled, providing a moderate level of security. The low-profile head design further deters tampering by resisting gripping tools.​
