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.

Ultra-Lok II by Loss Prevention Fasteners

Ultra-Lok II by Loss Prevention Fasteners

The Ultra-Lok II® features a proprietary keyway with a robust center stud, adding strong protection against tampering with standard tools. Tools are restricted and require authorization to purchase, increasing control—but not eliminating the possibility of eventual tool access. The button head design also limits grip area for pliers, especially when paired with proper torque. Minimum order quantities may limit use for small projects, but this fastener offers solid mid-tier security where distribution control is important.
