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.​

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.
