One-way screws are designed to be easily installed with a standard screwdriver but are difficult or impossible to remove without a special tool or the correct technique. They are often used in security applications where preventing unauthorized removal is important.
This classic one-way design installs with a standard flathead but resists removal by camming out in reverse. It's low-cost, widely available, and simple to install—but also easy to defeat with pliers, extractor tools, or modified drivers. While it provides basic deterrence, it’s not suitable where determined tampering is a concern.
We compiled these "product facts" using publicly available information, expert analysis, and reasonable assumptions where data was incomplete. Some details (like pricing, torque specs, and break-in times) aren’t always disclosed, so we’ve filled in the gaps as accurately as possible.
For verified specs or specific use-case guidance, we recommend reaching out directly to the manufacturer.
