What Is a Torx (Six-Lobe) Security Screw?
Torx screws feature a star-shaped six-point drive that distributes torque evenly, reducing cam-out and stripping compared to Phillips or slotted drives. The pin-in-Torx variant adds a centre post inside the recess, requiring a special bit to drive or remove the screw — making it an excellent choice wherever tamper resistance and security are priorities.
Common Applications
- Furniture and cabinetry assembly
- Electronic enclosures and panel mounting
- Automotive interior trim and accessories
- Machinery, industrial equipment, and tooling fixtures
- Access panels, kiosks, and public installations requiring tamper resistance

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a standard Torx screw and a Torx screw with a pin?
A: A standard six-lobe Torx screw can be driven with any compatible T-star bit. The pin version has a small post in the centre of the recess, which means a standard Torx bit will not fit — you need a special hollow-tip security Torx bit. This makes the pin version far more tamper-resistant and ideal for public-facing or high-security installations.
Q: How do I choose the right size? What does "M4×20" mean?
A: The "M" denotes metric thread. The number after "M" is the thread diameter in millimetres (e.g. M4 = 4 mm diameter). The second number is the shank length in millimetres, not including the head. So M4×20 means a 4 mm diameter screw with a 20 mm threaded shank. Measure your hole depth and select accordingly.
Q: Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. The 304 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance for most outdoor environments. The black surface coating adds an additional layer of protection. For heavily marine or salt-spray environments, 316 stainless steel would be recommended instead.
Q: Can I get custom lengths?
A: Yes — these screws are available in customised length options. Please select the thread diameter (M3–M10) and desired length when placing your order, or contact the store for custom requirements.
