Security Nuts
Security Nuts are specially designed fasteners that provide a strong and tamper-resistant fixing, making them ideal for applications where standard nuts could be easily removed with common tools. They are commonly used in public areas, street furniture, fencing, playground equipment, and other installations where safety and theft prevention are essential.
Two of the most popular types of security nuts are Shear Nuts and Kinmar® Nuts:
- Shear Nuts – Feature a conical design with a hexagonal section that shears off once tightened, leaving a smooth, tamper-proof cone shape that cannot be easily undone.
- Kinmar® Nuts – Offer high security with a unique, patented design that requires a matching driver tool. Available in permanent and reusable versions, they provide excellent resistance against unauthorized removal.
By choosing the right security nut, you can ensure a reliable and secure fixing that protects your assets and prevents tampering.
What are the advantages of using Security Nuts?
Security Nuts provide peace of mind by deterring theft and vandalism, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring public safety. Their unique designs make removal extremely difficult without the correct tools.
Where are Shear Nuts and Kinmar® Nuts typically used?
You'll often find them in outdoor installations, construction projects, utility works, playgrounds, and anywhere a permanent or high-security fixing is needed.
