5-Lobe Button Head Security Screws

Designed for high-security applications where tamper-proofing is essential. With a unique five-lobe drive and central pin, these fasteners offer a higher level of protection than Pin-Torx or Pin-Hex. Manufactured in corrosion-resistant A4-70 stainless steel, they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

Available in button head and countersunk head styles, choose from self-tapping screws or metric machine screws to suit your installation needs. These fasteners are widely used in public infrastructure, automotive, electronics, and retail environments anywhere security and discretion are paramount.

What are the benefits of A4 stainless steel?

A4 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which significantly improves its resistance to corrosion especially in salty, humid, or industrial environments. This makes it ideal for outdoor use, marine applications, and anywhere long-term durability is critical. It's a step up from A2 stainless steel, which is more commonly used but less resilient under tough conditions.

Why is a 5-Lobe drive more secure than Pin-Hex or Pin-Torx?

We give 5-lobed fasteners a security rating of 2, Enhanced Security, and both Pin-Hex and Pin-Torx a rating of 1, Entry Level Security.

We do have a full guide to this rating system available here.

The 5-lobed design is intentionally uncommon, making it difficult to engage with standard tools found in most toolkits. Unlike hex or Torx drives, which are often available online or are part of toolkits, the 5-lobe drive adds an extra layer of protection against tampering and unauthorised removal.

Please note that to preserve the integrity of our security products, the relevant tooling is not available online.
