Security Self-Tapping Screws Countersunk Flat Head with Two Holes

Thread and Pitch



Security self-tapping screws with countersunk flat head and two-hole drive are characterized by a thread specifically designed to form its own mating thread in the base material during installation. The thread geometry ensures high holding power and uniform stress distribution, providing a stable and long-lasting fastening.
The point facilitates the start of the screw and ensures proper alignment during installation. They are particularly suitable for applications on thin sheet metal, light metals, and plastic materials. Depending on the thickness and hardness of the substrate, a properly sized pilot hole may be required to optimize holding performance and prevent deformation or excessive stress in the material.
The self-tapping configuration reduces assembly time and eliminates the need for nuts or threaded inserts, making installation simpler and more efficient.


Head Type and Drive



The countersunk flat head is designed to sit flush with the surface once installed, ensuring a clean aesthetic result and minimizing protrusions. This feature makes it ideal for applications where a smooth surface is required or where protruding elements could pose an obstacle or safety risk.
The two-hole security drive (also known as “spanner” or “snake eye”) is specifically designed to prevent removal with standard tools. It requires a dedicated two-pin driver bit, increasing protection against tampering, vandalism, or unauthorized access. This solution is particularly suitable for public environments or equipment requiring enhanced security.

Description and Applications


Security self-tapping screws with countersunk flat head and two-hole drive are available in various materials and surface finishes, including:

  • Zinc-plated carbon steel, for indoor applications with good corrosion resistance

  • A2 stainless steel, suitable for humid or moderately corrosive environments

  • A4 stainless steel, recommended for outdoor or highly aggressive environments

For countersunk versions, the screw length is measured from the tip to the top of the head, in accordance with standard dimensional practices for countersunk screws.

Thanks to the combination of self-tapping functionality and security drive, these screws are widely used in:

  • Street furniture and installations in public areas

  • Electrical panels and electronic equipment

  • Metal panels and protective covers

  • Industrial systems and components exposed to tampering risks

They represent a reliable solution for permanent or semi-permanent fastenings where, in addition to mechanical strength, effective protection against unauthorized removal is required.
