Snake Type Security Screw

Description

HBS Fasteners manufactures premium Snake Eye Security Screws, which are among the most popular choices for architects and designers due to their sleek, non-industrial look. The “Snake Eye” drive consists of two circular holes drilled into the head, requiring a specialized two-prong spanner bit for installation and removal. Because the head has no deep central recess or sharp edges, it is extremely difficult to grip with standard tools like pliers or vice-grips. This makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic public areas where both security and visual style are high priorities.

Technical Specifications

• Drive Type: Snake Eye (Spanner/Two-Hole) drive—requires a matching twin-pin security bit.

Material & Quality Excellence
