What is a clutch head security screw?
It’s a one-way security screw designed to be tightened with a standard slotted screwdriver but made difficult to undo afterwards, helping reduce tampering and theft.
Can these screws be removed once fitted?
They are intended to resist removal once installed. In some cases, specialist methods may remove them, but they’re designed as a deterrent for general access prevention.
Where are these screws commonly used?
They’re often used on public-facing fixtures like toilet roll holders, signs, padbolts and hinges where you want a secure fixing with reduced unauthorised access.
What does 8g x 32mm (1 1/4") mean?
8g refers to the screw gauge (thickness) and 32mm is the length. This size is commonly used for light-to-medium duty security fixings.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
The zinc plated finish offers improved corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many general applications. For harsh coastal or highly exposed areas, consider stainless options.

Coununk heads sit flush with the surface, giving a neat finish and helping prevent snagging, while also improving the overall security and appearance of the installation.
