5/16" X 4" ONE WAY SCREW STEEL FINISH BLACK
This 5/16" x 4" One Way Screw is a specialized tamper-resistant fastener designed for permanent or semi-permanent installations. Its unique slotted head is engineered to be driven in one direction only, preventing unauthorized removal and securing assets in public or commercial environments.
- Tamper-Resistant Head Design
- Industrial-Grade Steel
- Black Oxide for Mild Corrosion Resistance
- Security & Public Fixtures
Manufactured from durable carbon steel, this one-way screw provides a reliable fastening solution for security-sensitive applications. The black finish, typically a black oxide coating, offers a clean aesthetic and a moderate level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor use. The screw's design adheres to common industrial fastener standards for dimensional accuracy, ensuring consistent performance in commercial and MRO projects where preventing tampering is a primary concern.
Ideal for applications where fixtures must be protected from vandalism or theft, these one-way screws are commonly used to install signs, public bathroom partitions, license plate frames, and protective casings. The drive system allows for easy installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver, but its sloped faces prevent the driver from gaining purchase for counter-clockwise rotation. This makes it a cost-effective security hardware solution for fabricators, installers, and maintenance professionals in the Los Angeles area.

How to Measure
To specify a one-way screw, you need the major diameter and the length. The diameter is the screw's nominal thickness (e.g., 5/16"). The length is measured from the bearing surface (the flat underside of the head) to the tip of the screw.
