Detention & Institutional security fasteners.
Correctional, behavioral-health, and secure institutional environments require the highest tamper resistance and smooth, no-purchase heads.
Request a Quote →Detention and behavioral-health facilities can’t rely on a drive that merely discourages tampering — they need a head that gives determined hands nothing to grip. Tri-Groove’s smooth, rounded profile and break-away nuts are built for exactly this: no slot, no lobes, no edge for pliers or an improvised tool to catch.
