Socket Button Screws

A popular and attractive socket head screw, typically used where aesthetics are important, or where a lower profile domed finish is required. The hex drive is generally smaller than other hex driven ranges and thus the ultimate tightening torque is reduced. Manufactured to ISO 7380, and almost always fully threaded.

Also known as star, 6 lobe, and hexalobular internal. Torx screws are commonly found on cars, motorcycles, bicycle brake systems, hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics and are becoming increasingly popular. Once, they were typically used in applications requiring tamper resistance; as drivers became more common, tamper-resistant variants were developed. The Torx design allows for a higher torque to be exerted than a similarly sized conventional hex socket head. This button head variant is an attractive screw, typically used where aesthetics are important, or where a lower profile domed finish is required.

A tamper resistant screw requiring specialist Torx drive tooling to fit. This button head variant is an attractive screw, typically used where aesthetics are important, or where a lower profile domed finish is required. Uses include street furniture and garden equipment. Also known as a Star or 6 Lobe Drive. Please call us if the multi-tool security drive bits are required.

A popular and attractive socket head screw with an integrated flange offering a wider head for bolting softer materials. Typically used where aesthetics are important, or where a lower profile domed finish is required. The hex drive is generally smaller than other hex driven ranges and thus the ultimate tightening torque is reduced. Manufactured to ISO 7380, the same standard as the non flanged variant, and always fully threaded.

A 6 lobe or torx driven variant of the popular flanged socket button screw. Again, torx button flange screws can be employed where aesthetics are important, or where space is limited.

A popular and attractive socket head screw, typically used where aesthetics are important, or where a lower profile domed finish is required. The hex drive is generally smaller than other hex driven ranges and thus the ultimate tightening torque is reduced. Manufactured to ASME/ANSI B18.3, and always fully threaded.

A popular and attractive socket head screw, typically used where aesthetics are important, or where a lower profile domed finish is required. The hex drive is generally smaller than other hex driven ranges and thus the ultimate tightening torque is reduced. Manufactured to ASME/ANSI B18.3, and always fully threaded.

These attractive 5-Lobe Pin security machine screws offer an improved tamper resistance compared to the more commonly available 6-Lobe Pin drive. The tooling is therefore more specialised and harder for members of the public to get hold of. Also known as torx plus or pentalobe screws, this variant has a button head. Torx and other lobed drive designs allows for a higher torque to be exerted than a similarly sized conventional hex socket head.

Socket Head Button Screws in a Black Oxide Finish. A popular socket head screw, typically used where a lower profile domed finish is required. UNBRAKO® branded and manufactured to be stronger than the other size for size high tensile versions. Includes a precision hex socket for maximum key engagement. Recommended for moderate applications such as machine guards, hinges and covers. Please note that due to the nature of the surface finish on Unbrako products, some surface corrosion may be evident. This does not affect the performance of the product. Property class of 12.9, similar to ISO 7380.

Holo-Krome branded socket button screws, in alloy steel with a strength grade of 12.9, and finished with black oxide. Manufactured in the USA, these are high precision screws, similar to Unbrako, with precision 3A threads for greater clamping force. Socket button head screws have a lower wider head than the socket head cap screws and tend to be used where the head of the bolt will not cause snagging. The hex drive is generally smaller than other hex driven ranges and thus the ultimate tightening torque is reduced (see data sheet). Manufactured to ISO 7380 and are fully threaded.
