We’ve been trying to give birth to a new self drilling security screw for the past year and she’s finally here! She looks prettier than any other I (Bryce) have seen. Her tip is straight, her threads are sharp, and her head is put on square. When I first began in the fastener industry, self drillers were just emerging. They wobbled back then. If they’re not made with a dead straight drilling… Read more »

Along with the oils that stain our cold heading machines, lies a trail of sweat from our manufacturing director and machinists who’ve earned their right as trailblazers of the world’s most secure fasteners. It’s with sentiment I (Bryce) welcome a new warehouse and a new chapter into Bryce Fastener Inc. We are expanding because we need more room. Ten years ago I took a risk in trying to manufacture… Read more »

Custom Security Lag Bolts are Now Available by Bryce Fastener Inc. Currently, custom security lag bolts do not exist in the security screw business. They are hard to make and most won't put forth the investment. A customer requested we make him a lag bolt with an internal drive to protect pull box lids from copper wire theft. We designed a spec from scratch and figured out how to manufacture stainless… Read more »

In our image conscious society, “short and fat” is not as acceptable as “long and skinny”. In the world of security screws, they are the same. A “short and fat” security screw is one with short threads and a huge (fat) head. From a manufacturing standpoint, it’s nearly impossible to do. This is because a fat headed security screw won’t stay put in the die tooling (the center rejection… Read more »

We tap our Key-Rex® and Penta® nuts in a separate operation. Standard hex nuts have specially made machines that grip the hex and tap at 700 per minute. Our security nuts are designed not be gripped because of their taper at the bottom. This presents problems. It requires a balancing act between special high pressure clamps and oil. Both are required, yet the oil makes clamping even harder. The only… Read more »

Our micro-screw Headerman, Paul is making a 0-48 flat head thread forming screw. It’s made to tap into high density plastic for miniature Police cameras. It’s extremely small and very secure. The Penta drive and the matching bit in this size are only available by Bryce Fastener Inc. The Penta shape is more efficient than a comparable Hex. The sharper angles help drive the screw with little chance… Read more »

We recently shipped a large repeat order for Penta-Nuts® to be placed on rural postal mailboxes as a security measure. Penta- Nuts® work well in this type of application. They will provide a reliable security barrier against tampering, plus they can withstand the extreme heat and cold temperatures where they’re being installed. 316 stainless steel material will not corrode when the streets are… Read more »

Bryce Fastener took time out to enjoy a spring training baseball game. It was during a Phoenix cold spell (82?). The Chicago Cubs (we have a few employees from Illinois) were the featured team. We also celebrated two birthday parties; our Shipping/Receiving manager, Dean and our lovely bookkeeper, Donna (my wife). You can see their faces while we were asking for speeches. Read more »
