The tamper resistant screw is a low cost, one-time-use security product. The screw includes a self drilling mechanism that eliminates the need for a hole puncher. A standard drill is all that is needed for installation; once the screw is installed the screw head comes off. The tamper resistance screw can be used in a variety of applications including ringless meter sockets. The screw is a very secure and inexpensive way to secure gang meter sockets.
