Product Overview
The Middle Atlantic HTX is a 50-piece pack of 10-32 security rack screws with a star post (Torx-style) drive, designed to deter unauthorized tampering with rack-mounted AV equipment. Each screw is 10-32 threaded by 3/4 inches long with a pre-installed black nylon washer and a black finish, providing a complete security fastening solution for standard AV and IT rack equipment. The star post drive requires a specific driver bit, which discourages casual tampering without a specialized tool.
Product Description
Rack-mounted AV equipment in public or semi-public environments — conference rooms, hospitality spaces, classrooms, and retail locations — is frequently subject to unauthorized adjustment or removal. Standard Phillips or slot-drive rack screws offer no meaningful resistance to tampering, allowing anyone with a common screwdriver to remove rack equipment. The Middle Atlantic HTX security rack screws address this vulnerability with a star post drive pattern that requires a specific TBIT driver (sold separately) to install or remove. This deters casual tampering by users who lack the specialized tool. The screws are standard 10-32 threaded at 3/4 inches long — the same thread specification used throughout commercial AV and IT rack mounting. Each screw includes a factory-installed black nylon washer, which protects the equipment's front panel finish and provides a secure, non-marring fastening surface. The self-guiding pilot points ease installation, and the black finish maintains a consistent appearance in the rack face. Sold in packs of 50, the HTX provides enough screws to secure multiple rack positions in a single installation. AV integrators specify HTX screws for any rack location where equipment security is a project requirement.
