Where is the place to go to get replacement security head hardware?
I have a couple cabinets that have rusty screws and as much as I enjoy cleaning/painting them, the security bits don't play well with paint inside the heads and I'm just too lazy to deal with it any more.


Is there a one-stop shop I haven't heard of for these things?

You can get torx screws at just about any hardware store, or big box home improvement. Just get ones without the security heads.
 
That's just it though, I'm looking for the security head hardware, not just a torx head screw.

Nothing over at BobRoberts, maybe Happ?
 
Do you have a local hardware specialty store? Around here we have Tacoma Screw, and if they don't carry it, they'll order in just about any bolt/screw you can think of: http://www.tacomascrew.com/

I don't think they ship, but maybe there's a similar place out by you.
 
I had to deal with those a lot when restoring my After Burner upright what I ended up doing was replacing all the security bits with new ones from Home Depot. I used regular Hex head machine type screws that Home depot sells they already come in black. I thought they actually looked better gave the finished After Burner cabinet a more Aircraft rivet type look I can take a few pictures later tonight if you want to see what they look like.
 
I've used the bolt depot a bunch of times... very happy.
I'm also a big fan of McMaster-Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com/ )... they have an incredible selection (of all kinds of supplies) and shipping is blindingly fast.

of course YMMV !

Thanks for the links guys, I'm bound to find what I need at one of these :)

Another reason I need the security type heads is because I do repairs for a local op here and some of the stuff coming through my shop has to go back out on a route so I'd like a decent bench stock of them..


Thanks again, I'll post back once I've found the best deal for others doing future searches.
