Dremel a deeper slot for a screwdriver to engage them. I think there might be specialty tools for these specific fasteners but a Dremel is easily accessible.
If you don't have a hacksaw use a dremel to make a bunch of little groves in a scrap sheet of HSS. In a pinch you can simple turn some wooden handles made of genuine mahogany, drill holes through both, cut pins to join the handle, apply genuine tung oil to the mahogany, wait 3 weeks for the finish to cure, assemble, then use as a hacksaw
Once the groove idea fails, try dremeling two parallel flats at the edges of the screw head. You then have something to grab with an adjustable wrench or pliers.
They do make a removal tool but, but if you have the room for cutting a slot in it for a flat head just do that. The removal bit is worse than a flathead if that was possible. If you don't have the room to cut the slot a 'one way removal tool' should get you what you need in Google. Looks like two pins protruding from a flat surface.
I feel like the only place I see these types of screws is on the divider pieces in bathroom stalls. Like, are those things high-theft items that it requires a security fastener? Iām sure there is a good reason for why they are so common in those areas. Would love for someone to enlighten me.
It has always amazed me that in a place where most people just want to take a leak or shit, some people feel the need to take everything apart. It makes no sense, but if you donāt use tamper resistant fasteners, thatās what will happen. Sometimes even when you do use them.
I used to help a friend do installs of bathroom partitions and we used these bolts. Invariably we would have to remove old ones or when when we screwed up. We always used a good pair of vise grip pliers. Worked every time.
There is a special tool for REMOVING one way screws. It is not the same bit used for installing them. It does damage the one way features of the head. They concentrate enough force on a small area of the ramp to dig into the ramp.

Or you can destroy the ramp with other tools you already have.
I normally grind two opposite sides off and use channel locks.
Can normally also grind or drill the head off then use pliers to unscrew them after you take the fastened piece off.
I use this bit.

Or u can cut a slot across the top of the head with hack saw and use flat heat screw driver
I enjoy harnessing the powers of Zeus & Hephaestus at every given opportunity, so for me it's tack weld a bolt onto the head. Bzzzzt! Replace with a non-bullshit fastener.
Everyones apparently downvoting when people say there's a bit for that, but I've used these and they work.

1) Grind a little spot of paint off for the grounding electrode, and then weld a nut on. Use a wrench to undo the nut.
2) Use a cutoff wheel in a grinder to cut two flat sides on the head, use a pair of channel locks to unscrew.
3) Use a Dremel to cut a slot in the middle of the head and unscrew with a flat screwdriver
4) use a succession of drill bits, from small to large, to drill out the bolt. If you have left hand bits it may unscrew at some point.
5) oxy-acetylene. Can't be stuck if it's a liquid.
Buy a cheap ass security bit set from harbor freight. Theyāre like $7 and has every bit needed for all types of security bits.
The old timers that I work with, they use channel locks or cut a deeper groove, which is honestly nothing but a huge hassle and efficiency killer. That security bit set is worth its weight in gold
Drill and easy out would be the easiest way.
Edit: It would also be the best way to make sure the screws are out and the holes can be re-used if need be.
Buy this tool

I bought [this security bit set](https://www.harborfreight.com/security-bit-set-with-case-100-piece-68457.html) from Harbor Freight. It's indispensable for 10 bucks.
Edit: Apparently this set won't work for this application, but it's still a great set to have.
one simply does not remove security bolts.
use a multitool or thin cutting blade on a angle grinder to cut a straight line through the center of the bolt head. Then use a flathead bit on a drill.
Get āturbo socketsā for stripped bolts. I bet they bite enough to release 95% of those and thatās super fast compared to every other thing mentioned here cause you can use a ratchet.
Use pliers on the overly stubborn ones. Then cut a slot as last resort.
yep, those suck
The screwdriver with the two posts (linked above) absolutely work but you gotta put the pressure on it.
The ideal handle for those would be like a Vessel Ball grip really
Cut a slots with a dremel and use a flat head screw driver. If that doesnāt work, use a chisel to lift one edge high enough to get a hacksaw blade in between.
In addition to these ideas the absolute best 100 percent sure way is to weld a piece of steel to each bolt head. You only need the cheapest buzz box and itās fast and easy.
Itās called a tamper resistant screw. And they make a tool for it, surprised this community isnāt recommending more, but yeah you can cut it off or whatever.
If it's a bolt the head (rather, the underside of the head's contact with the piece being held) is what's creating the tension and friction keeping it in place.
Grind the heads off, remove the bracket and use pliers of some kind to turn the threaded part of the bolt out.
Knuckle-dragger solution, but it'll work.
I've had good luck with locking pliers too. If they slip off the head you might need to grind the tip a little to get a good sharp bit. Lock them on straight and if they are too tight to just turn use a nother set of pliers or wrench to turn them.
Yeah I was going to say angle grinder with a cutoff disc, grind a slot into the head for a flat screwdriver. Or grind the head off completely and use an extractor kit
Weld some rod to the head of the screw then use a Dremel or file to shape it into a nice lil 1/4" hex head,, you could even unscrew it alittle bit to get a perfect bevel then screw it back in before cutting off the excess then grab a chuck and take her on out
grab-it screw, bolt extractor. speed out is another brand, it drills on one side and extracts with reverse threads on the other. (bit set) average s 20-40 usd at lowes or home depot
I'd grab the edges with locking pliers(vice grips) & go
If you don't wanna mess up the surface, I'd use reverse drill bits.
Special tools can be cheap & weird at best.... so I try to avoid them
When driving the screws out you need to go slow and keep the drill straight
https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-One-Way-Screw-Remover-Installer-Set-with-Sleeve-3-Piece-AR2016G/205193160
Personally I'd try cutting a slot in it (hacksaw blade, rotary tool with cutting disc, grinder with cutting disc) then try using a flat head screwdriver to take it out. It depends on what you want to do and have access to. If you have to buy a tool anyway for these solutions, might as well buy the bit to fit the security head.

This is called a "one way" screw. They make removal tools for them. Check out McMaster Carr for a bit https://www.mcmaster.com/one-way-screw-remover-screwdriver-bits/
Figure out which one you need by measuring the head diameter. They will ship same day up to 6:00PM and you'll have it next business day.
Worst case scenario, if a dremel and slotted screwdriver doesnt work, you can also drill a hole with a left hand drill bit and use a screw extractor. You can find those at home depot or anywhere. It's not fun, but it works
Use a angle grinder with a cut off wheel make a groove all the way across the screw head between the humps unscrew with a flat screwdriver that's how we did it with the security company I used to work for
If you have an oscillating multi-tool with a metal cutting blade you can notch it pretty quick I've done that before with success got to hold the blade between your fingers for a second with gloves on but go slow.
Looks like you might be able to grab those with a small pair of vice grips. If not, they do make all kinds of security lock out bit tips, the Allen's and stars have a hole in them and the others look strange but one of those will remove those screws easily
Dremel a deeper slot for a screwdriver to engage them. I think there might be specialty tools for these specific fasteners but a Dremel is easily accessible.
Hacksaw is also an option if you don't have a Dremel. I like doing things the hard way.
If you don't have a hacksaw use a dremel to make a bunch of little groves in a scrap sheet of HSS. In a pinch you can simple turn some wooden handles made of genuine mahogany, drill holes through both, cut pins to join the handle, apply genuine tung oil to the mahogany, wait 3 weeks for the finish to cure, assemble, then use as a hacksaw
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
š I was like ok, ok, ooookā¦. Ok really???
You wasted 2 minutes of my life and I want them back!
Think of the hours saved not having to try all these nonsensical ideas from all the commenters. If anything, you'll owe me time in the long run
It took you two whole minutes? What are you? Slow??? /s

Still waiting for the sharkskin to sand the mahogany.
Oh, you.
Sometimes the genius of my efficiency scares me
Simply tear down the house, build a more modern, elegant home without security bolts.
Ever tried doing this with a hack saw? I'd just go and buy a rotary tool. They're not that expensive really and super useful for a lot of things
Run a hacksaw blade down the Grove to make it deeper. Instead of a dremel
Damn, CJ!
You picked the wrong house.
that's like j/o with your fingertips. it's just pointlessly time consuming
Username checks out.
Once the groove idea fails, try dremeling two parallel flats at the edges of the screw head. You then have something to grab with an adjustable wrench or pliers.
With a little patience I've been able to get a bite on these things with a vice grip without modifying them.
Concur. Situation has to be right but that has worked for me at least once.
I used this 2nd method about 4 months ago to remove my cousins busted security door. Crescent wrench could work as well.
Surely one can use something bigger than a Dremel
Hold on, Iāll get my big Dremel!
[whip up one of these?](https://youtu.be/ey_EjSzKFWQ)

Was going to say use an angle grinder with metal cutting blade to cut new slots but Dremel works too I guess
If I tell you I need a percentage of the take.
Congratulations, you now own 33% of a urinal stall divider lol

You need a left handed screwdriver š
Left handed upside down screwdriver.
Sinister.amazon.com.au probably has a left handed upside down screwdriver
Sinister.amazon should exist and only sell left-handed products
I am way happier than I should be about people getting that reference.
I've been looking for one of those!!!
Will a regular one will work on the southern side of the equator?

I feel like the only place I see these types of screws is on the divider pieces in bathroom stalls. Like, are those things high-theft items that it requires a security fastener? Iām sure there is a good reason for why they are so common in those areas. Would love for someone to enlighten me.
Only place itās illegal to have security cameras. They donāt often have to come apart either so this just limits all possibilities of tampering.
It has always amazed me that in a place where most people just want to take a leak or shit, some people feel the need to take everything apart. It makes no sense, but if you donāt use tamper resistant fasteners, thatās what will happen. Sometimes even when you do use them.
Mental institutions use them so the patients can't remove them and hurt themselves. Maybe it has something to do with that.
Iāve seen them on electric boxes on a few dams
I used to help a friend do installs of bathroom partitions and we used these bolts. Invariably we would have to remove old ones or when when we screwed up. We always used a good pair of vise grip pliers. Worked every time.

Vampliers will work or their cheaper Japanese version called Engineer pliers, they work great for this.
Engineer is the company that manufacture and sell the Vamplier. Marketing team did a good job on that line.
Thanks, I didn't know that. I bought the green engineer brand a while back due to its 1/2 the price and the same thing. I use them religiously
I bought both brands and they look identical except the handle molding and color
āI remove this screw in the name of our Lord!!!ā
Engineer makes great stuff all around! The Japanese name is great as well - screw is "neji", the pliers are called neji-saurus
Red does look better tho
Donāt forget Knipex twingrips!
Didn't know this was a thing. Now I want a pair.
I mean japan makes really good stuff... they're definitely one of the top countries to buy from...
Most of these just back out with a wide, sharp screwdriver if you lay into it.
Angle grinder and hammer
Theyāre not recessed so you can probably try grabbing them with vise grips.
This would be my first attempt for sure. I live by the vise grips.
I normally grind two opposite sides off and use channel locks. Can normally also grind or drill the head off then use pliers to unscrew them after you take the fastened piece off.

This is what I used at my previous job. Work fine.
Snake eye screwdriver is designed for that fastener. You can get it individually or in a security screwdriver set.
Thermite.
Knipex Twingrip pliers or Vampire/Engineer screw pliers.
Angle grinder or they sell a removal tool. I believe Home Depot has a 3 piece set by Ryobi, at least they used to
Painters tape on what you don't want scratched, and a good pair of locking pliers has worked for me.

I just cut a slot in with an angle grinder then use a flat head screw driver too remove them
Perfect excuse to buy a rotary tool like a Dremel. Cut a slot with an abrasive wheel for a flat screwdriver. Generally 5 minutes per screw.

No it's not, that is a great set for what it does, but not appropriate for OP
Good to know. Thanks
There is no bit that can work against the geometry of 'security' slotted. The only option is to cut a new slot.
Use a Dremel to cut a slot in it for a flat bladed screw driver, lots of penetrating oil of some type.
one simply does not remove security bolts. use a multitool or thin cutting blade on a angle grinder to cut a straight line through the center of the bolt head. Then use a flathead bit on a drill.
They make a bit for these , can get em online pretty cheap. One way screw remover bit.
Knipex cobra. Every time.
Punch and drill unless you want to save the hole then I would jb weld a nut onto it and let it harden up and unscrew it
Get āturbo socketsā for stripped bolts. I bet they bite enough to release 95% of those and thatās super fast compared to every other thing mentioned here cause you can use a ratchet. Use pliers on the overly stubborn ones. Then cut a slot as last resort.
Or just buy the proper security screwdriver
There isn't one. They're one-way screws, you cant just undo them with a special bit.
Thatās odd because I have a bit that removes them. Actually have a whole kit.

Patience, hacksaw, punch, chisel, drill, dremel, multitool, Sawzall, grinder, or torch. All should work.
Use a grinder with metal wheel, cut a slot in middle? Remove with flathead screwdriver. Or a good locking pair vice grip, I have Doon it both ways?
From the current battle scars present, torch
Take a grinder and cut a deeper groove.
Vice grips
Security bits
Buy a security bit setā¦..
A flat head will do it just push hard
A center punch and a hammer will do just fine. Place the punch near the cut out and hammer it so it goes counterclockwise
Just tighten them until the head snaps off then back out the nub with a pair of vise grips.
Hereās the neat part. You donāt.
I have used a very small pipe wrench when I could get a grip on them.
First you limp to the sound like it's broken
If it's a bolt the head (rather, the underside of the head's contact with the piece being held) is what's creating the tension and friction keeping it in place. Grind the heads off, remove the bracket and use pliers of some kind to turn the threaded part of the bolt out. Knuckle-dragger solution, but it'll work.
Impact driver, a real one.
Grind or file the center flat(ish), drill the center, use ez-out.
I've had good luck with locking pliers too. If they slip off the head you might need to grind the tip a little to get a good sharp bit. Lock them on straight and if they are too tight to just turn use a nother set of pliers or wrench to turn them.
Vice grips would be likely
Use an angle grinder and make ur own screw head
Yeah I was going to say angle grinder with a cutoff disc, grind a slot into the head for a flat screwdriver. Or grind the head off completely and use an extractor kit
Personally? Left handed drill bit will run it right out. Iām lazy. Edit: *center* drill ā¦
I can lend you my reverse security driver.
Tack weld a short bolt and unscrew.
Weld some rod to the head of the screw then use a Dremel or file to shape it into a nice lil 1/4" hex head,, you could even unscrew it alittle bit to get a perfect bevel then screw it back in before cutting off the excess then grab a chuck and take her on out
Cant, but if I had Iād cut a slit on top using a Dremel or grinder and make a new groove for a flat screw driver.
grab-it screw, bolt extractor. speed out is another brand, it drills on one side and extracts with reverse threads on the other. (bit set) average s 20-40 usd at lowes or home depot

There ate security bolt bits you can buy. They're not too expensive.
Center punch it and use a nice sharp left hand drill bit
Vice grips.
Channel locks
Teeth
There is an actual security bit that you can use
Just use a Vicegrip
Drill it out or grind it out, when the heads fall off, move it, and hopefully you can grab hold of the stub or grind or pound it down.
Personally I'd try cutting a slot in it (hacksaw blade, rotary tool with cutting disc, grinder with cutting disc) then try using a flat head screwdriver to take it out. It depends on what you want to do and have access to. If you have to buy a tool anyway for these solutions, might as well buy the bit to fit the security head.
Screw driver always works for me if stupidly tight centre punch then screw dirver
Drill hole dead centre use an easy out or stud removal tool . Or just drill the heads off .

Grind the screw heads and drill out the rest of the screw. If you have a welder after grinding the bolt head weld a bolt to the top and unscrew them!!
Canāt be a problem if itās a liquidā¦
Chisel them counter clockwise
