M3.5 security screws

[ringer]

Having to blank off several socket outlets in rented property. To discourage tenants from opening up and reconnecting sockets I want to use security screws to fix the blanking plates. Any ideas where I can get some security type M3.5 accessory screws?

RS do a couple if you have one near you.

I did have a look at RS but could only find 12mm long threads - bound to be too short for some backboxes.

Loads online here .

Choose your security type and they sell different lengths in packs of 10 or 100

Either MK do them or as Andy78 posted if can only get 12mm then use extension studs.

Maybe tap them out to M4, you'll have a much wider range of tamperproof machine screw options at that size.

And put two types in each box , make it really hard for them.

Sorry Marv you can get these screws easily enough and if the socket is to be reinstated in the future.
