Shear Nuts are a type of 1-Way Security Nut specially designed to prevent removal after installation. The hexagonal head of a Shear Nut is designed to snap off (or shear) after installation, leaving a permanent, tamper proof fastening. The installation breaking points for each Shear Nut can be found in the technical specification on the individual product pages.

Accu also lists Shear Bolts in our standard range, which can also be tightened with a spanner or wrench, with the head head of the bolt shearing off to leave a smooth permanent finish.

For an alternative type of tamper proof nut which can be re-tightened if needed and offers a superior high security solution, please see our range of Kinmar® Permanent Nuts.
