Manufacturers are quickly turning to a unique, new, high security screw called the Key-Rex™ designed by Bryce Fastener Inc. to end tampering and theft of their high-ticket, portable items.

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) June 14, 2012

Worldwide retailers and manufacturers like Vanguard (vanguardproductsgroup.com), Invue and Engineered Network Systems (ens-co.com) are turning to a unique new screw called the Key-Rex™ to end tampering and theft of high-ticket portable items like laptops, cell phones and solar panels. Developed and manufactured exclusively by Bryce Fastener, Inc., the unique design of the Key-Rex™ makes it practically impervious to vandals and has quickly given rise to its claim of being the most secure and theft-proof fastener in the world.

The most unique feature of the Key-Rex™ is the endless number of complex shapes developed for the screw’s keyway. The keyway is the slot in the screw where the screw’s driver bit fits. Each keyway shape and matching driver bit is licensed to only one client. The driver bits essentially function like a key so Bryce recommends that clients keep them in a safe and restrict their use to authorized personnel. Numerous other security features make these screws and bolts nearly impossible to remove without the special driver.

Bryce Fastener has spent years developing the Key-Rex™ and keeps its secrets tightly under wraps. Company president, Bryce Campbell told us “there’s this big misconception out there that other so-called ‘security screws’ are secure. But the truth is, you can walk into any hardware store and buy a set of bits for every one of them. That’s not security in my book, and that’s why we developed the Key-Rex™.” Since production began in 2008 Bryce says there have been no criminal breaches reported by Key-Rex clients. Thousands of retailers and manufacturers will see Key-Rex™ showcased at the 2012 NRF Loss Prevention Expo in New Orleans, LA at the Ernest Morial Convention Center June 21-22, 2012, booth #1716.

Need for change in Loss Prevention programs is a hot topic in today’s retail industry. Research by Merchant Analytics indicates apprehension-focused Loss Prevention programs (security guards) actually cost more than they recover. Studies show that retailers focusing on prevention as opposed to apprehension are seeing a 94% reduction in loss over the past 5 years. Invue Security, Engineered Network Systems, and Vanguard Products Group are just a few of the global leaders in the Original Equipment Manufacturing industry who have implement Key-Rex™ into their designs.

Key-Rex™ is manufactured in the U.S., strong, affordable, and can be made to meet any screw or bolt specifications. Founded in 1972, Bryce Fastener Inc. designs and manufactures custom bolts, nuts and screws for security applications.
