Standard TP pin tamper torx screws only cover regular M2-M6 lengths. Many outdoor security and charging pile equipment have limited installation space, requiring custom thread pitch, extended/shortened shank, special head thickness and exclusive coating anti-theft screws. Non-standard customization involves mold opening, sample trial and mass production. Unclear drawing marks or wrong material selection cause mass defects, delayed lead time and order rejection.
| Custom Type | New Mold Required | Mold Cost Range | Sample Lead Time | Mass Production Lead Time | Applicable Project Scenarios |
| Only screw length changed, recess & size unchanged | No new main mold, only cutting blade replacement | 0 RMB, only blade processing fee | 3-5 days | 7-10 days | Standard head TP screws with custom shank length |
| Custom head thickness/diameter & special thread pitch | New heading mold only | 300-800 RMB per set | 7-10 days | 12-18 days | Ultra-thin charging pile cabinets, narrow installation space equipment |
| Brand new special head & exclusive non-standard tamper recess | Full new heading, thread rolling & recess mold set | 1200-3000 RMB full mold set | 12-18 days for samples | 20-30 days mass delivery | Scenic exclusive anti-theft equipment, proprietary intellectual property cabinets |
1. Drawings must fully mark thread M size, pitch, head outer diameter, head thickness, total length, TP recess model, material and salt spray requirement; missing parameters lead to unmatched samples; 2. Special anti-corrosion note: Mark SUS316 with 1500h salt spray for coastal equipment, SUS304 500h for inland regular security cabinets; 3. Torque limit note for thin sheet application: Mark max allowable tightening torque to prevent sheet piercing; 4. IP protection agreement: Sign exclusive mold contract for proprietary special tamper recess to forbid supplying same mold to other clients.
1. Recess cracking & slipping: Increase head thickness, adopt S2 hardened thread rolling mold and lower heading stamping impact speed; 2. Failed salt spray test: Thicken coating thickness and add passivation sealing process for stainless steel custom parts; 3. Thread tolerance mismatch with customer nuts: Adjust thread rolling mold tooth tolerance and test matching with client original nuts at sample stage; 4. Lead time control: Split full new mold orders into sample, pilot mass and formal mass delivery, update production schedule to client 7 days in advance.
