I am about to fix a small brass plate to the front door. The door is black, with brass door furniture, so it should look OK (after I've cleaned the rest of the brass!) I'd like to use some brass screws, but wondered about security screws in case some scrote decides to nick it (not sure how likely this is, though). Can you get brass security screws, or are they too soft to work? Even Torx or Torx+pin would be good; I don't really want the 'one way' ones.

I doubt that you can get brass ones. I'd opt for stainless steel and a home blackening kit if you want them to blend in with the door or even a dab of black paint. Another Bob

Yes, but it's the first time that I've had one of my own threads drift like this, in 40 years!

Consider yourself lucky that the thread has remained civil so long. One I started went off topic after 5 posts and quickly descended into name calling shortly after. Only one recognised troll has replied so far but there is time yet:)
