I'm looking for some screws that can only be screwed in one way. The ones i'm thinking of hold bathroom stalls together. They are the ones that take a regular screwdriver, but theres only support on one side so it can only be turned to go in. What the hell are these called?

From most of the sites I found they're generally termed as One-Way Screws or Security Screws (if you're talking about something like this)

I hope these are as hard to get out as they appear.

The removal tool for them is commercially available. (though not many people happen to have one handy...)

Without that tool it's darn near impossible.

With that tool it's only marginally more difficult than removing any regular screw with a regular screwdriver. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Then it's perfect. I just want something that is not an every-person-has-one-handy kind of thing.

the removal tool is called a drill and about 10 seconds, and your shit is gone

Then what would you suggest for the best screws to protect stuff when you don't have access to the other side to put a nut on?
