Description of πŸ”’ Cruiser Accessories 81200: Stainless Locking Fasteners for License Plate Frames - Standard-Stainless Star Pin

The standard locking stainless Star Pin fasteners are designed uniquely to deter the removal of any license plate frame from a vehicle. The design of these fasteners with the star center makes it impossible to remove screws without the special Star Pin key, keep the key for future use. Designed to fit all novelty/license plates for domestic vehicles. Includes four (4) 1/4 x 3/4 inch (6.35 mm x 19.05 mm) fasteners, four (4) plastic nut grommets and one (1) special Star Pin key for installation. User friendly and easy to install, see back of package for installation instructions. The combination of the pin in the center with the special Star Pin key makes it impossible to remove the screws with a typical allen wrench. These fasteners are made of stainless steel. Designed to fit all standard novelty/license plates. Easy to install (illustrations on back of package).

No security - good screws

The screws I received (2 packs) are not security screws. These are very nice stainless steel screws that come with a handy wrench and plastic mounts for your license plate, but they definitely won't "always remove any license plate frame from the car" as stated in the product description. The problem with the screws I received is that the B-pillar (the part that keeps a thief from stealing your license plate) was almost missing and didn't reach the crown of the screw. I was able to easily…

Pros
  • Convenient and easy to install, see back of box for installation instructions
Cons
  • -

Too small if not used with washers

I have these to fit a license plate to a cargo trailer. The license plate was brand new, aluminum, pretty soft. The head of these screws is slightly larger than the license plate hole, it will engage the license plate about half a millimeter either side of the license plate hole. The panel soon fell off after the holes in the soft aluminum panel grew larger over time. I had to buy some 1/4" washers to put under the bolt head and under the nut on the back to keep the panel from falling off the…

Pros
  • Designed for all new/private vehicle license plates
Cons
  • Disappears

No major complaints about fasteners

Product has arrived and has performed as expected. I've used them on 2 different cars. One required using the white plastic inserts that come with the kit. The other was not meant to be plugged in and simply had holes in the bumpers. The car that used the inserts was pretty plain and simple. When removing old plastic liners, be sure to put a piece of paper or thin plastic between the paint and whatever you are using to pry the plastic liner out, otherwise you may scratch the paint. I used two…

Pros
  • Stainless steel Star Pin standard locks are specifically designed to prevent the license plate frame from being removed from the car
Cons
  • Upgrades

Easily removable for outdoor accessories

I ordered a set to install 2 on the front and 2 on the back. I received it today and tried to install it. The screws are VERY soft metal. When trying to screw them into my car, the "star" started removing them with the tool provided. To be honest I don't even know if I can take them off, let alone someone trying to steal my plates. So yes, this security is there (hence the 2 stars). I know they were cheap and there are other options but I don't understand why soft metal was used for the…

Pros
  • Includes four (4) 1/4" x 3/4" (6.35mm x 19.05mm) fasteners, four (4) plastic nut bushings and one (1) star pin -Special key for installation
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
