Inside The Project
Bryce Security Fastener™
Security Fastener Manufacturer
A unique story, but nobody would listen.
Since 1972 Bryce Fastener has designed and manufactured the most innovative and effective security fasteners in the world.
Unfortunately, they had a hard time differentiating themselves from common security fasteners sold everywhere.
Establish that Bryce products are unique and far more secure than any other fastener on the market.
Anyone can purchase standard security screws and their matching bits at hardware stores worldwide. That’s the problem. If something is commonly available to the general public, it no longer provides real security. For example, if everyone has the key to the same lock, how secure is that lock?
So, what was being misunderstood? At first glance Bryce products look like all other security screws. Their one-of-a-kind-fastener story needed to be told in a way that was quick to understand.
We realized bold statements and detailed images were necessary for customers to recognize their uniqueness at a glance.
We positioned Bryce as the manufacturer of “The World’s Most Secure Fasteners.”
Recognizing that no other brand could honestly make such a statement, we confidently claimed it.
We also modified the Name & Logo from Bryce Fastener to Bryce Security Fastener to better
reflect their products and market position.
For years we have photographed fasteners for Bryce. As an innovator, Bryce continually develops new products, coatings, and features. This requires new photos and extensive retouching at considerable expense. Photo shoots require a lot of setup and they all have limitations (location, lighting, positioning, condition of subject, personnel, timing, cameras, etc.). And photographing extremely small items adds yet another level of complexity.
Developing 3D models and realistic material finishes allowed us to create product images in limitless positions, lighting, materials, coatings, backgrounds, and environments. The final rendered images are higher quality than traditional photographs as well.
“You shot these other angles too right?”
With a photo shoot you get what you get.
If the client wants a different shot or angle the following day, there is no easy way to make that happen without another photo shoot. 3D models have none of these limitations and changes can be made in minutes.
We created numerous digital material finishes and textures to perfectly mimic Bryce products.
Here is the final rendering in use. By presenting each item the from the same angle, we can point out the uniqueness of each product. This makes comparison shopping easy for the user.
The standard breakpoints work for today’s devices, but what about tomorrow’s? Creating a fully-responsive experience means starting with fluid coding and custom crafting breakpoints as dictated by the content.
Not the other way around.
Small devices should provide viewers with the same carefully constructed user flow as a large screen. We painstakingly adjust the layouts and breakpoints to respect the hierarchy of information.
Don’t let poorly coded mobile views reduce the impact of a strong website.
To show how “not” secure other so-called security screws are, we created a special page on the website. It exposes the problem with standard security screws and explains why Bryce products are superior.
We then marketed the page as a “featured snippet,” an SEO tactic which answers questions on Google like “What are the best security screws?” This page is now the number one search result for that and other terms such as “security screws,” beating out premier competitors like Home Depot and Amazon.
There are no assembly lines here. Every technician at Bryce Fastener is a craftsman. The words “quality” and even “Made in the USA” fall short of capturing the hardworking spirit of the company. Instead, we told this story through a single, powerful, authentic image.
Testimonials are an effective way to help customers see value in your products and services. When done right, they are relatable, appropriate and influential. We selected from thousands of submitted stories focusing on how Bryce products prevented costly theft, vandalism, and even saved lives.
“I’ve bought thousands of Bryce security screws for our pull-box products that secure buried copper wiring. In over a decade we haven’t had a single reported breach. None. I attribute that to the fact that Bryce fasteners aren’t sold on the open retail market and they’re engineered to repel every knock-off tool out there.”

Customers provide a fresh and authentic perspective.
Use their words. Keep it short and
focused.
A business card does more than introduce a person.
It is the first impression of the brand
and begins the process of building trust and loyalty.
The custom approach to design is
carefully applied throughout the brand for a consistent punch.
As the saying goes, repetition is reputation.
Similar to your own unique fingerprint. Look carefully — The keyway shape is unique to each customer. Each drive is designed so only that customer can remove their perfectly matched fastener.
Exclusive-to-you design that's engineered for zero-theft.
100% made-to-order, right here
in Gilbert, Arizona.
The obvious tact to defeat a bolt or screw is to simply "grip it" and remove it. The sloped, low-profile Bryce button head shape repels tampering tools. Locking plier simply can't get a hold of the sidewall like other screws.
Meets all IFI specification. Order with confidence.
The extra hardness and holding power helps keep the inner protector nut clean from debris. The unique tri-pin keyway adds another layer of tamper protection.
Our SmartGrip™ tapered design means the driver bit sticks to the driver and won't fall off.
