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.

Instead of using wood screws, use machine screws with self locking nuts
inside? Then if anyone tries to unscrew from the outside, the nuts will
turn with the screws? Long brass screws can be got easily for sockets,
etc. 3.5mm locking nuts might take some finding. ;-)
