Abstract
An information handling system housing is secured against unauthorized access with a security device integrated in the housing that selectively enables and disables screw movement relative to threads disposed in the housing. For instance, a freewheeling nut in the housing interfaces with an actuator that selectively releases or holds the freewheeling nut relative to the housing. When released, a screw coupled to the freewheeling nut cannot rotate relative to the threads of the freewheeling nut so that the screw maintains the housing secured until the freewheeling nut is held in position to allow removal of the screw.
