They dont work themselves loose, they get installed incorrectly!
If they are not lined up straight into the spring they feel like they are tight but they are not latched. If you dont feel them roll over the spring then YOU didnt install it correctly. Once the spring is locked in they CAN NOT back out.
Same system used to hold 300 mph drag car bodies on, install them right they work!

+1 Absolutely correct-- A dzus fastener can't come loose if it is installed correctly. They will always want to tighten rather than loosen, which is why a bazillion or two are used on commercial aircraft.
The only way I think they would come loose is if the spring breaks which would be as rare a rocking horse ch1t....

True... unless the fasteners are defective or worn. If you find them way too easy to turn, one way or the other then you'd better replace them A.S.A.P.
