Leo Industries manufacture and supply anti vandal bolts engineered to reduce tampering, theft, and unauthorized removal in public and industrial installations. These security fasteners are designed with specialized drive profiles that cannot be opened using ordinary spanners or screwdrivers, making them suitable for locations where safety, reliability, and maintenance control are essential. Anti vandal bolts are widely used on street furniture, signboards, fencing, telecom cabinets, utility covers, lighting poles, public toilets, and equipment enclosures. With consistent machining, controlled hardness, and dependable thread accuracy, our anti vandal bolts help protect assets while supporting long service life in outdoor and high-traffic environments.
Working Principle & Process Flow
Anti vandal bolts work by combining high-strength fastener bodies with tamper-resistant head designs. The bolt is installed using a matching security bit or socket, and the unique drive pattern prevents removal with standard tools. Depending on the application, anti vandal bolts may use pin-hex, pin-torx, snake-eye, tri-wing, clutch, one-way, or breakaway head concepts. During installation, the bolt is tightened to the required clamp load, creating a strong joint. For authorized maintenance, the correct driver engages the head profile and allows controlled removal, while general vandal tools fail to gain traction, reducing damage and deterring theft.

Maintenance & Safety Tips
ChecklistLeoindustries
Pre-Installation
Confirm the correct bolt size, thread pitch, and security drive type for the application
Inspect mating surfaces for burrs, paint buildup, or debris that can reduce clamp load
Use matching security bits and keep them controlled with authorized maintenance staff
Installation Practices
Tighten to the specified torque to achieve proper clamping without damaging the head profile
For outdoor joints, use suitable washers and corrosion protection to prevent loosening and seizure
After installation, verify alignment and check that the joint cannot be shifted by hand force
FAQs — Anti Vandal Bolts
Q1
What are anti vandal bolts?
Anti vandal bolts are security fasteners designed to resist tampering and unauthorized removal. They use special head profiles that require a matching driver, making them suitable for public infrastructure and theft-prone installations.
Q2
Where are anti vandal bolts commonly used?
They are used on street furniture, signage, fencing, enclosures, CCTV mounts, electrical boxes, lighting poles, public equipment frames, and any installation where preventing tampering is important.
Q3
Do anti vandal bolts require special tools?
Yes. Installation and removal typically require a matching security bit or socket. This controlled-access approach helps ensure only authorized teams can service the joint.
Q4
Are anti vandal bolts suitable for outdoor environments?
Yes. With appropriate material selection and coatings, anti vandal bolts perform well outdoors. Pairing them with washers and corrosion protection helps maintain clamp load and improves service life.
Q5
How do I choose the right security head type?
Selection depends on access control, environment, and the required removal policy. Options include pin-hex, pin-torx, one-way, and breakaway styles. Share your application details to match the best option.
