Security Bolt Fixings

Leo Industries manufactures security bolt fixings engineered to prevent tampering, theft, and unauthorized dismantling in demanding environments. Security bolts and anti-vandal fasteners use special drive profiles or controlled shear mechanisms that make removal difficult using common tools. These fixings are widely preferred for public infrastructure, utilities, industrial equipment, and outdoor installations where long-term reliability and safety are critical. With consistent machining, dependable materials, and strict dimensional control, our security bolt fixings support stable clamping force and reliable joint performance across a wide range of applications.


Working Principle & Process Flow

Security bolt fixings work by using a tamper-resistant head design that restricts removal or loosening. In many designs, a one-way drive allows tightening but resists reverse rotation, while other variants use a proprietary recess that requires a matching driver bit. Shear-type security bolts include a breakaway section that snaps at a preset torque during installation, leaving a smooth, non-grippable head that discourages tampering. The installation process typically involves aligning the joint, selecting the correct fastener size, tightening to the recommended torque, and completing a final visual check for correct seating and engagement.

Maintenance & Safety Tips

Checklist Leoindustries

Pre-Installation

  • Confirm the required security level and select the correct head and drive type
  • Check bolt length, thread size, and material compatibility with the joint
  • Ensure the proper driver bit or tool is available for installation on site

Installation Practices

  • Seat the joint surfaces properly and tighten smoothly to avoid cross-threading
  • For shear bolts, tighten until the breakaway section snaps cleanly at the set torque
  • Perform a final visual check to confirm correct seating and head condition

FAQs — Security Bolt Fixings

Q1 What are security bolt fixings used for?
Security bolt fixings are used to deter tampering and theft by using special head designs or breakaway features that make removal difficult using standard tools.
Q2 Which is better: one-way security bolts or shear bolts?
It depends on the application. One-way designs allow tightening and resist loosening, while shear bolts provide a smooth, tamper-resistant finish after the head breaks at a preset torque.
Q3 Do security fasteners come in corrosion-resistant options?
Yes. Security bolts can be supplied with corrosion-resistant materials or finishes suitable for outdoor, humid, or industrial environments, depending on exposure conditions.
Q4 Are special tools required to install security bolt fixings?
Some security bolt types use proprietary drive profiles that require a matching bit. Shear bolts typically install with standard tools until the breakaway section snaps.
Q5 Can you supply security bolts in multiple sizes and head styles?
Yes, Leo Industries can support different diameters, lengths, and head styles based on the installation requirement, along with guidance for selecting the right security level.
