Tamper Proof Hardware
Anti-vandal hardware is essential for protecting aluminum signs against theft and vandalism. Two commonly used types of anti-vandal hardware are break-away nuts and rivets.
Read MoreBreak-away nuts are specialized fasteners designed to prevent unauthorized removal of aluminum signs. These nuts have a unique design that allows them to be tightened using standard tools but resists loosening. If excessive force is applied to the nut, it breaks away, leaving a tamper-evident feature that indicates tampering or attempted removal. Break-away nuts provide a reliable deterrent against sign theft.
Rivets are another effective form of anti-vandal hardware for aluminum signs. They consist of a solid pin or rod that is inserted through holes in the sign and the mounting surface, and then secured on the opposite side with a rivet head. Once installed, rivets are extremely difficult to remove without specialized tools, making them an excellent choice for deterring vandalism. Attempting to remove a sign secured with rivets typically results in visible damage to the sign, indicating tampering.
By utilizing break-away nuts and rivets as anti-vandal hardware, the security and integrity of aluminum signs can be significantly enhanced. These specialized fasteners provide a strong defense against theft and vandalism, ensuring that the signs remain securely in place and effectively convey their intended message in various environments.
