Where people need to assemble fixtures or connect assemblies, but they don’t want them taken apart again, tamper proof screws are the common go-to hardware used. This applies to all sorts of constructions, ranging from separations in public areas to connection points holding furniture or cabinetry together. Originally designed to stop unscrupulous types from disconnecting and stealing equipment, tamper-proof screws have found their way into all types of assemblies, from fencing to public restroom fixtures to lockers and tool sheds connections to playground equipment. That said, not every tamper-proof screw design works well, as proven by characters who continue to find ways to disconnect them and steal property.
