I hear this concern often from parks departments, schools, and property managers—and it’s completely valid. Vandalism usually starts with exposed hardware. If someone can unbolt a seat slat or loosen a visible screw with a pocket tool, they will.
That’s exactly why our anti-vandal street benches are built with tamper-proof hardware and hidden screws as standard. We avoid exposed Phillips or hex heads on accessible surfaces. Instead, we mount seat slats from underneath or behind, and we cover remaining access points with low-profile plugs. For structural connections, we use security fasteners such as pin-in-torx, penta-head bolts, and shear-head screws that require specialty bits. Many of our vandal-resistant benches also include one-way security screws and thread-locking compound on critical joints.
For high-risk locations, we can upgrade to a full anti-vandal package: stainless tamper-proof bolts, welded internal brackets, hidden mounting feet, and anti-graffiti coating. The goal is simple—make it slow, noisy, and frustrating to remove anything, so most vandals give up quickly.
If you tell me the bench model or site conditions, I can recommend the exact hardware spec for your location. But the short answer is: yes, our benches are built to keep their fasteners out of sight and out of reach.
