Secure modules [RE-wrenches]

[Brian Teitelbaum]

Kurt,

You might want to look into UniRac's Security Hardware. They have "Starhead"
bolts and aluminum "breakaway" nuts that are designed to prevent theft, or
at least make it hard and time consuming.

See page 14 in their pricelist here:

Greetings all,

I do mostly remote, off-grid systems usually top of pole mounted.  I'm
interested in getting more secure with my mounting method of using the 1/4
inch hex head stainless steel nuts/bolts Direct Power and Water sends out
with their racks.

I went to Fastenal and they do have 1/4 inch button head bolts with a smooth
round head and a 'hex' hole recessed in it that takes a special bit for a
drill/driver.  I imagine using nylocks to make it all but impossible to get
the bolts loose without the special bit (or perhaps blue threadlock?).

I can order these bolts and SS nylocks from Fastenal for about 67 bucks a
hundred count, but decided to 'tap' the big info resource first.

Thanks for any thoughts on the subject -- Kurt
