Road sign theft: a frequent and dangerous occurrence.

Road sign theft is an act that affects practically all nations, not just the United States.

In the USA, the theft of road signs is a more widespread occurrence than you might think, especially among young people. However, road sign theft is an act that affects practically all nations, not just the United States.

In addition to the economic damage that this type of action can cause, the potential risk to the safety or, in certain cases, even to the lives of citizens is much greater. The improper removal of a road sign can cause serious accidents, which can potentially even be fatal.

For this reason, it is increasingly necessary to prevent this from happening by protecting road signs with appropriate anti-theft systems. An anti-theft system for road signs should allow easy assembly and disassembly of the signage element, and at the same time make it as difficult as possible to remove it for those who are not authorized to do so.

Deter Bolt® Free: anti-burglary and anti-theft screws for your road signs

DETER BOLT® FREE is the system designed and patented by Cagnasso s.r.l. for road signs.

The features and specifications of the DETER BOLT® FREE screw allow it to be implemented in other types of security projects too: door and window frames, industrial and automotive vehicles, road panels and signs, installations and many other investments that need to be protected and cared for. It is a system capable of providing effective protection against burglary and theft.

What are the advantages of a Deter Bolt® Free screw?

DETER BOLT® FREE provides real anti-theft protection of the systems and therefore of the entire investment.

DETER BOLT® FREE guarantees:

  • Impossibility of removing the screw thanks to the spherical surface and the special notches, which cannot be gripped except with the key supplied.
  • Real anti-theft protection of the system and therefore of the entire investment.
  • Easy assembly due to the use of normal clutch and impact screwdrivers.
  • This reduces annual maintenance costs (normally calculated at around 1.5% of the total investment).
  • Significant savings on assembly time compared to normal anti-theft systems on the market, which results in a significant reduction in labour costs.
  • Possibility of carrying out regular maintenance or replacement of the panels without the need to break or tamper with the support structure.
  • Reduced assembly times compared to normal anti-theft systems on the market.
  • Possibility of implementation in all security projects.
  • No need to break or tamper with the support structure.
  • Consequent reduction of extraordinary maintenance costs (normally valued at 10% of the value of the system every 10/15 years).
