There's an old saying that's often used when thieves have stripped a place clean: "They took everything that wasn't screwed down." And while that might make you think that something that IS screwed down is safe, that's not the case, even with tamper-resistant screws.
This isn't to say they don't have their place, though. Tamper-resistant screws can be used anywhere you would use a normal screw, the key difference being the head of the former incorporates design features that make them difficult—but not impossible—to loosen without special tools. As a result, they're best thought of as a low-cost option to discourage "casual" vandals who may be out to steal playground equipment or tamper with utility lock boxes and the like.
And one particular benefit with these screws is that most are quick to show evidence of tampering, so routine checks can let you know if someone is trying to defeat your security measures.
But knowing when it's appropriate to use tamper-resistant screws can be a question for the experts, like those at Bill's Mobile Lock. We can provide you with the input you need to decide if these screws are right for your requirements, and then we can provide you with a professional installation and service as well.
