The units are cast from one piece of metal so have no moving parts. The keys are touch sensitive and cannot be removed. The worst that can happen is the paint on the engraved legends may be scratched but you would have to be a particularly inventive chav to try that. Best Regards Mike Good Morning JR

Local chav's seem to like nothing more than pulling off buttons, or smashing them into the unit. Can you beat the chav? Hi Aerco

When you say vandal proof, how about attacks to ATM’s. Local chav’s seem to like nothing more than pulling off buttons, or smashing them into the unit.

Can you beat the chav?

If these are used, it makes it much more difficult for a vandal to remove the keypad. There are a number of types of tamper-proof screws and fasteners available from a variety of sources.

Although the key areas are raised to give a "button" style appearance, but they are not separate components so cannot be prised away from the unit.

It's only been around for a couple of years but is taking off fast. Their website has a video which explains how it works. Have a look at www.itwactivetouch.com.
