A manhole cover locking bolt construction for locking a manhole cover to an associated frame including a bolt having a threaded shank and an externally threaded head and an endless curvilinear groove in the top of the head for receiving a key of mating configuration for threading the bolt into and out of the manhole cover frame, and a cap for threadably mounting on the externally threaded head to protect the curvilinear groove against entry of foreign matter.

A pipe plug which cannot be removed from a pipe with the same key with which it is installed, the pipe plug having a body with a plurality of arcuate grooves having inclined arcuate ramps leading from its face into its body and terminating at shoulders for abutting engagement with first key having pins which bear against the shoulders to tighten the plug in the pipe but which cannot loosen the plug because the pins will ride up the ramps and cam out of engagement with the plug, and a second key for removing the plug including a ridge on the second key for mating with a complementary curvilinear groove in the plug. A counterbore is provided in the face of the plug to receive portions of the ridge which are of substantially the same diameter as the counterbore to thereby center the second key with respect to the plug and guide it while the second key is rotated until the ridge thereon falls into the groove to effect mating engagement therewith.

A tamper-proof bolt including a shank with a threaded end portion merging into an unthreaded portion of lesser diameter merging into an enlarged unthreaded portion merging into the larger base of a frustoconical head also having a smaller base, an undulating curvilinear groove in the smaller base, an island having lobes within the groove, an outer side in the groove, an inner side in the groove formed by the sides of the lobes of the island, and a cylindrical boss on the island extending axially outwardly from the smaller base and having a radial dimension which is approximately equal to the minimum radial dimension of the undulating groove. A key having an undulating curvilinear ridge for reception in complementary mating engagement in the curvilinear undulating groove of the bolt and having portions of a minimum radial dimension of approximately the same size as the boss for rotating engagement relative thereto and having lobes for meshing engagement with the sides of the undulating curvilinar groove when it is received therein.
