hardware to use on refurbished church signage?

Hello -
We recently cleaned up 2 signs for a church: repainted trim / new plexi / new hardware / etc etc.

We are not sure what hardware to use to keep the plexi covers down?
There was no existing hardware when we started on these but the covers blow around in the wind.
The signs are quite old. Any ideas here would be appreciated.

Check out pictures attached.

I believe the hole in the lip will match up with the hole in the sign face and there is a locking mechanism that fits in there to make the sign vandal proof. You might hafta contact the manufacturer or fabricate one yourself.

Easiest way would be to take accurate measurements, stuff it with a dowel that size, drill it and put a threaded screw insert in it and bolt it closed. You can use a small fender washer to help. It won't be locking, but it'll work.

Otherwise, just about any church sign manufacturer can send you some if you have those exact measurements. They're all relatively the same.​

Normally those have a lock at the center bottom. That one doesn't appear to have a lock. However I see three black grommets/holes in the plastic sign face that line up with holes in the metal frame. It might just be that you put a screw in each of those holes that threads into the grommet.

There are tamper proof nuts and bolts that are used on municipal signs that might offer some tamper protection. A special tool is needed to turn the nut.
