Abstract: A vandal-proof vending machine includes a rigid frame housed within an opening of a building with a cabinet of the dispensing machine being housed entirely within the building and thereby being rendered inaccessible from the exterior. A front opening of the frame to which products housed in an interior of the cabinet can be viewed is protected by a laminate of tough transparent material and tough metal mesh. The cabinet has rollers at a bottom thereof and one corner is secured by pivots to a side of the frame. The cabinet can thereby be rolled between a closed dispensing position and an opened servicing position.
