1. A tamper resistant closure mechanism for selectively securing a lid to a utility vault, comprising: a utility vault having a plurality of sidewalls and an opening;a cap operably engaged to an opening of said utility vault and including a recessed lip;a lid sized to rest on said lip with the lid and having a perimeter entirely positioned within the interior edge of said cap;a nut and bolt;a locking assembly interconnected to said cap, said locking assembly comprising: an upper planar member having a first aperture configured to receive a bolt, and an angled portion, wherein the angled portion extends downward and further including a second aperture;a middle planar member spaced apart from the upper portion by a gap, the middle portion comprising a third aperture;a lower portion comprising at least a base and sidewalls, the lower portion spaced apart from the middle portion by a second gap, the lower portion further having a fourth aperture and being adapted to house a nut; andwherein the bolt extends downward through the apertures of the locking assembly and through the nut. 2. The tamper resistant closure mechanism of claim 1, wherein the top planar member is connected to a sidewall of the lower portion by a first arcuate portion. 3. The tamper resistant closure mechanism of claim 2, wherein the first arcuate portion further comprises a cut out portion. 4. The tamper resistant closure mechanism of claim 2, wherein the middle planar member is connected to a sidewall of the lower portion by a second arcuate portion. 5. The tamper resistant closure mechanism of claim 1, further comprising a nut, wherein the nut comprises a square shape that is interchangeable with a corresponding square nut. 6. The tamper resistant closure mechanism of claim 1, further comprising a plate adapted to be received in the utility vault, wherein the plate is received in the gap between the upper planar member and middle planar member of the locking assembly. 7. A locking assembly for use in a utility vault, comprising: an upper planar member having a first aperture configured to receive a bolt, and an angled portion, wherein the angled portion extends downward and further including a second aperture;a middle planar member spaced apart from the upper portion by a gap, the middle portion comprising a third aperture;a lower portion comprising at least a base and sidewalls, the lower portion spaced apart from the middle portion by a second gap, the lower portion further having a fourth aperture and being adapted to house a nut; anda nut and a bolt, the bolt extending downward through the apertures of the locking assembly and through the nut. 8. The locking assembly of claim 7, wherein the top planar member is connected to a sidewall of the lower portion by a first arcuate portion. 9. The locking assembly of claim 8, wherein the first arcuate portion further comprises a cut out portion. 10. The locking assembly of claim 8, wherein the middle planar member is connected to a sidewall of the lower portion by a second arcuate portion. 11. The locking assembly of claim 7, further comprising a nut, wherein the nut comprises a square shape that is interchangeable with a corresponding square nut. 12. The locking assembly of claim 7, further comprising a plate adapted to be received in the utility vault, wherein the plate is received in the gap between the upper planar member and middle planar member of the locking assembly. 13. A locking assembly for use in a utility vault, comprising: a lower portion, the lower portion comprising a base and sidewalls, the base further comprising a first aperture;a middle planar member spaced apart from the lower portion by a gap and comprising a second aperture, the middle planar portion connected to one of the lower portion sidewalls by a first arcuate connection; anda top planar member spaced apart from the middle planar member by a second gap, the top planar member connected to one of the lower portion sidewalls by a second arcuate connection, the top planar member further comprising an angled portion extending downward into the second gap and comprising a third aperture, wherein the first, second, and third aperture are aligned along a central axis. 14. The locking assembly of claim 13, wherein the angled portion is circular in shape. 15. The locking assembly of claim 13, wherein the locking assembly is formed from a single piece of metal. 16. The locking assembly of claim 13, wherein the first arcuate connection and second arcuate connection are disposed opposite of one another. 17. The locking assembly of claim 13, wherein the angled portion extends downward in the direction of the second arcuate connection. 18. The locking assembly of claim 13, further comprising a nut, where the nut is housed in the lower portion, such that the nut is aligned with the apertures along the central axis.
