I have used a 1/4" reamer to open up the hole so a larger lock would fit in the past as well.

Years ago I just drilled the hole a little larger to accommodate the lock I wanted to use. Works just fine.

The Master Lock 7LJ worked like a charm! I'll snap a photo tomorrow. Will definitely be ordering two more for the other headstocks. I still have young kids running around the garage.

Now how ya gonna 'lock' the speed control dial?

Methinks kid control is more effective(including the neighbor's kids).







Good luck with that! :D

Ha! Well it's on the PP now so that's taken care of. As for the Mark V heads....maybe low voltage shock system? :)

With the PowerPro, why is a lock needed when you can set a password?

1. Just easier if they can't power it on at all. 2. Don't know how to set the password!

I know #2 is a poor excuse as I could easily find out.

I think the lock sends an immediate message that a password cannot.
