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!

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.

Oh ok. I'll just unplug it then.
