Ammo can lock

[Raven]

All TSA approved locks can be easily beaten as they have to have a TSA key which can be cloned easily.

A master key to every lock ever made is for sale at every hardware store and most pawn shops for less than $100

I picked this can up recently that someone went full-retard on well, maybe not retarded, but it might be a little overkill the welded hasp through the latch is actually pretty sweet, but the additional hasp on the long-side of the can was kinda over-kill ‍ Maybe the previous owner was very protective of his 9mm lung blowout ammo ‍

FJB! Spray painted on the side.

I used one on the large (20mm?) cans to build a center console on my jeep. Used this and a dremel. Cut hole in center of latch. Bolt lock to can. The lock pivots.

I already own one of these and it's been tested successfully! Being cordless comes in real handy when you're locked out of the Conex at hunting camp that stores your ATV when somebody lost the key!

Wow. 9mm, 50AE, 223, 308, 308 API, 300 Win Mag, and FIVE 50BMG hits to break it in half.. and it was still “locked”.

Nice.

I guess no one would ever think of just picking up the can and carrying it away to be opened at their leisure?

Where’s the fun in that?

Of course, as stated earlier, this lock is simply meant to keep an honest thief honest. Deter curious eyes, etc.

Heck, you can go simple, and buy the TSA 002 & 007 master keys on Amazon for less than $10, I think.

I like your option. Simple and effective. I have one can I setup with a lock but I bought the kit to drill the hole through the front. It works well but the main thing I do not like about what I did is the nut on the inside. It gets in the way just enough to be annoying.

sorry I see no point, put them in a locked cabinet or safe
