Barrel Lock

"O" Rings around the key hole and ball hole are water tight!

The tamper resistant head cannot be broken off or gripped with tools!

Meterguard's new high thrust barrel lock generates a unique clamping force of over 60 lbs and produces a tight, tamper proof installation when used on end caps, housings or rings. The locks are completely sealed and are water tight, they are made of thru-hardened stainless steel and are guaranteed not to rust! They can easily handle dirt, mud, insects, foreign objects, water, ice, abuse and neglect for decades. The short tapered head cannot be gripped with pliers or similar tools and will not break off.

Barrel Lock Specifications

      STANDARD FEATURES:

• Seals at the key and ball openings completely isolate and  protect the inner chamber from the harshest environments. The seals, coupled with stainless steel components, virtually guarantee that the lock will remain operable, regardless of the environment.
  
• Stainless steel components positively eliminate barrel lock failure due to plating deficiencies and corrosion.
  
• Through hardening, vs. case hardening of all parts, significantly increases the ability of the barrel lock  to withstand severe tampering efforts (including bolt cutters and hammers) without deforming or breaking.
  
• One piece construction eliminates the weak, rust-prone joint which is normally found between the barrel and the head of other barrel locks.
  
• Re-keyable:  The unit can be "re-keyed" at a fraction of the cost of complete replacement.
  
• Re-buildable:  Since all of the components are stainless steel, the life of the unit can be extended almost indefinitely.  Simply disassemble, clean the parts, replace the seals (if needed) and reassemble.
  

      ADVANTAGES:

• High Security is attainable through the use of a simple, yet highly effective, design in which a bolt with a unique configuration is deeply nested in a close-fitting protective recess. This design makes it virtually impossible to operate the bolt with any type of tool. The bolt can only be engaged and operated by a mating key. The keys are available only to authorized individuals who are registered with the manufacturer. 
  
• Ultra Simple, patented design of only two moving parts practically eliminates the possibility of a lock becoming inoperable for any reason.
  
• Tamper Resistant:  The thick, tapered head of the barrel lock, coupled with one-piece construction and through-hardening, greatly enhances the barrel lock's ability to deflect hammer blows as well as other serious attempts at vandalism, including bolt cutters.
  
• Reliability:  The rugged, simple design will operate in spite of the ravages of vandalism, inactivity, environmental attack and time.
  
• Positive Operation: Since the "key" is a tough, miniature socket, a stubborn barrel lock can be opened by simply applying a little more torque.
