| Has anyone devised an idea or gizmo to lock a Ammo Can? |
| Here is a link, just found it, doing a Goggle Search. Hope this is what you are looking for. Thanks - LesClick Here |

If you're handy, cut a link from a piece of chain so it is a long "U" shape, grind the open ends of the "U" flat, weld it to the can under the latch. Cut, drill or torch an oblong hole in the latch so the link the latch can pass thru. You put a padlock thru the link and its locked. More labor but it's almost free and It will not destroy the air/water tight integrity of the can. If you have any British cans that the RG shipped in, notice the little tab with the hole in it centered under the large hole in the latch. You could run a small cable thru it and lock it that way, or simply run a cable/chain thru the lower wire handle and the hole in the latch. But that setup could be easily defeated. The Brits used that hole to run a tamper evident lead seal cable thru. |
| A lock is good for security if kids are about or you live in a Peoples Republic Of state but for the likes of me I would be looking for the key that got misplaced or Alsenheimers would make me forget the combination lock numbers for sure.A Bg could just pick up the ammo box and take a hike with it also. |
