Locking ammo cans

[ray1970]

So, other than putting some sort of latch or hasp on them, is there a clever way to secure an ammo can with a pad lock?

Thanks. I had kind of pictured something like that. I just didn't want the head of the bolt inside of the can. Perhaps I can do something similar but use a carriage bolt instead.

Here's a kit without too much intrusion inside the can

But that's what I like about this place... I don't have to google it. I just have to ask.

This has the potential for being dupe'd later on. I would have suggested Bing or dogpile, google is so 2012

I wouldn't trust anything from MS so Bing is out. I like using GoodSearch.com since my searches benefit my selected charity (NRA-CDF in this case) but you have to realize GoodSearch basically relies on Yahoo.

As far as being duped, you KNOW there will be another thread on this in about 2 days ...

A cable lock will work fine. Or a chain and padlock. For low security, just a plastic zip strip can keep people from snooping.

have one of us ak builder use our spot welder to spot weld a heavy tab with a hole for the lock on the front of the can then use a cutoff wheel to cut a slot in the ammo can latch tab
