Hi Happy People,
I am just setting up my new Jayco
Penguin with Poly storage tubes.
One will house awning poles and the second will hold my expensive fishing rods.
Has anyone got a simple yet effective way of locking these screw on lids to deter pilferers. I am talking 100mm pipe.
Thanks,
Steve

PVC = Polyvinyl chloride also abbreviated by some to "Poly"

simple way would be to drill a hole through the screw on end from one side to the other and put a long bolt through it with a pad lock,cheers.

Have a look at a standard setup and you will see a long 'bolt' with a retaining clip on the other end. All you do is replace the clip with a medium sized padlock on each end. Better if the locks are keyed alike for simplicity. Just finished doing
mine today on my new van
You can use a push on cap in lieu of the screw on types as you wont lose them with the bolt/padlock fitted (and they are cheaper to buy). I have had them with both types on all my previous setups with no losses from either.

Hi Steve,
Not sure of the brand but ive seen in the campertrailer mags a screwon cap that is lockable.
You screw it on then turn the key and its locked on.
Will try to find the make and a contact number.
Cheers Wilko

Hi Steve,
I glued carpet on the inside of my pipe. One end I glued on the cap but firstly glued carpet on the inside of the cap and then a few layers of bubble wrap. The other end I also have glued carpet on the inside of the locking cap and a small ball of bubblewrap to go in after the rods. All rods are wrapped in their bags as
well. I have carried fly and spinning rods like this for years now and no damage or scratches.

g'day Phantom,
here is a basic set up using a simple hasp and staple screwed or riveted on,it can then have a padlock put on it. but as they say locks are for honest people, and if some low life wants in they will get there.hope this helps .Just remember to screw it closed before locating the staple.
