do you have a Hemi in that thing??
You guys need a new circle of friends if you need to worry about locking up your beer.....never heard of this.]
More concerned with my 2 year old bumping a handle and losing the brew to the floor.
It hissed loudly at them and spat out a blast of foam that scared the bejeezus out of them. They haven't touched the kegerator since that day and I'm selling my faucet locks.
ahahahah!!!! perfect solution!
but FF a few years when they are late teenagers and want to sneak some of Dad's homebrew.

but I will have assisted them in picking up other nefarious skills like lock-picking or hot-wiring.
keep a battery around so you can still drink if the power goes out.
I used my lock picking ability to break back into my apartment yesterday. I grabbed the wrong set of keys going out the door.
I've always said my 'active' childhood taught me a lot of useful, but not quite legal, skills.
Don't these valves have a manual override.... In a pinch you could just physically position them to the open position
Would there be any concern with brass solenoid valves? Plenty of faucets have brass internals. My uncle can order the same style valve with a brass body for $7 each
Probably not a good idea to run the finished beer through the brass internals. The acidity of the beer could leech lead from the brass. Whether it would truly constitute a danger of lead poisoning I could not say, but I would not do it.
A skill is a skill. Its the application and intent that differs.
liquid QD.
Liquid Disconnect
The original eBay links in the OP are no longer active. Anyone have a good link to this stuff?
FYI, for all of you worried about inability to get at your beer during a power outage, you can pretty easily connect a picnic tap if you absolutely have to...
Most of these miniature solenoid valves have a manual open position as well.
I removed my liquid line from the QD and attached it to the valve. I then added another 3' section of tubing from the QD to the valve. I've done some other changes to my kegerators since then, so I should probably give it another test to see just how bad the foaming still is.
