faucet locks

Alternatively you could put your kegerator in a locked closet or room and access it that way.

This is how I wanted to do mine. not necessarily for the purpose of locking but to hide the chest freezer in the laundry room adjacent to the bar area and just have the taps coming through the wall. SWMBO said no, It would take up space in her laundry room. blah blah, priorities with women, they don't make any sense!

If you are using a tower I really like the idea of creating a box that slides right over the tower and locks to the top of the fridge. You could even make a design or write something on it along the lines of.... "Touch it and die..."

If you have taps on a fridge door I was picturing a board coming across the front of all the taps preventing them from moving and the board latched to the side of the fridge with a hinge and a lock...

But I feel like not letting the friends over is just asking for more trouble. If they are at your house you know more about what they are doing then if they are "somewhere else"

Haha or if you have an extra keg fill it with something that tastes TERRIBLE, hook it up to one of the taps and make them never want to try your homebrew again :cross:

Unfortunately, that won't work very well. Depending on the volume of beer in the keg, there is enough pressure inside to dispense a fair bit of beer before the taps would stop.

I second this. We poured quite a few beers out of my high school's kegorator after it was disconnected. We also found that the reefer door didn't latch securely and could be pulled open with a sharp yank, even though it was padlocked. I worked in the school cafeteria after hours, BTW. I had actually completely forgotten about it until you mentioned this.

Mmm, beer and ice cream. Everything a growing boy needs.

Anyway, my plan was to fabricate some sort of aluminum bar that swings over and locks all the tap handles and taps in place with one padlock.

Your High School had a kegerator? Where did you go to school? Adolph Coors Prep?

Catholic school... run by Franciscans. They didn't feel that God was so worried about the smoking and drinking. They used it for alumni parties and whatnot.

I know, I know... Insert "pedophile Catholic priest" joke here

Our KofC hall has two. At cost drafts and one dollar cans after meetings.

And card games. :rockin:

Now that didn't work. I drank Old English 800 as a teenager. If it has alcohol in it, they'll ingest it!

I agree, three words: Arrow Peppermint Schnapps. :cross:

Anyone have any pictures of their DIY Faucet locks. My keezer is sitting outside, now with 4 faucets and handles, I know it will be just a matter of time before I find some neighbors kid with his face sucking on the bottome of the faucet.
