Put a high security cam lock on the keezer lid. Low profile and difficult to bypass if installed correctly. If you're worried about friends of friends stealing you're beer you should also be worried about one of them having seen one of the many ways to pick/bypass combo and most pad locks. Even lockout tags can be bought online and replaced after being broken off. The expense and level of high security you're using all depends on how bad you think the 3rd degree friends are.
Cheaper cam locks will suffice and at least show you made reasonable effort.

this makes me glad i dont have kids....yet

so in like 20 years when we do have early teens hopefully it will be easier to thwart them.... but i doubt it
 
I like the idea of the alarm... use a car alarm and put the horn close by or in the kegerator/freezer. Instead of disconnecting the lines couldn't you put a valve in line?

Now that says it's for the 525SS, I'm not sure if it would prevent one from getting beer out of the tap by pushing it into "creamer mode" on the 575's.

Expensive too, but just what the Dr. ordered.

Plus won't stop the picnic tap to to keg problem. Alarm would also be a problem as it still needs a power source which can be disabled. I'd be thinking of locking the hinges out of site so not a decorative solution needed (after disconnecting the Q.D.'s of course)
 
:Dokay I thought the training the dog to guard the keezer, or keep teenagers out the house was a great idea......but I've surpassed myself with this one......Chain your Mother in Law to the Keezer....that'll keep em out
 
Pour a sixer of O'Doul's in a keg with some laxatives. That would be difficult to hide. :mug:

This is the best idea in the whole thread. +1

How about designing shelves around the outside of the keezer and line it with lots of books. That would keep most teenagers away.

You think that's a good idea? Every time you go for a beer YOU have to deal with that, you must really like her! :D

That would keep me out!!!
 
Weigh the legs before you go out of town. Let him know you know how much is in there and that he is responsible. Also get a padlock, a dog, alarm and surveillance system. Maybe some lasers too.
