Locks increase tank security

Cylinder exchange tanks can be attractive targets for thieves, who resell them or repurpose them. The most common way to secure propane exchange tanks has been in a cage. However, thieves can cut the lock and even the cage. To combat this, Lock America’s POLock secures individual tanks with a single tubular key registered to the business. Lock America can even key a Lock America cage lock to the same code as the cylinder lock. When propane retailers deliver a tank to a customer, they remove the lock and recycle it for their ongoing inventory. Retailers can protect their investment by locking each tank with a secure Lock America POLock, pick-resistant and keyed alike to their business, the company says. Then retailers can lock the cage with a keyed alike padlock with a boron steel alloy shackle.
