    Hello!

    We have a kegorator at work that we lock up during the day...

    But every now and then we have nitro kegs and the specific tap doesn't play nice with the lock we have. Curious if any of you have any key lock that works for your standard nitro tap?

    hmmm... they show up in the quote that you replied to. Strange...

    tap lock we currently have for our CO2 kegs. This doesn't work for our nitro faucet we use every few keg rotations.

    Micromatic sells this. SFL-100. and like everything Micromatic, overpriced at $33.75.

    Cheers.

    edit. 1. you can also unscrew the noozle. the beer will still pour but it will be a mess. 2. un tap the keg and lock the kegerator.

    Put a security camera over the kegerator and you won't need any locks.

    Another option depending if it's a nice looking unit or not is put a hasp lock on door and just untap keg and lock door

    Appreciate all the ideas. We usually only have a nitro keg in the rotation every couple of months. Trying not to go completely overboard. Camera idea isn't going to fly with everyone. The idea is to basically to have a deterant to un-authorized staff members (cleaning crew) draining out the keg on the weekends every month. :slight_smile:
