Cue case security

[Steve180]

Hi

I have just bought a Powerglide aluminium case, unfortunately it does not lock. Has anyone got any suggestions for DIY locking please? I thought about a piece of thin chain wrapped around and secured with a padlock underneath the handle part but that seems a bit messy and OTT.

Cheers

I don't personally feel the need to have a lock on the case anyway, where do you intend on leaving it? If you do though I think that's the easiest idea :snooker:

It's left at the club, and just to stop someone 'having a try' when they think nobody is around. I'm not paranoid it has happened. How do I know? My cue had blue chalk on it when I took it out the case, I only use green.......

I never leave my cue(s) at the club, always take them home to fiddle about with them. Those that do tho, we have special skinny lockers, or leave them under the bar out of site

i have 4 of similar to

on my case, 2 each end across the opening and padlocks through them, works quite well.

I always think why do people wanna lock the Case as if somebody wants they will take the whole lot!!...lol

I would never leave my Cue/Case at any Club and always take them home, As seen so many Cues/Cases gone missing in past its unreal.


Gaz.

Thanks for the input, as I said I just want to protect others from using the cue when it is left at the club.

Those brackets look a good option actually.

the locks on cases are all a waste of time anyway. you can open any of them with anything.

the other thing with the brackets on it, is your case is easily recognisable, the staff in the club know mines the one with the padlocks on
