Let me try and explain: (I appologise for the vaguness)

I have a bracket that is bolted to a table... the item to be secured sits between the bracket and a long 15cm bolt. The long bolt passes through both edges of the bracket which is made from 2mm steel.

Currently I just use a Nylock to prevent fiddling fingers undoing the bolt and pinching the item secured within the bracket...

However, I now want to be able to lock the long bolt inplace so it can ONLY be removed with a key.

Can anyone suggest a way of doing this? Are there any lockable bolt things available?



Need some sort of bar that has little teeth that allow the bolt to clip into place, but cant be pulled back out again unless the key is inserted to release the teeth....

Drill a hole through the thread and a small padlock?

or use one of these?

Does anyone know how this works?





The top part is obviously locked to the bottom part using the hexagon key lock.... But how does it work...where can you get locks like that?

they're called camlocks
