RileyWhat are your favorite locks for Pelican cases?
I need four keyed alike medium length shackle locks. I just have the short ones, but they’re not big enough, and I don’t want the really long ones as they get in the way.
Hopefully, something better than off the shelf Master Locks. Non-TSA compliant.
For flying and locking to a heavy cable in the car for travel.
Pelican 1510 1615, 1200 size cases.

trapper189I used to like the Sesamee K436 until I saw a video from the Lock Picking Lawyer. I strongly suspect TSA picked my locks and opened my rifle case.

flesheatingvirusIf you really want a good one, go Abloy. They are not cheap, and you can tell just by holding one. I've used them on explosives storage cabinets and magazines for a long time.

reflex/deflex 64I bought a set of American 1 1/2” aluminum bodied lock for this purpose. I’m for shit at linking but they are available on Amazon $140/4 matched. I appreciate the light weight, and for the purpose are plenty strong.
