Securing Methods

Shot glasses

Tubing

Piece of tubing holding key bent over and cut with slits so security tag can prevent removal of the key

<a name="Disks"></a>

Disks

<a href="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure7" class="external text" title="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure7" rel="nofollow"><img src="MortKeySecure7_small.jpg" alt="MortKeySecure7_small.jpg" /></a>

If this tag were tightened, the key between the disks would be unuseable

<a name="Ring"></a>

Ring

<a href="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure8" class="external text" title="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure8" rel="nofollow"><img src="MortKeySecure8_small.jpg" alt="MortKeySecure8_small.jpg" /></a>

Securing a key half way through a ring means it's unusable

Bolt 1

<a href="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure9" class="external text" title="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure9" rel="nofollow"><img src="MortKeySecure9_small.jpg" alt="MortKeySecure9_small.jpg" /></a>

A key secured part way through the end of a door bolt makes it unusable (this tag is a cable tie but needs to be a security tag)

<a name="Bolt_2"></a>

Bolt 2

<a href="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure13" class="external text" title="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure13" rel="nofollow"><img src="MortKeySecure13_small.jpg" alt="MortKeySecure13_small.jpg" /></a>

This was originally part of a bolt, but the security tag keeping the key through the hole means the key isn't useable

<a name="Box"></a>

Box

<a href="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure14" class="external text" title="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure14" rel="nofollow"><img src="MortKeySecure14_small.jpg" alt="MortKeySecure14_small.jpg" /></a>

Two holes drilled in the lid and two in the base of this box, so a security tag can be used to hold it closed (bit too loose in this pic)

Coke Bottle

<a href="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure10" class="external text" title="http://gallery.mortice.org/cgi-bin/img.cgi?id=MortKeySecure10" rel="nofollow"><img src="MortKeySecure10_small.jpg" alt="MortKeySecure10_small.jpg" /></a>
