I ended up removing the faucet handle screw and pulling off the handle - it won't stop someone, but it then requires a tool so doing this at least stops casual theft or vandalism.W6DTWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296054359177080557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778588138932522536.post-33327787249062835422019-07-31T10:21:33.737-07:002019-07-31T10:21:33.737-07:00Great idea.

Thanks for your hack I'll try the wd40 and hanner first then graduate to the drill.

My TapLock (as they are called in the UK) just suddenly stopped unlocking after about 2 months of use, with neither of the plastic keys working. I had to ask a friend to do it, with the strength and the right drill/torque, but it took 2/3 minutes to drill the hole in the plastic casing, he screwed a small (maybe 6mm) screw into the hole he'd just drilled, presumably to link the 2 layers of metal, added some twist pressure on the plastic, and the whole unit came off. Yay! I'm off to demand a refund on goods not fit for purpose, and find a more robust solution to locking the tap, but wanted to say Thanks for your advice!
