Adding Tamper Detection To An Integrated Lock


Integrated Locks

Many chastity devices today feature an integrated lock. In our opinion, an integrated lock, such as shown here, is more secure than a security screw or a small padlock. Nevertheless, some people wish to make the locking method even more secure. This can be done by adding a metal tamper detection security tag. To use such a tag, you may have to make a small change to your lock and perhaps also to your chastity device. In this write-up, we will show you which tag to use, and what modifications you would need to make. These changes are not difficult to make, if you have the necessary tools and are handy with them.

The Seal

We recommend using the seal item #6 from this web site as shown on the left. Just Scroll down the page, and select Code: MS-C1.5-12G. These seals are much more secure than plastic seals, and they will fit in the keyway of an integrated lock. Also note that, unlike plastic seals, the serial numbers will not fade over time, and are guaranteed to be unique. Note that these seals are "use once" and must be destroyed to remove.

Step 1: Modification To Your Integrated Lock

There are two styles of integrated locks typically supplied with devices today. Note that the one on the right has a hole in the end of the lock, while the one on the left does not. If you have a lock like the one on the left, you will need to drill a hole into the end of the lock. A hole diameter of 1/8" will work, just be careful not to drill the hole any deeper than necessary. The hole should be drilled close to the center, but the exact location is not critical.

Step 2: Modification To Your Device

If your device is such that the opening in the Integrated lock can be accessed from the non-keyhole side, then your device is ready to go. Below are three devices, from left to right, they are the Looker2, the Impaler, and the Mouse Trap. Both the Looker2 and the Mouse Trap, already provided access to the keyway, but we drilled a small hole in the Impaler as shown.



Step 3: Install the security seal

The image below shows a seal applied to a Mouse Trap device. Notice that the seal's wire is passed all the way through the lock's keyhole and then inserted into the seal. This prevents the key from being used to open the lock. Note that some locks resist the insertion of the wire. It typically helps to twist the wire while inserting.

To remove the seal, so the key can be used, simply cut the wire and pull it out of the keyhole. Note the wire is much more difficult to cut than you would expect. Using a pair of tin snips or a heavy duty wire cutter is recommended.
