[CAUT] Fallboard locks

[Elwood Doss]

We use the Jaris Fallboard Lock and really like it.  We have 5 locks and
they are keyed the same which is a huge help with multiple locked
pianos.  You can purchase the keyed-the-same locks with the long shank
from Master Lock.  I wouldn't use anything else.
Joy!

Hi List
    I was wondering what kind of fallboard lock you have. Because
currently
we have the "Hands Off" lock that are only about 3yrs and the locking
mechanism is already broke and they need to be replaced since it doesn't
look like it can be repaired.  Has anyone had good luck with the Jaras
fallboard lock that Schaff sells?  From the picture it appears to have a
regular pad lock that looks like can be replaced if it ever breaks.

Thanks
