John, Jansen has a padlock U-shaped fallboard clamp. They may also have some advice on a more aesthetically pleasing lock and chain configuration. What about the standard mortice lock bar & fallboard lock. Not knowing your situation it seems that 50-60 keys is a bunch more than what it should take to do the job. Does everyone have a key? Do they all get a free issue, or is there a fee for replacement? Ah, the little joys of CAUT life... Joel PS; Jansen boys may have some solution for your caster/leg problem too.
