Adding your own toy lock.

My husband is interested in installing some kind of lock similar to the toy lock for locking up our portable generator. He would like to put it closer to where the power cord reel is. Has anyone added one of these? What kind did you install?

Nancy, you can buy a toy lock made by Reese at Wal Mart.
I just use a heavy duty bike lock cable with padlock.

Peace

Heavy chain and big padlock. Loop chain around rear jack. If it's a Honda generator all it will take to steal it is a hand saw of any kind. Just cut through the plastic handle the chain is looped under and away it goes. There is a steel reinforcement available to help prevent this. I never leave mine out if I'm not around it. Keep it locked in the back of my truck under the cover or in a storage compartment...Don

Having the toy lock bolted on is convenient, but a 15' cable and heft "American" lock (Home Depot - Lowes etc) has more flexibility.
