What is a Barrel Lock?

 This is a common question that is frequently asked. In the simplest of terms a barrel lock is a unique type of cylinder shaped locking system that is difficult to defeat or hack. What makes this lock so unique is its shape and its innovative design. For example, it's extremely difficult to break or saw this type of lock as compared to a padlock or other kinds of more conventional locking devices. Another unique aspect of a barrel lock is that it uses a custom type of key known as a meter tool or meter key. This type of key takes advantage of a plunger assembly that allows the actual key component to inject into the center of the cylinder type lock or barrel lock as a way to lock or unlock the device. Truly unique in every respect, the barrel lock and its associated meter key is an excellent way of protecting utilities such as electricity, water or gas from theft or misuse. With so much to offer it is clear to see why the barrel lock is so popular today. Contact Barrel Lock Meter Key today to learn more.
