idun Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Ours were not lockable and we used padlocks with them and that worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sid Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 ... or the straight "crochet" with the bracket with a row of holes... like this http://tinyurl.com/3bmfa8c (I've showen the first one I came to, and it's aluminium, but they do steel ones too which are more common and cheaper).

idun Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 We put them on too Sid, but you cannot lock them, hence we had two lots of fasteners on our shutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have separate locking devices besides the "crochets", not that any of this is much use on a wooden shutter against a really determined burglar.
