PROP LOCK 

Prop Lock

Product Code: AP_PropLock Price: Check Latest Aircraft security is more important than ever to owners and operators of general aviation aircraft. And what's really needed now is an effective deterrent to aircraft theft.. Introducing PropLock - the most compact, easy-to-use security device in the aviation industry. A revolutionary new locking device for aircraft called “PropLock.” Its compact, lightweight foul-proof design makes it ideal for private pilots and commercial aircraft operators alike. About the size of a small clock radio (10” X 5” X 2”), PropLock quickly and easily affixes to the propeller of nearly all general aviation aircraft. It clamps onto the propeller base close to the airplane spinner in five to 10 seconds. Any attempt to crank the motor throws the propeller out of balance creating severe vibration and preventing take-off. PropLock operates on a vice grip action. The Z-shaped device locks with a single turn. PropLock transforms into an elongated egg shape as the locking cylinder moves into the upper part of the locking mechanism where it is protected from being drilled out. The inner cell of the closed lock is protected by a “live” rubber lining with a 20 to 30 durometer and is UV resistant. The arms of PropLock are coated with a polyurethane epoxy to prevent scratches to the propeller when being affixed. PropLock is formidable. While the body is made from 6061 aluminum, the latch is made from stainless steel, which is difficult to cut with a cutting torch or hack saw. Yet it is attractive, compact and lightweight -- about 3 lbs -- which makes it easy for pilots to carry. PropLock is powder coated in the Wilson Locking’s signature bright lime green for maximum visibility, although custom colors are available. When applied, PropLock allows pilots the flexibility of moving the aircraft from one hanger to another for maintenance. For those states that require two locks, Wilson Locking Systems recommends PropLock be used with a CuffLock, Wilson’s patented wheel immobilizer. Special orders for all sizes of antique and vintage aircraft are available. The PropLockTM is formidable, yet extremely compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport and attach. It fits all general aviation propellers. With PropLock in place, any attempt to run-up the engine results in severe vibration and prevents take-off. Compact design weighs just three pounds. UV-resistant closed-cell neoprene rubber protects propellers from marring Attaches in just seconds Constructed of laminated 6061 aluminum to prevent cutting Concealed hinge pins made of hardened steel Boomer arm vice-grip action creates a perfect fit for varying propeller sizes.
