Nice idea, but...
A month ago, my 2 year old grandson opened one of my taps and spilled about 5 gallons of beer on my laundry room floor. That's when I knew something needed to change. I bought 2 of these (one for each tap) and am very happy with one exception. Because you use a key to lock/unlock, it has to stop perpendicular to the floor (or parallel to the tap lock device depending upon how you look at it). One of my taps locks perfectly while the other stops about 5 degrees before being able to remove the key. Backing off the key to be able to remove it causes the tap to be able to be opened to a fast drip. Not acceptable given my environment. So, I'm forced to jam a small piece of cardboard between the plunger and the tap which solves the problem. Not a big deal but these things are not terribly cheap so I expected a bit more flexibility in the closure aspect.
Does what it's supposed to.
The device does what it's supposed to. Doesn't come with instructions, but after about 15 seconds study (or less), you get it: Slip it over the tap (as indicated in the picture here), and turn the key until the handle cannot be pulled forward (the key is actually used to 'screw' the pressure fitting against the handle). My only caution is don't over-tighten and risk stressing or breaking the assembly.
Wish list: Maybe some sort of collar to keep near when it's not in place. An if it had an actual rubber cap for the tap to prevent air getting in and help keep it clean, that would be sweet.
Works as a deterrent
This easily connects and will be an ok deterrent. But you can wrestle it a bit and get it to dispense. but doing so would put stress on the tap and if not careful could break it. So, like I said, it's an ok deterrent, but not foolproof.
