Here's a link to a better puck lock bracket.

I got broken into a year ago in my driveway overnight. They only got a couple of drivers and my Makita 7 1/4 but I had been meaning to add security but didn't get around to it. I live in a pretty good neighborhood.

I have the old style puck brackets and locks I got from Amazon. I added screens too.

If you have a van don't wait like I did.

Why did you go with the traditional bracket rather than the Slicklock bracket?

I dont think it was avail a year ago.

That slicklock site isn't a very good website is it?...

Anybody buying the Master lock brand puck locks at Home Depot or Lowes - stay away from the new gray-painted models with the sliding black plastic lock covers. The covers are useless and the painted lock bodies will start rusting away within a year. In comparison, the older chrome versions that I have are still in great shape 3-4 years later.

Like that lock guard though - that's gonna save my butt in the winter...

Got a couple of these from Reda. Haven't used them yet. Doesn't get too bad down here. You say your locks freeze up in winter ?

Got the original Master puck locks from Amazon. One mechanically froze up in a couple of months. Fortunately it was off the truck. Master lock replaced it nqa. They say keep them lubed up with WD 40.

Mine have been known to freeze up during the winter.
