Installed over the weekend. Well constructed, does a great job.
FWIW - when I installed mine, I started with a 7/16" bit and held to the top of the hole in the handle of the can. I then went in and opened up to 1/2". Made for perfect clearance when closing latch over pin.
I sent you two didn't I?I got one into my 40mm can. Works great. Just need a new but so I can do the other side....

OK, so we know that 5 received theirs.
Did everyone else?
OK, Snora. Let me know if you don't get them today. I've got the tracking number on the receipt somewhere in all this neat pile on my desk.Haven't seen any yet; Hoping it didn't get damaged in shipping.

Best thing you can do is either pre drill it will a smaller drill or take it nice and easy.
If you force it, it will grab the sheetmetal when it breaks through.
I was pre drilling, but it was my smaller bit that broke when the box shifted After I got it opened up I just ground out a little at a time to get the first one to the right size.
Maybe I should just get a mill and be done with it
Thanks snora. Good review and great pics.I'll bump this up with an update of my successful install.
The install couldn't have been easier. I'm actually surprised that it was so easy to drill through the seam on this box from Cabela's.
The threads were clean, very nice hardware.
It looks like the rubber washer will hold up well.
When comparing this to a few other similar locks I like that this installs from the rear, is threaded for a tight fit, and has a smooth rear- sort of a mix of the best features from the others I've seen from online stores. Fits the Masterlock 130 / 131 series locks perfectly. Overall a cool product and a big thanks to Buggin for offering these up for us!
OK, I'll assume everyone got theirs. Thanks to all that installed and reviewed them.
I'll be putting them up for sale sometime this week. I want to get to the PO to set up an account to
get the shipping down.
The price is 8.00 for green members and 10.00 for non.
Shipping to be determined.
Thanks again everyone!
Any volume discounts? I've got like 12 cans I wouldn't mind sticking this thing on. Obviously could grow to more.
Thanks!

Apologies. I got mine in a timely manner. Great looking product. I immediately installed them on two 50 cal cans, put some stuff in them, and buried them near the back door. That was about a month ago. I just unearthed them today. No water damage inside. Great product, and thank you for the opportunity to try them.
