clawmaster Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have 2 gumball machines and 2 sticker machines. I want to secure them, whats the best way to do that? I want to avoid chaining them together because it doesn't look very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Are they in the same location? If you do decide at some point to lock them down, I use vinyl coated cable. It's harder to cut and it looks cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjvend Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Use logging chain. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It really depends on your situation. If it's your machine your locking it to, no, don't do that. If someone did that, they will probably lose the machine to the owner of the other equipment. Theft is a product of vending! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Chain them together. You can do it so it isn't noticeable. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Chain your equipment together. No machine is ever truly "un-stealable", so the object is to make it too difficult for a their to bother with. It's far more difficult to try and steal 2 bulky pieces of equipment at once than one. I agree with the cable- you can get something in a neutral color that is pretty much unnoticeable, and you're able to pull it in really tight and lock it with whatever locks you want. If you are really worried about them leaving the business (lets say your units are on wheels or something), then I'd say approach the business owner about securing them to a wall. Bear in mind that that will usually involve YOU hiring a contractor to come in and install your anchor so it's both up to code and secure. I had mine done on the cheap for $40, and it's been well worth it over time. Beyond that though, good insurance is worth more than a good lock. If the setup isn't readily replaceable, make sure it's insured. Whatever you opt to do, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
