Worried about your propane tanks disappearing when you’re not around? The Bauer Products Lockable Dual Propane Tank Hasps offer an elegantly simple solution to keep your tanks secure. Made of zinc-plated steel, these hasps are resistant to corrosion, ensuring lasting protection in all weather conditions. Position the lower hasp on the crossbar, tighten with the wingnut, and lock with a padlock (padlock sold separately) for peace of mind on your RV or trailer.
Facing constant exposure to the elements can wear down even the best equipment. Fortunately, Bauer Products designed these hasps with a zinc-plated steel construction, providing excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. This means you can rely on them to stand the test of time, securing your propane tanks trip after trip, through rain or shine.
When it comes to different propane tank configurations, adaptability is key. These hasps cater to the common dual 20 lb, 30 lb, and 40 lb tank setups, making them a versatile choice whether you're upgrading your trailer or RV. Simply mount them to the threaded rod on your propane tank holder and travel with confidence.
Who wants to fuss with complicated systems in the middle of a road trip? The intuitive design of these lockable hasps means you can install them quickly and easily. Just place the lower hasp on the crossbar, position the upper hasp over the wing nut, and secure with a padlock. No special tools or skills required—just a simple setup to keep your gear safe.
Trying to figure out where to place your LP regulators? These lockable hasps come with integrated mounting holes on the bottom hasp, providing a handy and efficient place for your LP regulators. Keep your setup neat and tidy while ensuring everything is securely in place.

What's up everybody. It's AJ, with etrailer.com. Today we are checking out this locking bracket and padlock kit for your twin propane setup on your rig. You can see that I've installed it already and it's going to keep people from messing with the wing nut on top. I can't get it loosened, that way I can't take this off and that way I can't mess with these propane tanks. Let's check it out.
Taking a closer look at it, it's a zinc plated steel for both of these brackets, so you know they're going to hold up when you leave them outside. And I know this side's not all the way down there, but you don't have to worry about that.You really only need the padlock one side, so yeah, you can kind of pull that side out, but it's not coming out of there because this side has got the padlock through it, keeping it from popping out. After thinking about it, let's put it to the test actually. I'm just curious to see how it does work. What happens if I do pry this up and get this one in that looks like I can pop it out Will I be able to undo thisOkay, so I've popped that out, but the side with the padlock is still holding that bracket in there.
I can't maneuver enough to turn the wing nut still. So, the one padlock system sure does work. This is the other propane setup we tried earlier to get it to work with. And I think it will work, but I just want to point out some things that might get in your way. When we removed our handle nut here, the bracket didn't sit on here correctly with the other bracket because of this bracket right here.
It came in contact and you couldn't get one side fully in or a padlock and you wouldn't be able to tie it down. What we did, was we remove these screws and attach the regulator to the new brackets, the lock, but then this was in the way, so I go to tighten this back down and it kept coming in contact like that. And you couldn't get it fully tightened down.We thought maybe with a couple of washers in there, that would take some of the space out, but really, I think you'd just have to get another bracket for your regulator, which we have here on etrailer.com, so I would look into that if your setup is similar to this and your wing nut is as widespread as this. Now we saw how well that actually works. Let's see how to get it installed.
First off, every propane set up is not going to be the same. Yours might be slightly different. I would be mindful of where your regulator is. It does have points here to remount your regulator if it is in the way. There was another one we tried it on, the regulator was in the way, so I just unscrewed it. You can see the screws in the bracket here. You can attach it there and it'll be out of the way, but this one's actually down underneath, I don't think it's going to be a problem. Let's just take the wing nut off and give it a shot.Put our bracket on. This one doesn't have a whole lot for it to screw down on, but that's okay. That means it will be nice and tight, you won't hear it rattling around. Give it a couple turns until the bracket stops moving. It's pretty sturdy already right there. Now we just put our clamp through it and then we'll put our padlock through. Now, you can't take that bracket off and you can't loosen the wing nut at all, so nobody can mess with your propane tanks. It really is that easy to install. It's not going to take you that long and again, everybody's propane setup's a little bit different, but there's enough options here to kind of modify your setup and get it to work. I like that it's got it nice and tight. It's locked, but I mean, nothing's perfect. I think it just keeps people honest. They see the lock, they're going to go to the next one that doesn't have a lock and they're not even going to mess with yours.You can get these and with a silver padlock or the black padlock like we have here, or there's also one that just, you get the brackets. If you have another padlock you want to use, you don't need an extra one, you can buy just the bracket and use that set up. I will say, though, if you get one of the ones with the padlock, it is keyed alike to other Bauer's products. If you have some door lashes along the basement doors of your rig, that could be keyed alike to the padlock that just saves on having 25 keys on your key ring, when you can just have these two and it unlocks everything on your rig. That pretty much does it for this lock bracket for your propane tanks. Thanks for hanging out. I hope this helped..
String hardware and Very well made. This part did not fit or was adaptable our RV propane tanks. Well, I decided to go to our RV travel trailer today and show how the hasp doesn't appear to fit properly. I attached a picture to show that there is not enough space for the lock shackle due to the size of the propane tank crossbar. I also tried to flip the hasp and the part just doesn't seem to fit or able to properly secure the tanks.
I also attach a picture of a simple solution which requires only couple of holes drilled to the size of the lock shackle.
It did not work on my tank mounting system. The bracket for the regulator and the height of the arms that hold the tanks down both got in the way.
Determined to make it work, I went back a week later and rearranged the regulator mount into a position that was far less convenient (I have to bend the regulator away from the wing nut in order to turn it). And yet, I could not get the lock shackle through the hasp.
Advice: Before you order, get the dimensions of this thing, and look very carefully at your tank mounting parts. For now, I'll have to use a cable-type bicycle lock.

Let me get a diagram made up for you and added to our site so that this information is available moving forward.
This is a great little product! I feel much better knowing that my tanks are a lot more protected from easy theft. Easy installation. Great price, and great service!

Ive had this propane tank lockable hasp for a year now. It has held up really well. It secures my tanks very nicely, yet its easy to remove, once I unlock and remove the padlock. I really believe that this is a must have for anyone wanting to secure their propane tanks! Thank you for a great product!

Just what I expected and needed. Arrived in a timely manner.
Simple device that offers some peace of mind with our tank security.
I attached my dual tank switchover to the bracket from lock kit and with a smaller padlock all fits and is secure. Video said this method might not work but it did for me
Simple and it works!
Needs to have more room for a better lock shank to be used but the idea is great.
Very happy with this purchase. Extremely easy to install on my dual 30lb propane tanks. Seems to be good quality metal. I realize this will not "prevent" theft of my tanks, but will likely prompt potential thieves too look elsewhere.
As always, a pleasure to do business with etrailer. My order arrived in just a few days.

Still very happy with this purchase. The lock works well, and looks just like it did the day I first installed it.
The delivery was faster than expected!
This is a simple, efficient way to secure the two propane tanks on my camp trailer. It’s sturdy and strong and should hold up well to any weather over the months.

We’ve been using our lockable hasp for a year now and love them. They didn’t rust over the winter or in rain. At the price of propane, it’s good to know we can go for a hike or fishing and no one can easily steal a tank or two.
Great quality product. Just needs some modifications to be a great product and fit around brackets and propane tank holding bar.
Product works great. I will say it doesn’t make it impossible to keep them thief’s from getting my propane tanks. It just makes it harder. If the want them they are going to work for them.
Also I would like to thank etrailers for their quick responses to the shipping issue I had. The envelope the product was shipped in was ripped and the hasp was missing and etrailers shipped a new one right away. Thank you.
Locking mechanism did not fit propane wing nut. I was unable to use it.

It looks like in order for this to fit your wing nut, the wing nut has to be two inches wide or smaller.
This lockdown is working. I am holding down two tanks in the front of my trailer and required the spanner not wings to be bent up quite a ways to clear the pressure regulator for the propane tanks. A hammer and advice for required. The whole object was to prevent my propane tanks from being stolen
As always, got what I ordered in a timely manner. Love my front hitch rack for carrying bikes and more as we RV around the country.
Next purchase is some stabilizer pads.
Works great. After doing research, it is just what I feel I need

I did not have a very secure method of locking my tanks. I feel much better using this with a much larger hardened padlock
Incredibly fast shipping. The propane tank lock worked beautifully. No one is getting our propane tanks now. Will definitely buy from Etrailer way more times. Great job
Easy to use/install. I like the security of having tanks locked in. Good quality.
It fits very secure and I really like that it has the mounting holes on the bracket to mount the regulator on! Thanks. Highly recommend.
The top plate tangs are too short due to the wing nut under it. No way to get a lock to work. Planing to send it back

Thank you for your review. Your wing nut will have to measure thin with a quarter inch diameter hole in order to fit under the top plate. We have one on our site that is 6.5 inches long: Item # 37207-30535. You will still need a threaded rod like: Item # 37207-30525. If you do not want to piece the parts together, we have a propane tank holder kit: Item # 37230WH. Your padlock will need to be pretty thin in order to fit. We have a lock that will go with the kit in black Item # BA62VR or chrome Item # BA72VR.
Simple concept to deter theft of your tanks. Nothing is foolproof, but it'll definitely slow down the effort. May need some modification, as there are many different configurations, but fairly easy to do and set up for your application. Would recommend.
Best bang for the buck! Less is always more in my book. Easy on easy off. Just a shame we have to go to such measures to prevent theft but this little guy does the trick of securing my propane tanks. I LOVE etrailer... these guys have everything that I need, super speedy delivery and just downright decent folks. 2 thumbs up!
This didn't work at all on my propane t anks!!

You mentioned that it did not work for you and and I wanted to ask you if you could explain in more detail. Would you be able to send a picture?
Just what I needed. Haven't been able to use it yet since it doesn't quite fit. The nut welded on my handle is too high therefore I can not install this. I will probably grind down the nut just a bit to get this to fit. Other than that, I think it's a fine product and the price is just right.
On the road for 5 Months and the lock bracket does what it's supposed to do; protect the tanks from being stolen.

This clasp lock is meant to fit most applications however it does not fit all. I do have an alternate solution for you with part # 37230WH which is a propane tank holder kit that is lockable. The padlock that is needed will need to be a thin pad lock to fit. We carry the padlocks that will work in part # BA46VR.
