I don't know of any locks that's going to stop a thief from stealing that stand. I've had two stands stolen, and they were locked and chained to the tree. The guttless punks used bolt cutters. Now I remove the screw in steps before I leave. And if I'm going to be gone for more than a couple of days the stand goes with me.
