A locking mechanism for restricting access to a valve, the locking mechanism including a locking body and a retaining plate. The locking body is configured to be placed on a valve to restrict access to the valve. The retaining plate is configured to be selectively secured to the locking body via a lock to secure the locking body to the valve. The retaining plate is fixedly movable relative to the locking body so that the locking mechanism may be adjusted to fit valves of varying sizes.

Adjustable locking mechanism for a valve

A locking mechanism includes a bracket configured for mounting on a wall of a securable box and receiving a lock body to selectively secure a cover to the securable box preventing access to an interior of the box. The mechanism further includes a blade that is movable relative to the bracket between a locked position and an unlocked position to secure or remove the blade and bracket to or from a securable box wall respectively. The blade and bracket can be secured to and removed from the securable box without an operator's hand extending into the interior of the box.
