Aloha Wangyal,

To lock our map cases, we use a length of angle iron (the height of the
stacked map cases), L-brackets, short lengths of steel pipe, along with
a padlock.

We had our campus facilities people make the parts in their shop and
install for us. You can see photos of this setup in WAML Information
Bulletin, v.27, no.1, November 1995. If anyone is interested and can't
get a copy of that issue, let me know.

All the best,
Ross
