When I ordered my first MM device LRC demanded it have the security screw with the extra hole for the plastic lock. She was tired of the padlock digging into her and/or having to move it all the time.

Integral lock! No rattle, less bulky, just better. My experience is with the Lori tube with a special locking security screw where the supplier might be bryce fasteners: http://www.brycefastener.com/security-screws.html
Those screws does not open with any other bit than supplied with the device. Period. Perfect for me as any other solution would be easy to compromise.

I love the padlock, as we keep a small jar with keys that fit in that lock, but won't turn the lock. When i get lucky, my keyholder randomly pulls a key and tries it. The anticipation as she puts the key in, is off the charts. Will it turn or will i be locked longer? This makes me excited just thinking about it.

I have an integral lock with my Holy Trainer, but my Wife refuses to wear the key on a chain as it is so clunky. I would prefer a nicer key with an integral lock. I am planning on getting my Wife one of those nice pendants with the key hidden in a tube as soon as I can afford it. I am hoping to buy a new lock for the trainer so I can send the keys away to be modified.
