For those who aren't aware, most rope locks have two 5/16" holes to accept a long-hasp padlock to render the rope lock inoperable.


The Rolls-Royce of counterweight systems, Tiffin Scenic Studios, offers rope locks with each having a keyed cylinder.

I would go with Footer, avkid, and cdub260 (and the other folks who posted as well) combined on this one.

Lock out the stage until your rigging can be inspected and repaired. And have ALL your rigging inspected at the same time. The same thing could just be waiting to happen on another line set.
