ABSTRACT:
The beverage tap lock of the present invention is intended for use with a beverage tower having multiple taps. In commercial systems on the market, there is a gap (a first distance) between the back of the taps (where there is a faucet-coupling nut behind the handle and faucet of the tap) and the front of the beverage tower. The taps are spaced apart by a second distance, which is normally regular (i.e. a “pitch” between the taps). The tap lock has a back plate having a plurality of indentations towards the back. In order to allow the back plate to fit in the gap between taps and tower, the thickness of the back plate is no more than the first distance and in presently preferred embodiments and best modes now contemplated is in fact less than the first distance.
