Abstract
A lock protection device, system and method that stymies thieves from tampering with a target lock of a cage is disclosed. The lock protection device provides a lock bar extending from a shield box fixed to one side of the cage, through the cage by way of an anchor plate, and through and into a lock shield fixed to another side of the case. A distal end of the lock bar projects into a lock area defined by the lock shield, wherein the target lock occupies the lock area while being collared by the lock shield. The target lock operatively associates with the distal end of the lock bar to prevent tampering and unauthorized removal of the target lock.
