Default Rock Hard Jerry Can Holder Lockable?

I have been scouring the internets for photos of the rock hard jerry can holders and I can't tell if they're lockable or not. I want to mount the drivers side mount on my XHD rear bumper. Also I'm trying to determine what brand fuel can will fit the mount the best. If anyone has any input I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Even if you can, what would stop someone from just siphoning the gas out of them?

In their photo ads, I've never noticed the locking clip. Try google for lockable gas can / Jerry can. I know someone out there makes a metal tie-down with a padlock clip for jerry cans and ammo cans.

You're right it wouldn't stop someone from siphoining the gas but it would keep them from walking off with the can. Siphoning takes time, unhooking a fuel can and walking away with it takes less time. If I had to decide I would rather just lose $20 worth of fuel than $20 in fuel + $50-70 in fuel can cost.

The rockhard mounts can be fitted onto the XHD tire carrier? I could save a ton of $$$ if I could go that route.

Got ya. How about a cable lock through the handle. I've seen one that uses your ignition key. Quadratec I think has them.

I did the install on this last night. It took me 15 minutes and most of that was cutting the bubble wrap off of the unit. I think it looks great on the back and now I can feel a little better about driving through some of the areas that I go to where gas stations are few and far between.

Here are the photos that I couldn't find when I was contemplating purchasing this unit. If I had seen these earlier they would have answered many of my questions. So without further ado.
