CHOP SHOP Shackle Tags

You can now get your Shackle Tags Customized!

We provide space for 2 lines of text, with 10 characters per line. Select the font you want to use and then enter your two lines of text. Please keep in mind, we will use the exact case you use when you enter it. Some fonts only display in an upper or lower case, so make sure the text looks exactly how you want it before adding it to your cart.

For all you "jokers" out there, this parts for you! If you choose to enter any text that is considered offensive, we'll still print your tags, HOWEVER, we will replace each letter of the offensive word with an asterisk (*). We will not contact you to ask you to change it! We will laser it, replacing the offensive word(s) with ***** and send it to you. There will not be any refunds or exchanges!

Pick love locks, leave your mark.

Every tag on a love lock results in a pound of trash cleaned up.

The Shackle Tags by Covert Instruments present a way for you to practice lockpicking and help contribute to a good cause.  Inscribe the back of your shackle tags with your logo, insignia, or online handles/usernames and get to picking love locks.

Once you’ve picked a love lock, affix one of your signed shackle tags onto the lock and relock it. Check local love lock bridges in your area and see how your skills stack up against others.
