Ah, kewl!:

"To secure multiple devices on a rack: All you have to do is install a 
lock at the top of the rack and one at the bottom of the rack. Once that 
is done, you install the metal rod from one lock to the next, then lock 
both locks. This simple device will prevent unauthorized removal of an 
entire rack of equipment."

Definitely a workable alternative, thanks!
