Anyone recommend a TRV that the owner can "lock"

Nothing complicated or expensive ideally. He has students and wants to be able to change setting on TRV now and then but then stop it being tampered with. Thanks

I think Drayton do a tamper proof version, which you set then the cover just turns but doesn't alter the settings

I thought that's what lockshield valves where for,

What's the problem with people adjusting them, if there too hot in the room

I tend not to question to emotional motives of customers, tyrannical as they may often be.

...But I imagine they won't find themselves too hot very often.

Tamperproof Cover for TRVs (pack of 6)

 

[WaterTight]

Yeah I saw those. I reckon he'll think they're too expensive. I'll probably suggest normal TRV's and tell him to use tamper proof tape on it or something.

I don't have much heating knowledge - I just change the odd rad/valve. Am I right in thinking changing it to a lockshield is pointless because even if set low it will still eventually get to maximum heat but just more slowly? Or will the reduced circulation keep it cooler if it's low enough? I know this is super-elementary but it's not my bag baby.

Anyone? Dust?
