Disclosed herein are specialized brackets for anchoring locking devices such as a glad hand lock and methods thereof. Glad hand locks lock out air brake service lines on tractor trailers preventing undesired movement of the trailer. The glad hand lock is removed when the trailer is to be moved but they frequently are misplaced or inconveniently stored resulting in wasted time and money retrieving the glad hand lock. The brackets herein provide a quick, secure, and protected option for storage of the glad hand locks at convenient locations near loading docks or trailer parking sites. The brackets comprise a back plate and a front plate spaced by a spacer arm which define a lock gap. The front plate has a top end configured for sliding fit into a lock slot of a glad hand lock. A plunger bar on the glad hand lock is deployed activating a storage configuration.
