I can only say what I went thru. I needed 6 latches. I googled marine latch and went from there. I found 3 different cheap ones that I located at some stores near me along with 4 rather expensive that I tracked down 3 of. I ended up going with expensive locking brass and chromed steel locking latches and got them all keyed the same. The cheap ones could easily be opened or broken with a simple screw driver. In fact any of the plastic latches were pretty weak. My two cents

Thank you. That's what I was thinking also. Keeping your gear is more important these days. Used to be, out of sight, out of mind. The best ones are expensive. I plan to put some heavy gauge aluminum where the latch contacts the lid. The aluminum I have is going to be a challenge to cut, it's more like ss. I may need to take it to a shop. If anchored correctly, it may take some doing to break into. I hope!
