Location: Watersmeet, Michigan | The locks for the storage bins and rod locker on my Lund are, well, a joke. While I realize nothing will keep out a determined thief, I would like to improve the security level a little if possible. Does anyone know of a good replacememt latch/lock?

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | ALL storage locks for boats will do noting to deter a truly dedicated thief. A good pry bar, and the back end of the lid is torn off even if the lock holds. Just keeps the slightly more honest and less determined out. It's a boat, not a wall safe.
Your best insurance is a boat cover....and good insurance.

You can also purchase locks that are not able to be cut with a bolt cutter.

True, but the stock units require nothing more than a good twist of the handle to pop them open. Will keep looking for options.
Thanks.
