Was in the garage looking for a way to lock the top of the trailer.

This one will not work because the two top screws will only be in thin sheet metal.

backing plate and use nuts with blind-head bolts.

Or weld it.

what about a cylinder lock set up. is the lip on the door/hatch big enough to support it. but the simplest way is what you have and ike @obwahn mentioned to put a plate behind it.

I hope you take those rags off it when you use it, or else keep a combustion suppression device handy!
That was right after the electrician put that 220 outlet in and I was still moving in. No rags anywhere near it now.

You can be hot with ram induction but it's understood
He's got a fuel injected engine sitting under his hood.
yeah yeah....just ask yourself, how many 'vettes did you see on drag strips during the 60s? Wedges and hemis handed GM and Ford their asses all day every day. Injected 327 'vette vs 413 Super Stock Dart? Nolo contendre.

BTW....what you can do with a junkyard 392 in a rusted-out 57 Plymouth is kind of astonishing, until the axle breaks.

I am now thinking to just replace them with locking equivalents instead of drilling new holes and whatever. But that would mean using 4 locks instead of one.

For now I will use the locking tongue box for anything valuable and leave the bed to chance. :dunno:

I never saw anything in the 60s. I missed the 60s by a few months.

I just like that song.
