What do you use to lock the rear hatch and where did you get them?

I used the Galley Lid Draw-type Latches from Grant. They work great!

I've been round and round on this and finally decided on some nice locking stainless steel draw latches that I picked up from McMaster-Carr.

I bought marine anti-rattle draw latches from Jamestown Distributers. These will accept a padlock or a clevis pin for extra security...I was a bit concerned about the hatch popping open during transit. Lot's of options out there.

I used the hood latches off of a jeep. Look good and hide away at the bottom of the hatch. Jim G
