Joey Joe Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Got my camera stolen and need to make the fold up hatch in the back of my GL wagon locking. I am speaking of the folding up droor right on the trunk bed of the Wagons. I was thinking of putting an eye bolt up through the folding droor and then using a gym locker. Has anyone done this if so any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrounge Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm not sure what you're thinking of here, you mean drill a hole through the trunk pan for the eye bolt, run it through a hole drilled in the lid and put a padlock on it? I'm not a big fan of drilling holes in trunk pans, it's a good place for water (and rust) to seep in. You could buy a hasp from the hardware store (the kind you would use on a shed door, cabinet, etc.) and install that on the lid. It's not pretty but it will just be a lump under the carpet when you're done. If you really want to secure the lid to the trunk pan, and want something slick, you could probably adapt a locking hood pin to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
