Ok, so I went out and bought 40 dollars worth of pad locks for my new toyhauler, and when I went to clip them on I noticed that my latches were all attached with what appears to be self tapping screws. I find it really hard to believe that this is how this trailer came... can some of you send me some pictures of your latching system so that I may find the best way to remedy this problem... I would think that getting interior fasteners would be the best, but I cant see the hardware on the inside of the door so I wouldn't have a way of attaching it.

ideas? pics?

I had same problem, I just run bolts thru the ramp door . Works great.

i would actually use a secondary latch system bolted through ( or better yet welded to) the angle iron of the gate and the box iron of the jamb. you can still use a lock on the latch/lever and have the added the security of the secondary (heavy duty) latch just beneath or above it. that will also show that you are serious about security to any would be thieves.
