Is there any way of placing a lock of some sort on the securing latch to prohibit people from just unlatching it quickly and stealing it?

A locking tailgate would stop someone from unlatching the cover. If you have a fifth wheel tailgate, you could probably drill a hole through the latch mechanism when it is in the latched position so that you could put a bolt or lock through it but that would weaken the mechanism . I may be wrong but I don't think thieves would be real interested in the top itself anyway. It is bulky and would not bring much on the used market.

I had a similar one on my 2002 Silverado for almost 10 years until it broke last year. No one ever messed with it. Keeps stuff out of sight, out of mind. I installed a different tailgate latch that included a lock as well.

When the top is in place, one can lock the tailgate and the securing latches are not available to unlock. That makes it secure.

I think that would work. The metal part of the laptop where the lock connects is usually reinforced, so its fairly strong. I am sure it can eventually be pulled out with some work, but that would also damage the side of the laptop where the lock was connected. I think that if someone was string enough to quickly snap the lock out of the laptop, then they would be string enough to successfully threaten you into disconnecting the lock and giving them the laptop (unless you happen to be built like that as well).

Yes, a small padlock of sorts, but this would only keep small children, etc. from lifting lid. If someone wanted contents, just lift box, and go with it.

Because it is a security system, the lock is intended to resist tampering. That includes trying it out, just to see. No substitute for having the parts in your hands.

Well, there's a little pin thing (included with the unit) you can stick in a hole in a tab at the bottom of the door that will keep it from (a) swinging open unless you remove the pin, (b) confound a dumb cat or dog that likes to pull at doors, (c) slow down a child intent on opening the door. We have no reason to use it so haven't tried it. I think you probably could use a small padlock stuck through the tab to better lock the door. In other words, there is a mechanism provided, and a clever owner probably improvise a better locking device using their design features.

Not on THIS particular one. I have another at my other home which I have a review on. That one has no lock either. "I" think it is not a good idea for locks in case you have to get back up quickly.

Im guessing you mean lockable? And you could put a lock on i,but thats not really going to do much, theyll just cut into the fabric if they really want it that bad. If thats what you mean sorry if I couldnt answer your question.

I looked mine over and found no way to lock it. I do not believe that it can be locked.

No, there is none. It is a great product to me. You would have to improvise your own secure lock such as a screw with a weird screw driver that anyone would have difficulty finding...

Not really, as long as you lock it. you can latch it closed and then there is a switch to actually lock it.

Irrespective of any security measures a motivated thief will find a way. Anyone who wants to use a crow bar must be desperate as the reward is not worth the trouble. I did get a response from the manufacturer on the question of security and their lock sets. They did say the lock set is the same for all units of this type but the combinations are in the thousands ,however it appears there is a probability that several customers could have the same key and combination. So the keys are not universal but not totally secure.

technically no, but on one latch there is a loop where you could put a small pad lock

The lock is pretty sturdy, like anything else if someone wants into it bad enough, you aren't going to keep them out, but it would take more than just a screw driver.

Not in a convenient way, I guess you can unscrew the front screws to do that, but there is no quick latch for this, like in the rear..

put it inside the fence, use padlocks in addition to / instead of the bolts, use security nuts & bolts (require special tools - normal hex won't fit), tack weld the nuts to the bolts (makes it tough for you to remove them too, though), add a security camera (even a decoy camera might discourage a petty thief)

You could put a cable through the slot at the end of the device. The slot is about 1/8" by 5/16". A cable might prevent a casual grab of the device, but the slot is just a hole in the thin end of the plastic housing, presumably for carrying it on a keychain or the like. A determined thief could break through the plastic around the hole without much effort. It would have to be a dumb thief, though, since the device isn't much good for anything without the software it is meant to protect.

There are two small locking holes for a pad lock next to each latch. You could also put a cable through the handle.
