    What have you guys been using (padlocks) to secure and lock your ROAM case that will stand the test of time in all weather long term? I have a 95L and rugged mounts to install.

    Nothing fancy MasterLock’s. Give them an occasional squirt of lub. You can get sets so they are all keyed alike.

    That is exactly what I have in mind. Just need to find the correct size padlock. If I can find all black locks is a plus. Thank You. A trip to HDepot is imminent.

    I’m not sure about the size requirements for your application, but I would go for something made for the maritime use, like a brass ABUS lock.

    If you like , abloy locks are great but expensive. It’s almost impossible to pick. They would likely cut open the case than try to pick the lock

    I will check into Abloy locks. Sounds good quality. As long as the locks do not rust as I will try to keep lubing as much as I can, I think it is good money spent. Thanks for your input.

    Wow! Those Abloy Locks are truly expensive for a lock. This is what you call, "You Get What You Pay For."
