I do plan on buying two small safes and securing them in my truck & the TT.i o hear you on the construction of the door and the unit. Someone wants in, they'll get in. I get that.

Hope is to make it as least easy as possible.

Can't tell ya how many locks I have drilled out for friends that have lost their keys..

My Pod came with a key/keyless door lock. I took the batteries out the first year I winterized, because I was concerned they would go dead and lock me out. I considered a deadbolt, but the door is not solid core. A good pinch bar would open it very quickly. I take my real valuables with me or lock them in the TV. I don't leave valuables like jewelry, cash, firearms in the TT when I'm not with it.

I caught a new Youtuber (to me) I do like to listen to and he did a review on a trailer door lock I thought rather interesting.

He bought (actually given as a present) one of those key/key-less trailer door locks that looked impressive. Ya, so was the price(close to $300). Since my intention is to hit many 'free' spots, concern of security of the door lock has been questioned.

We run for the day, wether on the bikes or the TT, I'd like the trailer to be as secure as I can have it. One thought was adding a deadbolt lock.

Question is: If you have added/changed out, what did you do?
