Glad you found them.
Thats exactly why I went with these. I wanted to go with a barrel lock. As best as I can tell, the internal components seem to be on par with the OEM. So far, no issues.

I like the OE look ones that are textured. Look good!
I've had these since June 2023. One of my first mods. Tweakers steal batteries in my neck of the desert...cats and batteries are the top of the list.
A theft-deterrent for sure, but if there's a loud noise in my driveway, i.e. a crowbar snapping the latch, my dog will alert me to take up arms. Keep the keys on the fob chain.

Thanks for the hot tipā¦just installed them today.
I see the point about the springs being too strong and pushing the catch upā¦.I fixed that by unhooking one side of the spring. Now they function like the OEM latches with just a bit of spring but not too much to keep the hood from closing.
Very happy with these. Thanks for posting this!

I ordered a set of the Rugged Ridge locking latches from Amazon (sold and fulfilled by Amazon). When I opened the box, can you guess what I found? A set of used factory latches. Amazon gave me full credit and told me to pitch the old latches. I ordered another set. Hopefully they will be new ones from Rugged Ridge. Someone can afford to buy a Wrangler or Gladiator, but canāt afford to pay for a $100 upgrade is crazy.
