Just curious what people use to lock their ramps. Right now we just have traditional masterlock locks but those seem easy to cut/break.I was considering either one of these types and would appreciate any input/thoughts.1) http://www.amazon.com/Blaylock-DL-80-Cargo-Trailer-Door/dp/B00HL5AHDM/ref=sr_1_6?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1403638575&sr=1-6or2)http://www.amazon.com/Trimax-THP3XL-Internal-Shackle-Trailer/dp/B002IV4ZW8/ref=pd_sim_auto_8?ie=UTF8&refRID=03G87EMPS8168F6DS1WHThe second one is cheaper but there seems to be rust issues.Do you have any other suggestions.Thank you.

The hasp and lock are pretty soft metal so it wouldn't take much to cut through them. A high dollar lock just means they'll cut the hasp rather than the padlock. I just use a cheap Masterlock and don't worry about it.A lock is only as good as the surrounding material. If the surrounding material is easier than the lock that's what they'll go through.

I have the Master Lock "hockey puck" style... have had them on my toyhauler since oct 2006 and have not had ONE issue with them rusting, sticking etc. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

All locks are good but, any yahoo can cut the hasp off faster then the lock it self with a cordless saw. So you can slow them down a little with a lock on the inside of your rig. Also a battery motion alarm on the inside.

I keep a pair of bolt cutters in my truck and a few spare locks with a chain.

I just use normal Master locks on mine. As much as I hate to say it the only thing any lock does is keep the honest people honest. Is someone realy wants your stuff they WILL get it.
