For those who use Torklift fast guns do you also use their locks? No locks? Other type of locks?

Yuppers..... I use them.
and make sure you always โ€œwiggleโ€ them after you โ€œthinkโ€ they are locked.... sometimes they arenโ€™t ....
Pay that much for something that is easy to remove and walk away with..... someone will
However... as my dad used to say.... locks are only for honest people.

We got a set of 4 matched weather resistant SS Masterlock from HomeDepot. #3SSQLF 1 1/2".

The "hammered gray/black" color even matches the Torklift tiedowns exactly and a bit cheaper than Torklift's locks.

Have the Fastguns but no locks. Have thought about it but the camper is so seldom unattended I haven't bothered. Probably I'm too trusting.

I have both the fast guns and the locks and really like them. I have used them on my 2011 Lance and now on my 2018 Northern Lite.

Thanks all. I just ordered a set. They sure aren't cheap for what they are.

I have them and though there are other alternatives I like them. I lost one several years ago and they sent me a free set keyed the same as the others.

I have both the fast guns and locks, they came with the camper when I bought it used. I probably wouldn't of bought them myself because I'm cheap and own a set of Happy jack spring loaded tie downs

No locks, but the camper on truck is seldom left unattended. I offload the camper upon arrival at my destination and the Fastguns come off and are stored in the back seat of the truck.
