Top Cap - How to lock

[barefooter]

I got one of those fibreglass Top Caps for my 2 place Triton last year. Love it for what I use it for - but I need some ideas on how to lock the thing up?

Because it can open front or back - the 4 corners are held with square lock pins like these one. They go through holes drilled in the outside channel of the trailer and the Top Cap itself. I can't find a lock that is wide enough to go through the holes. It would be easy to put the lock through the three holes and use the lock itself as the pin - but no locks that I have found that are long enough are wide enough as well. What have you seen done on these things?

I thought of just putting in a straight pin and drilling it through for a small lock - but then the lock would be so small it would likely be useless.

I know I am missing something obvious here>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Could you use a pin lock similar to the trailer ball coupler lock.

Here's a tip for you: when you travel, use the linch pins in your photo. Only install locks when you get to destination - road schmutz fouls locks fast.

You only need 2 locks, put them in on opposite corners and you are good to go.

hope this helps,

Thanks Pistonbroke:

Those won't work - have lots of those locks and the shackle isn't wide enough?! I did follow your link at Master Locks and they have ones for commercial fridges taht look like they might.

Thanks
