Default Locking saddlebags ?

I'm running a set of HD bags, the ones that are leather on the outside and have a plastic backing to mount to the fender bolts. I want to put a lock on each and was thinking of using a couple of small 'u-bolts' that I could fit to each bag and the flap and then a padlock to secure. Any other ideas ?

I think saggy bags offers something, there may be others also.

Yeah, saw a couple of different ones one YouTube, still think my idea is easier.
