Second lock

I was thinking of adding a second lock on the left side of my TourPak lid for security reasons(more difficult to pry it open).Has anybody done that yet?
Any suggestions?Thanks

On the hinge side? If so, I don't see how much that would help. If some one wants to pry it open, I think they'll get it no matter how many locks you install.

No,not on the hinge side.On the same side where the original lock is but positioned to its left.

+1 Just another point to bust off with a pry bar. One lock will do what two will do.

No sir,not on the hinge side,it wouldn't make any sense adding one there.I was thinking of adding another lock on the opposite side of the existing one so that both sides of the top would be locked and therefore harder to pry open.Maybe a stupid idea but might work in my opinion.
