Small security peace of mind!

product. This adds a little security! That's still better than a standard lock that can be freely opened without restrictions. However, it will not prevent theft if they want to steal something under your hook as this lock can easily be picked with a lot of force. keys all the time! * In order to turn the key smoothly, put some oil in the keyhole for lubrication, this also prevents the lock from being besieged in the future.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions.
Cons
  • Appearance.

The lock broke in half during installation

I bought these because someone recently stole the battery from my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon hoping it wouldn't happen again. Very easy to assemble, once the socket wrench slipped but just after closing the bonnet and locking the latches one of them broke completely. I'm not kidding, the screw inside holding the obturator broke in half. The other also feels very flimsy, and that's just for closing the hood, I didn't even try to brute force in. If someone really wants to open the bolt, he can…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Little repairability

Nice hood locks!

Installed these hood latches for my 2019 Jeep JL Wrangler in 10 minutes. They have a clean factory look and are quite well attached. The round key needs to be fully inserted for the lock to engage, so it takes some practice, but it works well. You can even use factory hood latches, but use factory nuts with washers built in, as the new fasteners only use nylon nuts with no washers. ***Updated locks still look and work well but there are better lock options, I think I would go for a lock that…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Functionality

Installation is not easy. Doesn't last forever.

At first the installation was difficult, I have small hands and it was difficult for me to get the nuts but! The product is good, just what I wanted! β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”Update: After about a month of use they don't hold up well, one of the locking pins broke in it and I had to take a pick and scrape out to open the hood, currently I just leave it unlocked so I mean Don't accidentally close the hood forever. Still stuck, nothing was moving and everything works, but it was starting to get stuck trying to…

not very strong but will slow someone down

Compared to the standard Jeep JL hood latches, the plastic is a little softer. It definitely feels strong enough to deter a random person who might pop your hood just for fun, but I have a feeling a good pull with a normal person's force could break the latch mechanism. There are not many reliable locks currently available. Deadbolt branded locks had a device at SEMA 2018, but it's not yet on the market and appears to require a more complicated installation process. There are other all-metal…

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Issues

Sturdy clasps with mismatched or missing parts

The clasps for my 2005 LiveJournal appear to be sturdy, machined aluminum and so far the paint feels solid. However, there are no instructions in the product itself or on their website. It's probably not that much, but there were extra spacers (I think they're superfluous). There were 3 pairs of plastic pads, 1 pair for the fender, 1 pair for the bonnet and who knows the 3rd pair that didn't fit at all. Hard to tell without a guide. There were holes in the wing pads that didn't match with the…
