Howard, I like your approach, although I agree that something like Larry's variation might be a good idea if you keep heavy objects (e.g. gas cans) below the door. I am also concerned with the blind starboard locker, since I keep some 'spensive and critical things in there that could be stolen or dumped in the drink. My Potter has a simple cylinder lock keyed on the top to secure a similar locker, with a flange that rotates under the locker edge. I think I will start looking for something of that sort.

I thought I had the solution for securing the lockers on my M17. However, what I find is that there is very little clearance to secure any hardware on the lid. Any suggestions and/or suppliers. Thanks folks, Joe Seafrog M17 #651

Hi Joe,
When I installed the hasp on our M15 sail lockers, I think I had just enough space to get the nuts on the inside flange of the sail locker lid. I installed them and added some Locktite to the threads so that they wouldn't loosen.
The other part of the assembly was inside the sail locker itself, so there was no clearance problem.
-----------------------------
Another consideration:
I don't know how thick the sail locker lid flange is, but if there isn't enough space on the inside for the nuts, then is the flange where you are mounting the hardware thick enough so that you could tap the hole and put threads into the fiberglass itself?
