Default Door hing locks?

Has anyone purchased them? I'm considering to do so, but have to ? why since the hinge screws are exposed as well. Didn't see a company that offers both, or even for the hood hinge setup. Are the door hinge screws that hard to get off?

I only asked this, since I had my passages door stolen from my K5 Blazer in 20 below temp not wind chill. Thieves left all the bolts n hinges neatly laid out on the floor. Smashed window on driver's side to enter. I know not a Jeep but it was a hell of a 4wheeler. Want to avoid a repeat!

I pulled my bolts the first time I took the doors off and never put them back.

Keep your doors locked. If they want it bad enough they will get it regardless of what you do.

I bought the McGard ones

Mcgard 76060 - McGard High Security Door Hinge Locks for 07-15 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

but only run them w/ my half doors. Sure someone could come along w/ a torx bit and just unscrew the hinges but it's better than nothing.

I liked them better than the Tuffy ones as they were a lot smaller, you don't even notice them.

Thieves made off with my doors by unbolting the torx directly off the door.

There was a post on here last week about a guy how had locks on his doors yet they were stolen in the middle of the night. The tool/key to get the security locks off is generic and easy to get on eBay or from the manufacturer. Point is that no matter what you try, someone can get them off If they want them bad enough
