Uhhh.... don't waste your money. These are on my (very) short list of mods I wish I had never made. They DO NOT WORK. They corrode (get dirty) just a little and actually act as a knob to aid in removal. Difficult to attach, bend easily, you can have mine if I can find them (I keep everything
). I have the Tuffy door on my rear storage area and like it a lot but these things SUCK!!! 
I replaced the Tuffy with these:

Not great for security but they would stop a prankster.

I haven't even had the torx nuts on in over 2 years but I do have gorilla locks on my spare. I think the spare is a easy target and also easy to get some quick cash. I would skip the door locks and get some wheel locks on you're new spare.

The half doors are an easy target. No way to lock them and once opened ...... off they go! Granted a determined thief can take anything he wants, I put the silver hinge pin nuts on to deter vandals and slow down a thief if only for a few seconds. Besides, they look good on my silver jk!
(the Tuffies didn't even look good!
)
I've got the Gorilla's on all the way around and THEY are one of the BEST security mods I have made. Can't tell they are even there if you didn't know.

put on one of my old wheels last week to hold me over til i get a matching spare (same size tire) I bought 2 sets of gorilla wheel locks (one outside spline and one inside spline) i like how these just have straight lines spaced differently for the keys to match up. none of the stars and bubbles like were on my factory wheel locks. and they keys are made of steel not aluminum. i feel like i wont strip the lock or snap the key with these
Don't waste your money on these. After about a year I discovered the bottom of one of my tuffy door hinge locks had fallen off! So much for security. I had installed them very carefully according to directions, and they were definitely locked. Also, there were no signs of anything striking or rubbing that hinge while offroading and the remaining part of the lock was not scratched in any way. Apparently the vibration of driving over a period of time must cause them to fall apart. All the others were still locked when I removed them and replaced them with a different product (same as post #3 above). My new system offers a lock for each hinge. The Tuffy system was only for one hinge per door, so someone could have easily removed that door before I noticed the missing part.
