that is another we have taken a brief look at . We have some ideas for a much simpler door locker using some security hardware. Will probably revisit after the console and MyGig security projects.

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. 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.
