I got three kinds of latches. All are adjustable, two are really tiny, the middle two are rated at 200lbs clamping force each, and will hold down the main lid. I will mount these on the inside of the main box and I will be able to access them only when the tailgate is down, but I don't need to lock them then, and it makes the exterior look a little cleaner too.

The big ones are really beefy and they will hold down the lid to the front box. I had to get a beefy one to get a pad lock eye. They are really nice and well made.

I can get part numbers if anyone needs them.
