I have found the best lock for me is a "grow your own". I use canvas webbing
and place a rolled up "lump" into the fall board top and the pin block. This
fastens under the key bed. I have also sometimes extended the webbing back
around and over the lid. This keeps people "out" unless they have a knife.
It also means "in an emergency" (read lost the key or combination) access
can be had.
