Locking Hood Latches?

[B1Toad]

Anyone know of locking hood latches that you don't have to lock all the time? They would work as a normal hood latch and you'd only lock them when you needed to park somewhere you didn't feel comfortable leaving them unlocked. I can't use the center latch ones because I have the grill inserts.

I'm going to try this one, even though I have grill inserts I think I can cut a hole in the grill insert for the lock cylinder. Does anyone know if this one can be left unlocked for normal hood opening when desired? I only want it lockable for certain times. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009W8BJRO/?tag=wranglerorg-20

I have the Tuffy one. You can leave it unlocked.

Side latches or front? I have grill inserts as well and though I would like to remove them, they have been on for a while (installed by PO) and the paint is scratched underneath.

I use a Drake side latch knockoff that can be locked or not..

Let us know how it works - I have grille inserts, like them, but also want a lock.

I got tired of the locks, so I got some push activated pins (like the ones that come with the non-locking version.

Anyway, I can put the locking ones in if I want to.

I never leave anything inside of my Jeep or under the hood that anyone would want to steal. I don't lock either.

My brother-in-law had his battery stolen out from under his hood.
