Locking Lazarettes/Compartments

Scratch my previous recommendation. I'm getting ready to install one today and found that I could 'jimmy' the latch open with my hands while locked. Only one exhibited this flaw, but it brings into question QC. They really look to be nice locks, but if there's enough wiggle room to get the thing open while locked, then it's worthless.
 
With the huge cockpit storage area on Oh Well 2010 R27 OB, I also wanted to secure the 3 hatches. Ranger support indicated the manufacturer of the latches was Gen Lux and the part number 1264-2-2". Ordered 3 cost of about $50 per latch. Installation was not hard. Suggest you go to Gem Lux website to confirm or ask Ranger support to confirm latch for your boat. I asked all to be keyed the same so now have 6 keys to potentially lose. Ha!!

Hope this helps,

Does anyone happen to know whether the GemLux locking latches https://www.gemlux.com/1264-L-2 would work on a C30 (2019)? Looks like they should but would be nice to confirm.

BTW the price listed on their site appears erroneous. It says $15 but when put into the shopping cart, it becomes $50 (which is more reasonable).
