A friend of mine just used a set of these on a hot rod that he and his father are building. These would be great for mounting and holding the back of the trunk lid to the hinges, and would be alot safer than the patio door or wooden gate latches that most people use

They are called Mini bear latches

at $40 for a pair, and to add safety, that is a great price.
