Bin lock upgrade?

We have a 2017 ACE.

Does anyone have experience with upgrading the exterior storage bin locks? Seems the keys are pretty common and the hardware itself with simple quarter turn pretty weak. Let me know. Thank you all.

Cheap and easy and hands free.
It took me about a minute to program two master cards.

I tried these but the bin doors were too thick and if they did fit, they were all but impossible to read.
Very nicely made, I gave it away instead of return it.

I don't think I've ever read on any forum about someone breaking into, as in crowbar, any bin.
I'm sure the stories are there.

We here/read stories of things being taken from bins.
I figure two thirds of those story tellers forgot their slinky at the last stop and blaming is gaming....

My mods are for easy one-handed no key acess, not added security, but they do add security.
