NEVER lock or latch a propane locker! Repeat, NEVER. If the tank
explodes you want the force to blow upwards through the freely opening
hatch. If it is latched or locked, the force will blow downward through
the bottom of your boat. I don't think legal propane lockers even have a
latch. That is probably a code violation.

Jon,
If people used the same due dilligence with their gas engines that you
do with propane this would not be an issue.
I have all the propane equipment you do and still turn off the gas at
the tank when I'm done cooking. My propane locker has a pad lock on
it, /rule on the boat is/; Lock open, gas on, lock closed, gas off.
When I shut down the stove I step outside and shut the valve at the
tank and close the pad lock.
