That just keeps the casual thief away. You need four if you want to keep the thieves with serious lock picking skills out. Also, make sure you carry the wrench around with you...in case you ever need to remove (or tighten) the Sidewinder while on the road.
The pair of lock housings that I'd ordered went on the wife's car last night (I mounted them diagonally.) Without the benefit of a 12pt Craftsman box end wrench. I remembered that I had a pair of adjustable 6pt wrenches. I was able to mount the lock housings with minimal trouble. I still need to get that wrench, though.
