Securing Bag Locks

The two screws shown below hold the bag locks to the bags. They are known to come loose. They should be removed, coated with blue thread lock and re-installed to prevent them from working loose. The screws are Torx T10 security screws. You can get the appropriate screw driver at Harbor Freights. 

One other issue I was having with one of my bags was squeaking when the outer shell was closed. I was able to determine this was caused by excess plastic in the rectangular holes in the inner shell where the steel plates of the outer shell slide into. I used a box knife to shave off this excess plastic and the squeaking stopped!
