The side latches should be snug enough so there is no bounce of the trailer shell when underway. Whether a latch opens or not during travel should not be a criterion for it being tight enough. I have always used lock pins or small padlocks on all my latches. It keeps the curious from messing with them and I don't have to worry about an open latch. I currently use a set of four keyed-alike locks with plastic covers to prevent scratching.
