This is close to what I prefer.  What I prefer is no longer legal and 
I'm not encouraging anyone to do it!.  Don't modify commercial equipment!

Without the latch I'd find them acceptable as they'd open with thumb 
pressure and a bit deeper to reduce the possibility of inadvertent 
opening.  My hands are small and latches on all of the hooks I've used  
are a real PITA.  These may be different.  I'd certainly purchase a set 
to try.  (I'm not above spending money on safety equipment to find the 
best for utility.)  My preference is for a deep, open Gorilla hook. 
Unlikely to come off accidentally, but almost effortlessly removed.  
OTOH  Never climb above them!  On the last set I had they were spring 
loaded and rotated to unlock.  Those were the ultimate PITA for small 
hands.
