BOLT locks are now available for 2015 and 2016 Ford Transit and Transit Connect commercial vans. 

Patented BOLT locks are designed so that a single ignition key can be programmed to open any number of BOLT locks, reducing the need for multiple keys. The first time the ignition key is inserted into the BOLT lock cylinder spring-loaded plate tumblers move, immediately coding the cylinder to that unique key. From then on, only the driver's ignition key is needed to unlock a padlocked toolbox, unhitch a trailer or secure gear and other valuable equipment.

Rugged, weatherproof BOLT locks are manufactured with an electroless nickel-plated carbon steel pin or shaft assembly/shield for strength and durability and feature an automotive-grade stainless steel lock shutter and a six-plate tumbler sidebar that prevents picking and bumping. The BOLT product line includes:

  • The weatherproof BOLT Coupler Pin Lock is designed to secure trailers when not in tow, fits couplers from 1/2-inch to 3 3/8-inch, and slides easily along stainless steel pin. Part number 7025290.
  • BOLT's 5/8-inch and 1/2-inch Receiver Locks prevent theft of trailer ball mount or accessories and feature a durable, solid stainless steel lock shutter designed to keep out elements and debris. Part number 7023585.
