Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the replacement lock cylinder for the bolt toolbox latch. This one codes to the early model GM key. Now this is designed to work with the Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. If you want to know the vehicles this'll work on is what I'd recommend is go to the product page of this part number and at the bottom of the page it'll have a list of the vehicles that it works on. Now you can use this replacement lock cylinder to replace a broken bolt cylinder in your toolbox latch or you can change it out to fit a different ignition key. This lock uses your vehicle's ignition key so you always have the right key with you.And the way you code it to the lock is you just insert your ignition key into the bolt cylinder, turn the key once, and then the lock is permanently coded to your key.
It does use a six plate tumbler sidebar to prevent picking and bumping it a lot. And it is weatherproof automotive quality construction. Uses a stainless steel lock shutter to keep out any dirt and moisture from the cylinder. And as I mentioned, it does lock automatically when the key is removed. One note I do want to mention is the bolt locks permanently code to only one vehicle.
They cannot be recoded or re-keyed. But that should do it for the review on the replacement lock cylinder for the bolt toolbox latch and this codes to the early model GM key.

Replaces a broken cylinder in your BOLT toolbox latch or you can change the latch to fit a different ignition key.This product is crazy smart. It’s so rare to see a product that meets, let alone exceeds your expectations. I had a small issue with adapting the key barrel to the locking mechanism on a utility top I bought a that was already keyed to a Toyota. It took about 5 minutes of thought and effort and everything worked perfect. Using your ignition key to open your box is great. Much appreciated!
There seems to be a small area on the key cylinder that doesn’t allow me to push the c clip and the small piece that go’s on before it onto the black plastic. Doesn’t allow me to fix, have to grind a small area off. Not happy.
These locks are amazing I purchased four of them and was able to key each one to the cylinder in less than five minutes just be sure that you make sure you’re ordering the right cylinder for your application
Works great on my leer utility topper that the previous owner had lost the keys for. I spoke with Kathy in sales and she was very helpful in making sure that these lock mechanisms would fit. Installed 3 of them in 15 minutes! Solved the problem for $50.00. These were $30.00 cheaper than the locksmith quote to “impression” a new key and now my truck key opens the topper too. Very satisfied thanks!
Ordered 3 of these for a truck cap I purchased on craigslist. Fit and function is good. Solid replacement. Re-keying was easy. The 3rd was defective. The key would not go into the tumbler more than half an inch no matter how I tried. I called the number on the website and talked to a REAL PERSON; who pulled up my order and sent out a replacement lock immediately. No hassle, no bs. Just sent it out and told me to toss the other one when I receive it in good condition. A+
Worked precisely as advertised 3x on a used leer utility topper.

I bought a used ARE commercial topper and the previous owner did not have the key to the locks. I went online and found locks that looked similiar to the ones on the topper. These Bolt lock replacement cylinders were spot on perfect. I followed the directions that came with the locks and it worked perfectly. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Thank you etrailer.com for facilitating this transaction.

These BOLT locks are absolutely great! Ingenious design that lets you use one key for your truck and the lock. I had purchased a second hand commercial truck topper that had three locks that were keyed to the former owner's truck. The truck topper dealer wanted a whole bunch of money to replace the entire T handles. These solved my problem and the price beat another site!! Very pleased with etrailer! etrailer saved the day and shipping was very fast!

I’m a locksmith with All About Locks and while servicing a world truck in Chico Ca for a customer of mine, one of the locks I ordered didn’t work as intended. When I called etrailer they immediately sent me out a new one. Excellent customer service. Thank you! I will defiantly be using them again.

I have been trying to find out where to get this lock, I tried to get it from the Ford dealership and they didn’t seem to have any idea what I was talking about, so I went to the Ford corporate website, they said they had never sold anything like this, but, on your site, it was plainly listed as a Ford lock with bezel. So, if I’m ever in the need for this article again, I’ll be coming right back to you guys. You’re the best !

This lock is great. I love the fact that I could set it to work with my existing RAM truck key. It was simple to set. Would gladly buy again.
Review from a similar Toolbox Cylinder in BOLT Locks
I recently purchased 5 locks for my ARE truck cap. I was skeptical at first that the pins would all line up with a new key. To my amazement, they all did the first time. Removing and installing the new locks were easy. I only used a small screw driver, and a pair of pliers.

Review from a similar Toolbox Cylinder in BOLT Locks
I ordered this lock for adaptation to the Deck System pull out drawers. The lock unit itself is well built and easily keyed to my ignition key. The problem comes in that the locking mechanism which attaches to the rear, attaches with a snap ring, whereas most drawer locks I've seen, the locking mechanism attaches with a screw, for durable security. Also, I was sent a metal locking mechanism, which was of a thin metal, and could easily be pulled past the stop area. I hopefully can get some more durable steel and make my own mechanism, although I am concerned that it cannot be screwed onto the rear of the lock, and will still have to be attached with the snap ring. Let me say that the customer service and help I was given was better than excellent. Jason went above his responsibility in trying to help me adapt this unit. Finally, I would offer that future locks be adapted to attach the locking mechanism with a rear screw for more durability.

Exactly what I needed to rekey my topper. This company is great on keeping you informed on order status as these where back ordered. I had multiple contacts and was aware of the delay in the order. Great customer service and they care about their customers!

Replaced an old lock from a used camper shell . We installed the new cylinder and it works like a charm.
Review from a similar Toolbox Cylinder in BOLT Locks
Works great, but a little longer than the stock ARE camper lock, so a little fabrication is in order.
Review from a similar Toolbox Cylinder in BOLT Locks
The part was incorrect for my use. I thought I had ordered the part that I had seen on the internet but you order department typed in the wrong number(?) and I got a different item. After some discussion back and forth I let the mistake go the way of all flesh and decided I would make the purchase locally for a little more $$. Not a very good experience since I was made to look like the bad guy not a customer.

Works well with factory key, but doesn't work as a stand alone lock for a pickup box if it's not a handle style.
