This heavy-duty cable lock codes to your vehicle's ignition key. Made of automotive-grade materials and nearly impossible to pick or bump, this corrosion-resistant lock helps keep your equipment safe and secure.
Features:
Specs:
Note: BOLT locks permanently code to only 1 vehicle. They cannot be re-coded or re-keyed.
Are you tired of carrying a bulky ring of keys - for your hitch lock and coupler lock, your pickup cover or trailer door, and all the various padlocks securing your equipment? Tired of fumbling for the right key or having to replace a lost key?
BOLT (Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology) has solved that problem by designing a line of locks that can operate with a key you already have handy - your vehicle ignition key.
When you insert your own key into the cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down until they are matched exactly to that key. The first time the key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. When the key is turned again, it will rotate to the unlocked position.
BOLT is particularly useful in commercial applications. Imagine being able to send a crew without having to sign out multiple keys for a work truck, trailer, hitch pins, and equipment locks. With BOLT, the vehicle key becomes a master key. It opens all those locks and you no longer have the hassle of getting to a work site only to find that you've brought the wrong keys.

Extremely well made and convenient to only need key fob key. Heavy cable with thick vinyl coating. Lock also rubberized so no chance of marring.
Shipping was quick.
was hoping it was longer but that is not etrailers fault; mine only, really easy to set the lock with a factory key and works perfect. etrailer did an awesome job shipping and making it a super easy purchase
I love the fact I don’t need to hunt for the keys when using these locks.
Ford Transit 350 4x4, thank you for where I got. I just figured out what I needed and then did got it. Thank you.
This is my third lock from BOLT. I have the cable lock and two receiver locks. I know I will be buying at least one more receiver lock in the future. These are well made strong and durable. The biggest benefit is that I can use my ignition key for all the locks and don't have to add individual keys and extra weight for each lock to my key fob.
First, e-trailer customer service is superb. No sooner than I had confirmed my order I was contacted and informed that the manufacturer was behind on supplies and that my order would be delayed. Even though I was dissapointed, I couldn't help but admire that I was not given a runaround; this shows true integrity and concern for their customers....that being said the product arrived as described and works as stated in the description. I just inserted my stock vehicle key, inserted it, a 3/4 turn clockwise and the lock mechanism was keyed to the vehicle key. After that just a quick 1/4 turn clockwise and the lock mechanism releases the cable end...simple as that!!
I bought this lock to keep a Little Giant Ladder unstolen in my truck bed. After a year of weather and some attempts by low tech stealers, my ladder remains unstolen. Also the lock is keyed the same as my taco truck key, so I always have the right key. The lock is well made, hefty, and durable. I recommend this lock.
Like the one key system.
Convenient and well built.
easy to set and nice to only have one K ey.
Works well for game cart. Very convenient.
Easy to key to jeep
Very heavy duty cable
I like only needing my ignition key for these locks, very convenient. Will be using to secure items in the bed of my truck.
Great product!!
Bolt locks are great. Have a Jeep and off road trailer. My greatest fear is to get up in the mountains to camp a left a trailer key at home. No problem now Jeep key unlocks everything. Your service is great.
The concept for this cable lock is ingenious, when first received, pair the lock with your truck key! You will alwasy have your key with and you already have a sparek key. New keys can be obtained from a dealer.
It's a new truck that I plan on having for a long time so why not?
The cable seems like a standard security cable, and the lock is heavy enough to match the weight of the cable.
Overall it's decent enough to prevent honest people and thieves of opportunity from stealing my property. However, It will easily be defeated by a thief who is prepared. There are other methods to account for that. I plan on making it not worth the while for any would-be thief to go after my stuff, and this is only part of the plan.
The key pairing is easy to do and locking/unlocking is also easy.
I like this product, I will add to my collection of the various locks and devices it works with.
I have this bolt lock, keyed to my Jeep ignition key. The self-keying is simple and takes less than a minute. I also have the other bolt products including a trailer tongue receiver pin lock, pad lock and Jeep hood lock. They are all excellent products.
Works exactly as advertised. It you want a cable lock that uses your Jeep key, go for it.

Excellent products. The one thing you dont lose when hunting is your car keys. Even then most guys have another set stashed away somewhere. I used these through two full hunting seasons now and cant be more satisfied by their functionality. In fact 3 of the guys I hunt with have inquired about the locks. I directed them to your website.
