Video Transcript for What to Know About the Replacement Lock Cylinder for BOLT Toolbox Latch

Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at this Bolt replacement lock cylinder. So this is going to replace the lock cylinder in your Bolt toolbox latch that codes to Ford keys. It will fit the model that you see on the screen there. So if you're wanting to move your toolbox to a different Ford vehicle, obviously those box cylinders are keyed to your ignition key.

So if you're switching vehicles, you will need to switch out that lock cylinder so that you can use the new key to open up your toolbox. So pretty simple process to remove. You just have to use that same retaining nut, or we do have replacements that are sold separately, but just kind of pull the original one off, put this one in its place, and then use that retaining nut to secure the cylinder in place. Obviously you'll key it just the same as the original. So you'll slide your ignition key in there fully, and that will code it to that key permanently.

So if you are searching for a way to get that original recoded, you are going to have to get a replacement like this in order to use that new ignition key. This does come with a limited lifetime warranty. So you can trust it's going to do a good job for you. If you have any problems you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com, we're always happy to work with our customers to make sure you're getting good quality products and having a good experience. So if you have a Ford ignition key that you're wanting to get that toolbox latch keyed to, this is going to be exactly what you need.

That's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Got 3 cylinders for the used cap I purchased. The cylinders worked flawlessly. It truly is as simple as the directions, 1) remove protective sticker, 2) insert truck key, 3) turn key clockwise. BOOM.. Good to go.

Very happy with my experience with etrailer. Will buy from this seller again.

I ordered three of this item for my 2022 Ram 1500 contractor cap. They were an exact replacement part for my topper and keyed to my fob perfectly. I could not be happier!! And the sales rep was helpful and very timely in his email responses regarding my order status and ETA. I will be using this company again and telling everyone about it!

It is very convenient to have the truck topper locks keyed the same as the truck. However, I went through a number of Bolt locks before finally getting some that wouldnt malfunction. When they malfunctioned, the only way to replace them was to drill them out. Fortunately Bolt sent replacement locks each time at no cost to me. It only took my time to change them out. Havent had a problem for a number of months, thankfully. Bolt admitted they had a manufacturing issue for a while. Overall, Im happy.

  • Looking For New Lock Cylinder For 2008 A.R.E Contractor Shell
    Hello David, thanks for reaching out. I will need more information on your camper shell in order to know what locks will work. Can you provide the model number from your shell? That will help a lot to narrow things down. For example, if your ARE shell uses the BOLT brand locks, the Replacement Lock Cylinder # BLT79FR can be used as long as your Ford key looks like one of the ones pictured below. Get me that model number and I am happy to look into it and see what we can do.

  • Looking for Lock Core for A.R.E Topper to Match Key of 2019 Ford F-150
    Hey Myles, since your A.R.E DCU topper has the BOLT cylinders you'll want to use the Replacement Lock Cylinder item # BLT79FR. This cylinder will work with your 2019 F-150's key as long as it's a center cut style key. If it's a side cut that folds out from a key fob you'd instead need the part # BL7025636. To secure the cylinders in place you will also need to order three of the Retaining Nut item # BL4306752. You can email me back with the pictures.

  • BOLT Lock Cylinder Retaining Nut
    Hi Luis, you’re exactly right to question that, and I appreciate you sticking with me on it.

The correct replacement is the Retaining Nut for BOLT Tool Box Latch Lock Cylinder, part # BL4306752, which threads onto the back of the cylinder and secures it in place.
