This retrofit latch kit for your toolbox has a lock that codes to your ignition key. Corrosion-resistant lock is made of automotive-grade materials and is nearly impossible to pick or bump.
Features:
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.

Speaker 1: Today we are going to take a look at the bolt toolbox latch retrofit kit. This one codes to the Ford key. Now, this part will work with most Ford vehicles but I would recommend if you go to the product page of this part number at the bottom of the page it will have a list of vehicles it'll work with.Now this will help if you get tired of trying to find the correct key to open your truck toolbox, this retrofit latch kit for your toolbox has a lock that uses both technology and it'll code to your vehicle's ignition key. So with bolt your vehicle key becomes your master key and this lock uses your vehicle's ignition key so you always have the right key with you and basically the way you would code it through this lock is you just take your ignition key, put it into the bolt cylinder, turn the key once and then the lock is permanently coded to your key.Now one note I do want to mention is that the bolt locks will permanently code to only one vehicle. They cannot be recoded or rekeyed. The latch itself will replace the factory latch on your truck bed toolbox.
It is designed to work on most truck bed toolboxes like UWS, EZ, Tractor Supply and many other brands.It does use a heavy duty lock cylinder with security features. It uses a plate tumbler sidebar to prevent picking or bumping of the lock. It does use a stainless steel lock shutter to help keep out dirt and moisture and it also will lock automatically when the key is removed. The latch itself is a weatherproof, automotive quality stainless steel construction.You can see it's a paddle style handle design. It lifts very easily.
Now this kit will include everything laid out here on the table. It includes the latch handle, the frame and the lock cylinder. It includes a spacer, lever and eclip and then for rivets for installing this into your toolbox, it does have a nice set of detailed instructions that describe how to install everything. But that should do it for the review on the bolt tool box latch retro fit kit that codes to the Ford key.

This retrofit latch kit for your toolbox has a lock that codes to your ignition key. Corrosion-resistant lock is made of automotive-grade materials and is nearly impossible to pick or bump.Replaced the latch on my RDS 60 Gallon Auxiliary Fuel Tank and toolbox combo. Worked great and this latch functions many, many times smoother that the original latch even after it had been lubed. Now everyone doesn't have a key that works on my auxiliary tank and I have one less key to keep up with.
The BOLT toolbox lock works great with my FORD key. Have purchased several BOLT locks from 'e-trailer', & all work great.
The parts were for a customer. Have not heard anything bad
just as stated, haven't had time to install them but the look like they should be better the what came on the tool boxes.
The latches installed easily and worked great. Programming the key was simple and they work better than the original locks.
Great product and fast delivery. I removed 6 keys from my key ring.
