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.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Bolt line of trailer coupler locks. These are designed to fit with your standard ignition key. They can be keyed to Ford, Chevy, GM, Nissan, Toyota, just about whatever you got. They use an automotive quality lock. It has a six-plate tumbler that's going to prevent it from being picked. There's a stainless steel shutter that you can see right here.
That keeps dirt and debris out of our cast zinc cylinder. It's going to give us superior corrosion resistance. It attaches to the stainless steel rust-proof shaft using a double ball bearing, and it's going to lock automatically when the key is removed. They make these right here in the United States and they're going to offer a limited lifetime warranty. Now to get our lock set up we're simply going to take our ignition key, our key that we're going to use everyday with our vehicle. We're going to place it right into the lock and we turn it all the way over until it stops.
At that point our lock is unlocked and our tumbler is keyed. That's all there is to it. As you'll see here now we can slide it right down in there, get our secure fit. These are adjustable anywhere from 1/2" all the way up to 3-3/8". That's on an 1/8" increment.
We've got several different spots there where we can get it connected to give us a good snug fit. Now that we've gone over how it works, we'll show you how to use it on your trailer. Here on our trailer we're just going to slide the pin right through our coupler. We'll bring our bolt lock onto the other side. We'll then just turn our key and remove it. When we're ready to head down the road we'll know that nobody's going to be able to remove the trailer from our vehicle or hook up to it when our trailer's unattended.
To remove it we'll just place our ignition key in, give it a turn, and pull it right off. Now that we've seen how it works and we've gone over all the features, that will complete today's look at Bolt line of trailer coupler locks. .

Works as advertised with GM key.
wonderful, worked great on the key for my 07 (classic) silverado 2500hd. using this on my reese signature series sliding hitch to discourage passerbies from considering removing the hitch from the pucks. Should also fit a conventional coupler as advertised.
Only downside is it would have been nice if it would 'ratchet' tight while locked so I could take my key out and then push it tight instead of getting it on and then locking with the key.
Great locks and easy to set up.
Great lock and easy to set up.
Worked great with no rust in Florida weather until I lost the locking part!
I never need to remember any special keys. Love it!
