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 Covered Padlock with the 2 inch shackle, part number is BL7018520. This lock is designed to code to your Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep vehicle ignition key. It's made of automotive grade materials and nearly impossible to pick or bump. It's a corrosion resistant lock that helps keep your trailer and equipment safe and secure. On our enclosed trailer here, we're able to secure all of our doors and if you come up here to the front with me, even our coupler, using the same style lock, it's going to be keyed the same, so we always have our key with us when we need it. The lock uses the B O L T, or the BOLT technology, which is the break through one lock technology. That allows one key to operate every lock on our vehicle, that being the ignition key for our car.
Simply just slide our Chrysler key out of our key fob, we'll place it in the automotive grade lock. As you can see, it's got a stainless steel cover there. It uses a 6 side bar tumbler, so picking is virtually impossible. It's a cast zinc alloy cylinder, so very corrosion resistant as well as the chrome plating shackle here. It's really going to stand up to the test of time. We've got a hard rubber case, as you can see, all the way around the lock, makes it virtually crush proof, so we're not going to have to worry about anybody coming in with a big piece of equipment, crushing it, getting our stuff out of the inside.
Our ignition key will just slide right in, click turn, that's all there is to it. As you can see, there's a, not just a single, but we have a double D-tent, so we've got a double ball bearing lock on it. When the key is removed, it automatically locks, so we don't have to worry about it. Let's take a look at how to get this keyed to your vehicle's ignition key. With the physical ignition key in our hand, we're just going to slide it right into the tumbler, turn it fully around, back it off. As you can see, our lock's locked up.
Now it just takes a simple turn of our ignition key to unlock that. One thing to keep in mind with your lock, you don't want to do any test runs, you don't want to do any practices with the key other than the one you intend to use on a day to day basis. Once we have this keyed to our Chrysler key, that's all there is to it. We won't be able to change this to a different set up. That will complete today's look at the BOLT Covered Padlock with the 2 inch shackle, made right here in the United States and designed to fit Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep keys. Part number is BL7018520.
