Yes Ann, the RodVault 4 # TH34FR55YR comes with locks for both the reel box and the mounting clamps. We know how expensive some nice fly rods can be!
Marshall from Athens, Georgia, runs four rods in his vault and said he’s left them parked downtown or at trailheads with no concerns. The locks are keyed alike and reinforced against tampering. You only need one key for everything which is super nice!
I attached a couple pics of the instructions that cover these locks. Have you had any unfortunate events like gear getting stolen or anything?
