Are There Replacement Keys for a Locking ARE Truck Cap
Updated 09/02/2025 | Published 08/05/2025 >
Question:
Hi, I have a new to me ARE truck cap. It did not come with any keys. Looked for a key code but could not find it. Possible to help me find the code for replacement keys or what replacement lock would work? I can send pictures as well.

Hey Robert, thanks for reaching out!
We don't have replacement keys, but we do have replacement handles/locks like the Bauer Products # BA77VR which has the mounting holes spaced 1-1/2" apart on center.
If this doesn't look like what you have, then feel free to reply to my email to you with any photos you have and I'll be happy to see if we have something that works for you!
One other thing you might try doing is reaching out directly to ARE to see if they are able to get you setup with a direct replacement.
