Aiming at commercial work trucks from light to heavy, Strattec Security offers a series of locks that open with the owner’s truck ignition key. 

The Bolt Series of locks incorporate a patented, automotive-style cylinder that enables users to insert their truck key, turn once, and program the lock to that key. Any number of padlocks or other locks in the series can be set by the owner to a single key. In addition, since these locks use an automotive-grade cylinder with a shutter and six-plate tumbler, they’re claimed to have the highest corrosion resistance rating. They’re also said to be nearly impossible to pick or bump. Strattec adds that they’re also stronger and more durable than typical cam locks, suiting them well to work-truck applications.

The Bolt Series will initially include a padlock, 5/8-in. receiver lock, ½-in. receiver lock, cable lock, and spare-tire lock, with others to follow. It’s also available as optional equipment on storage compartments in utility, service and lift truck bodies built by Knapheide, Caseco, BrandFX and other manufacturers.

The company estimates the locks to fit over 88% of light trucks and over 70% of all Ford, GM and Chrysler vehicles on the road. They are also compatible with a number of heavy truck models, including International’s Pro Star and 4000, Volvo’s VN, and the discontinued Sterling Condor.
