Published on January 13, 2021 Author Grant Cox Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 LOCK IT UP | Keep Your Valuables Safe and Secure Keeping Your Valuables Safe and Secure BOLT Lock in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has become one of the largest producers of automotive locks and keys in the world. What makes BOLT stand out from other lock manufacturers is its breakthrough one-key lock technology. Simply select a Ford-, Ram-, Chevy-, Jeep-, Nissan– or Toyota-compatible lock, and on its first use, the BOLT Lock permanently sets to your key. To go along with this convenience, BOLT Locks uses the latest automotive-grade technology in each product it builds to not only enhance security, but also to offer a limited lifetime warranty. After seeing this type of technology in each of BOLT’s lock designs, it makes perfect sense to use the locks for all my applications. I have a ’15 Ford F-150 as my daily driver, and it has a unique, side-cut key setup that is not like other keys. After visiting BOLT’s website, I was more than excited to see just how many products they offer.Subscribe to our weekly newsletter Bolt Lock 5/8” Receiver Lock Install Take out all the items from the packaging and get your Ford side cut groove key ready. Remove the sticker and lock seal covering the keyway. Insert your side cut key fully into the lock. Rotate clockwise until it stops. The lock has now permanently set to your key. Now it is time to install your new BOLT receiver lock onto your truck. Simply place the receiver bolt through your hitch mount and click the BOLT lock on. 2” Padlock and 6’ Cable Lock Install Remove the sticker and lock seal covering the keyway. Insert your side cut key fully into the lock. Rotate clockwise until it stops. Remove the sticker and lock seal covering the keyway. Insert your side cut key fully into the lock. Rotate clockwise until it stops. My F-150 has the factory optional lockable bed tiedown anchors.

For this install, my trailer uses the 1 7/8-inch ball adapter. Install the supplied bolt into the plate as shown. Using a ¾-inch wrench, tighten down the assembly until fully secured. Place plate with ball attached into the trailer coupler and latch the coupler. Places the supplied strap over the coupler and through either the forward or rear slots of the plate. Adjust the strap height until it is snug with the pin installed. Secure the pin with the BOLT lock.
