Is Barrel Lock Better than Flat Key Lock Style of Torklift Battery Boxes

Question

Question:

Thanks for your quick responce. One more question. Are the keys all alike, similar to the problem with the #751 key the all the rvs use for the storage bays. Can someone with a key from a Torklift box open any other Torklift box.

We don't have a way to convert the lock of the TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box # TLA7710R to a barrel lock but the flat key style that it uses is very effective and less susceptible to corrosion than a barrel lock. I think you'll be really happy with the lock feature of this box.

I attached a review video for the box for more info as well.

Thankfully they are not. There are quite a few different Torkflift key numbers so the odds would be incredibly rare someone would have the same key as you.
