Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the replacement lock cylinder for the bolt toolbox latch. This one codes to the early model GM key. Now this is designed to work with the Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. If you want to know the vehicles this'll work on is what I'd recommend is go to the product page of this part number and at the bottom of the page it'll have a list of the vehicles that it works on. Now you can use this replacement lock cylinder to replace a broken bolt cylinder in your toolbox latch or you can change it out to fit a different ignition key. This lock uses your vehicle's ignition key so you always have the right key with you.And the way you code it to the lock is you just insert your ignition key into the bolt cylinder, turn the key once, and then the lock is permanently coded to your key.
It does use a six plate tumbler sidebar to prevent picking and bumping it a lot. And it is weatherproof automotive quality construction. Uses a stainless steel lock shutter to keep out any dirt and moisture from the cylinder. And as I mentioned, it does lock automatically when the key is removed. One note I do want to mention is the bolt locks permanently code to only one vehicle.
They cannot be recoded or re-keyed. But that should do it for the review on the replacement lock cylinder for the bolt toolbox latch and this codes to the early model GM key.

Replaces a broken cylinder in your BOLT toolbox latch or you can change the latch to fit a different ignition key.Lock cylinders came just barely on time as estimated. In order to make sure things were done just right, I took it slow on the first replacement, took about 30min, then the next took about 10min and the next 5min, this was in 25° weather with gloves and basic tools. Really all that was needed for my locks was needle nose pliers and an adjustable wrench. My existing key turned ckockwise in a full 360°, then worked perfectly. So nice to not have a separate key!
So far the product has been received but not keyed to the customers key.
The product was what we were expecting.
Service shipped fast and was received fast.
Not exactly what I needed however I felt the need to tell everyone the service I received on the return. Super simple and you can talk to a human. They were even open for help on a Saturday.
Ashley is a very personable and intelligent young lady. She sold me three cylinders than explained how to change them. All operate perfectly.
Thank you for the help. sincerely, Jim Markham.
This product is crazy smart. It’s so rare to see a product that meets, let alone exceeds your expectations. I had a small issue with adapting the key barrel to the locking mechanism on a utility top I bought a that was already keyed to a Toyota. It took about 5 minutes of thought and effort and everything worked perfect. Using your ignition key to open your box is great. Much appreciated!
Works great on my leer utility topper that the previous owner had lost the keys for. I spoke with Kathy in sales and she was very helpful in making sure that these lock mechanisms would fit. Installed 3 of them in 15 minutes! Solved the problem for $50.00. These were $30.00 cheaper than the locksmith quote to “impression” a new key and now my truck key opens the topper too. Very satisfied thanks!
Ordered 3 of these for a truck cap I purchased on craigslist. Fit and function is good. Solid replacement. Re-keying was easy. The 3rd was defective. The key would not go into the tumbler more than half an inch no matter how I tried. I called the number on the website and talked to a REAL PERSON; who pulled up my order and sent out a replacement lock immediately. No hassle, no bs. Just sent it out and told me to toss the other one when I receive it in good condition. A+
These locks are amazing I purchased four of them and was able to key each one to the cylinder in less than five minutes just be sure that you make sure you’re ordering the right cylinder for your application
There seems to be a small area on the key cylinder that doesn’t allow me to push the c clip and the small piece that go’s on before it onto the black plastic. Doesn’t allow me to fix, have to grind a small area off. Not happy.
Perfect as expected! Quick shipping
Awesome job thanks for all your help looking forward to continuing doing Business
Worked precisely as advertised 3x on a used leer utility topper.
Worked like a charm.
These worked great on my A.R.E. DCU truck topper! I was able to key them to my 2020 Ford side cut keys. I did NOT need the retaining nuts in my case, as I was able to reuse the nuts that were on the previous lock tumblers.
Exactly what I needed. Very easy to replace the old cylinder with this one and key to my existing key simply by inserting key and turning.
I’m a locksmit, these locks are common to go out so now I’m keeping extra stock handy. The rekeying process was a little scary at first but simple in the end.
Great company to deal with. Extremely helpful when I was unsure of exactly what lock cylinder I needed.
Fast shipping and amazing service. We will buy from Etrailer again!
I bought a used ARE commercial topper and the previous owner did not have the key to the locks. I went online and found locks that looked similiar to the ones on the topper. These Bolt lock replacement cylinders were spot on perfect. I followed the directions that came with the locks and it worked perfectly. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Thank you etrailer.com for facilitating this transaction.
They worked perfectly for my A.R.E. contractor truck cap. The key used was for a newer FORD(2015) even though top was on a 2000 Ford. So find out what year keys will work if you want one key on your ring. Again key(no pun intended) is it worked for my A R E topper and was 1/3 cost the ARE stealership wanted
very easy installation, I'm happy,Only that they should include the rubber gaskets, I had to take mine out of the trash because I thought the cylinder would include them
Worked perfectly!!
This product was exactly what I needed for my utility body. Good customer service provided.
