This heavy-duty padlock codes to your Ford Van's ignition key. Made of automotive-grade materials and nearly impossible to pick or bump, this corrosion-resistant lock helps keep your trailer and equipment safe and secure.

Specs:
Note: BOLT locks permanently code to only 1 vehicle. They cannot be re-coded or re-keyed.
Are you tired of carrying a bulky ring of keys - for your hitch lock and coupler lock, your pickup cover or trailer door, and all the various padlocks securing your equipment? Tired of fumbling for the right key or having to replace a lost key?
BOLT (Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology) has solved that problem by designing a line of locks that can operate with a key you already have handy - your vehicle ignition key.
When you insert your own key into the cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down until they are matched exactly to that key. The first time the key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. When the key is turned again, it will rotate to the unlocked position.
BOLT is particularly useful in commercial applications. Imagine being able to send a crew without having to sign out multiple keys for a work truck, trailer, hitch pins, and equipment locks. With BOLT, the vehicle key becomes a master key. It opens all those locks and you no longer have the hassle of getting to a work site only to find that you've brought the wrong keys.

This heavy-duty padlock codes to your vehicle's ignition key. Made of automotive-grade materials and nearly impossible to pick or bump, this corrosion-resistant lock helps keep your trailer and equipment safe and secure.using this on my trailer ball hitch. Shaft is not to big and the length of the shaft is good. Easy to set up with my truck key.
It's a great, quality lock. Spends most of its time on the back of my trailer keeping my ramps where I left them. Opens easily with my truck key.

Still in the same spot and still holding up great.
The lock rusted more than I thought it should for the price I paid.
I have multiples of these for locking various cables and hitches to my vehicle. It is the best thing since sliced bread. It keeps my key bring down to just a couple of keys instead of 7 or 8 different lock keys for various locks. You can also pick them up in a shackle style lock as well.
Overall I really like this lock it does everything I need it to do. I like that it is keyed to my ignition key.
The only downfall is if it is left unlocked hanging in a trailer the shank may separate from the body requiring you to line up and force it back together. Had this never happened it would have gotten 5 stars.
I had bought one of these locks I had seen on display at a store and it was their last one, so I checked back at my loyal suppliers’ etrailer, low and behold they have them in stock I bought 4 more, these are the best locks all keyed to the same vehicle this happens when you insert the vehicle key and then it is keyed to that key. Love it. No more messing around with carrying all the keys for the locks for this and that, can’t remember which key went for what. Nope that is all gone. Locks stay with the vehicle and you will have the keys to the locks. Simple.
Since I was buying a trailer lock and a hitch lock I figured might as well get a Bolt padlock for just incase purposes. Didn't key as easily as the trailer and hitch locks did but finally got it. Much sturdier looking than it's photo. Again thanks folks at etrailer for your fast processing/shipping.
Works great
Top notch product, These locks make the problem of keeping track of all the keys protecting my cargo and towing products simple and easy. These work great and you can count on this company and Etrailer to meet your needs. RV-ers can feel safe dealing with this company.
The lock works awesome one less key to worry about I bought 2 and I'm glad I did
This is my favorite padlock! No extra keys, just my truck key, and it's very strong. I highly recommend!
I really like having these locks keyed to my motorhome ignition key. I use them with to help secure accessories around the campsite.
I love these bolt products. I have several. And I always know that as long as I have my truck key I can open my locks. A little more expensive than a basic lock but well worth it.
Very easy to key to match ignition key.
Great locks. Third one to buy. You don't have to look for the keys on three different locks...
Great product and fast delivery. I removed 6 keys from my key ring.
Love having a lock that uses my FORD Truck key.
Good product but I ordered the wrong one by accident!
Service has been good as well.

I have had these on my truck trailer hitch and the trailer ball lock and have had no issues. They have operated without issue. I do spray with silicone lubricant from time to time as a preventive measure.
