  • Trailer Coupler Latch Lock Compatible With 2 Different Tow Vehicles
  • The BOLT Trailer Coupler Lock # BL7025290 is going to be programmed to only your 2017 Ford F-250. If you wanted a lock keyed to your 2017 GMC Yukon XL you will need the Lock # BL7025287. You will not be able to use one lock coded to two different vehicle keys.

  • Recommendation for Locking Tailgate on 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  • The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock - Manual - Black # PAL6100 is a fit for your vehicle but does not have the ability to use that same vehicle ignition key. What most people prefer is the power and manual lock option which allows you to lock your tailgate with the power lock system already integrated in your vehicle. When you lock the doors, you lock the tailgate too and the same for unlocking. The manual lock then with separate key is only for situations where you want to keep that...

  • Locking the hand wheel coupler to your vehicle can be tricky.

  • Can BOLT Locks Be Re-Coded to New Vehicle After Initial Use
  • The BOLT Hitch Locks such as # BL7023582 can be coded to a vehicle key only one time. This one-time coding is permanent.

  • Availability of a Lock for Use on the Trunk of a Rental Vehicle
  • We do not offer a lock product designed specifically for the purpose you describe. There are specialty locks offered for vehicle trunks and these are often used by traveling salespeople. The trouble is that these usually require semi-permanent installation (and drilling) that might alter/damage the rental vehicle. This could result in significant costs to you. It may be possible to inquire of the car rental service if they offer approved locks that can be rented along with the vehicle.

  • Why Rotate Steering Wheel Before Installing the Master Lock Vehicle Steering Wheel Lock 252DAT
  • The purpose of rotating your steering wheel when installing Master Lock Advanced Security Quad Hook Vehicle Steering Wheel Lock # 252DAT is to engage the lock that is built-in to the steering column.

  • What To Do If Using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS On a Vehicle With Steering Wheel That Does Not Lock
  • Correct, the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly part # DM9713045 does indeed call for the toad vehicle's steering wheel to be locked while in tow. If the toad vehicle's steering wheel does not lock then you will need to find a way to tie this off in a fixed potion, some use the seat belt. That said, I don't have any devices for this but there are some available. If you like you can reference the owner's manual which I have attached for you that further explains the steering wheel lock requirements.

  • Does Pace Edwards 311-LK290 PowerGate Tailgate Lock Tie Into Vehicle Alarm System
  • According to the folks at Pace Edwards, their # 311-LK290 PowerGate tailgate lock will not interface with the vehicle's alarm. It will tie into the power locks so the tailgate lock will actuate with the key fob, but as far as the alarm system goes, the lock will operate independently of the vehicle's alarm system. I've linked to a product description video for the Pace Edwards # 311-LK290 PowerGate tailgate lock.
