Truck Bed U-Lock |
Milwaukee, WI—January 30, 2009—Master Lock,
the world’s largest and most trusted
manufacturer of padlocks and related security
products, today announced the availability of
its revolutionary new Truck Bed U-Lock locking
system that safely and conveniently secures
virtually anything you can carry in a pick-up
truck’s cargo area.
The Truck Bed U-Lock is designed to deter “grab
and go” theft of valuable items as well as
constant shifting of objects being hauled.
Anchored by a weather proof and trusted Master
Lock designed and tested lock and cable system,
the U-Lock is a semi-permanent and easily
installed device whose locking body swivels 190
degrees for convenient use and it fits easily
into most pick-up truck bed stack hole pockets
without any drilling. The U-Lock is
constructed of a hardened steel shackle with a
lock body, has a key cover to protect it from
the elements and uses Mast Lock’s patented
Python-style cylinder which allows the cylinder
to be changed to make keyed alike sets for use
with multiple Truck Bed U-Locks. Because it’s a
Master Lock, users can trust it to protect their
valuables.
"Anyone, from the construction worker on the job
site to the do-it-your selfer and weekend motor
sports enthusiast, who has transported items in
their pick-up knows the challenges of securing
those valuable items from moving around and
common theft and that’s exactly why we designed
the Truck Bed U-Lock to be easy to use,
convenient to install and virtually fool-proof,”
commented Sherri Beachey, Product Manager at
Master Lock. “With its swivel flexibility and
the ability to customize key sets, the U-Lock is
a must for anyone with a pick-up and we’ve
priced it affordably so almost anyone can have
one,” said Beachey.
Specifically, the Truck Bed U-Lock fits:
- Ford F-series 2002-present
- GMC/Chevy 1500/2500 2002-present
- Toyota Tundra 2005-present
- Dodge Ram & Dakota 2006-Present
Master Lock’s patent pending Truck Bed U-Lock
retails for $35.00 and is available online at
the Master Lock website (www.masterlock.com).
Shipping and handling is included in the price.
