Strattec Security Corp. today announced the introduction of a new, high-security padlock that operates with a vehicle key.
Users select a General Motors, Ford, or Chrysler compatible padlock, insert and turn their vehicle key, and the padlock will be permanently coded to their key.
The user need not carry extra keys, remember a combination or thumb through a ring of keys searching for the right one
Both commercial fleet managers and utility and service-body truck buyers can specify Strattec's single-key solution for storage compartments, tool chests and other equipment, enabling the operator to access the entire vehicle with a single key.
"Padlock users appreciate the simplicity of one-key convenience," said Michael Long, director of new market development for Milwaukee-based Strattec. "And they value the extra security of knowing only their vehicle key will open their padlock."
Strattec estimates that its padlock is compatible with more than 88 percent of the light trucks on the road since 1998 and is also compatible with select Sterling and International truck keys.
The padlock, which has a suggested retail price of $20, will be available through participating Strattec-authorized distributors, which may be found at www.stratteclock.com.
