For those who are sick of having a ring full of lock keys!!!

[HHDreamer]

I ran across this padlock and man can I cut down on my keys, my key ring is rather large...      These could work on roto choks, locks for generators, 5th wheel hitch, tripod, storage building, locking down ATV's and many more uses...     It matches to your vehicle ignition key...

I did find the lock for the Chryslers at a great price here:

I am going to order one and try it out, heck I may order 5 of them to start, Tonia is probably going to kill me at $20 a piece...

Now that is slick.  Watching for your "home test" wes 

[HHDreamer]

I ordered 3 of them to see how they do...  I will sure let you know Don...

 Thanks Wes --

One thing to be aware of is that some applications need certain sizes.  These locks only come in one size.  I have some locks that need long shanks, and some that have to be really short.  They are slick, and when I see Wes I am going to see if his lock will work on all the places I have mine now.

Thought about the size issue Jeff, that is why I got three and not 6...     You will hav4e to remind me in April to show you the locks and I will post how they work...

You know what would be really slick??  That lock, but it opens with a click of your door lock remote!! That I would go for in a heartbeat!! Still, a pretty slick idea. May have to try a couple.Thanks for posting this Wes!

That would be pretty cool if it could do that as well...  Give it time, who knows...

They're padlocks.  If they all unlocked, would you have to go around and lock them all one by one?

Newt

That would be a downside to have a remote for padlocks...      Unlock your truck doors and then run around and re-lock all your padlocks!!!           I could see my vocabulary changing after having to do that a couple times...

What happens when you change vehicles?
It reads "the locks learns permanently that key". Does that mean if you trade in your car/truck, the padlocks go with the vehicle?

You just don't tell the other person that they can unlock everything you have. 

Newt

[Jeff Collingwood]

Keep a key.

What happens when the battery quits?

The one in the key fob (for the future padlocks that will unlock with your automobile's key fob).

If the lock is going to recognize a remote signal, it has to have some sort of internal electronics to receive the signal. That requires power, which requires a battery or solar or something.

[Jeff Collingwood]

OK, so you guys aren't talking about the locks Wes is buying.  You are what if'ing some features you would like but they don't have, and if they had them, you'd criticize that option.

This is a great find, let us know how they look. I could use about 7 of them right away.
"Made in USA" I may not wait for the review. 

Rugged Santoprene jacket, now that does sound good.

Can Nuwa add these to our trailers? -> http://www.stratteclock.com/worktruck.php

[HHDreamer]

That would be a great idea Hut, they would work great for the compartment doors...    No more like keys and this could be a first for an RV company, now if there is one that NuWa could use...

The keys work mechanical by inserting the key and moves tumblers inside the lock. Doesn't look to me that they can work by remote. Open one lock at a time w/key.
Harold

[Jeff Collingwood]

Yes, he picture is just representing the vehicle key opening all the locks on the truck, manually with the key.

They don't have pricing on their website.  I emailed them for pricing.  I'll follow up if they get back to me.

Alright, got the locks the other day and they work great with the truck key...  They have about the same quality as the less expensive Brinks locks from Walmart...     With the long shank, I couldn't get it to work with the Kingpin Tripod...  They work great with Roto Choks, cables and chains for locking generators and ATV's...  The shank is a smaller diameter than your heavy duty locks...  They will deter most people from walking off with your stuff but, a hack saw will cut them off like any other lock...     I also have a Husky 16k hitch and the lock does fit it, which is great to keep those people from walking buy and stealing your brake cord and pulling the lever and unhooking your trailer so you get a big surprise when you leave a truck stop or rest area...   

For the convenience, they are worth it for me...     I would suggest buying one or two if you have Roto Choks and try them out...
