MILWAUKEE – Master Lock, a manufacturer of padlocks and related security products, 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.
