Bolt Hood Lock Kit... Seriously??

[starrskream]

Bolt's killer feature is that their generic lock cylinder keys itself to your key on first use. They use it in the hood lock obviously, but if you've ever looked at their other products, they have other accessory locks like padlocks, hitch pin lock etc. In the process of looking into those, I read the negative reviews on amazon. Quite a few where the cylinder locks up and just spins. I think I trust a Master lock to still operate after a few years out in the weather... not sure they're quite there with this product though. Cutting off a hitch pin or hood lock is going to be an ordeal.

Anyway, I'd start by leaving the rubber cover on. And very curious about maintenance procedure too, if I end up getting the accessory locks

been using it on locks for years. gun oil also works surprisingly well.

Not to mention needing access after freezing rain or slush! Ever try that door keyway when it is frozen? I used the rubber cover.
