Secure your gear with industry-leading locks

Whale tail locks are the go-to choice for securing vehicle storage, combining reliable security with enhanced aesthetics and durability. Here are some of the features that make them incredibly popular among ute owners:

Superior security

Whale tail locks are renowned for their robust security features. They come equipped with a unique key and padlocking system, making them significantly more challenging to tamper with compared to standard locks. This dual-locking mechanism ensures that your ute canopy or tool boxes are virtually impenetrable — providing peace of mind whether your vehicle is parked in a remote off-road or urban area.

Improved aesthetics

Installing whale tail locks significantly enhances the visual appeal of your storage solutions. These locks are designed for rear fixing — a method that ensures a cleaner appearance by hiding unsightly hardware and contributes to a more streamlined and sleek look.

Enhanced dust and water protection

Ute whale tail locks offer superior defence against the elements. The innovative design includes a compression feature that pulls the door tighter upon closing, creating an enhanced seal. This capability is crucial for keeping dust, water and other contaminants out, particularly in harsh weather conditions or rugged terrains.

Three-point locking

The versatility of whale tail locks extends to their adaptability in security configurations. These locks are designed with eyelets that allow for the addition of rods, transforming a standard lock into a three-point locking system. This translates into enhanced effectiveness by distributing the locking mechanism across three separate points on the door. It dramatically increases the difficulty for potential intruders in gaining forced entry.

Unmatched versatility

Whale tail locks are a perfect choice for a wide range of vehicles — whether it’s a caravan, camper trailer, utility vehicle, large toolbox, 4WD canopy or under tray storage attachments. Their robust design also meets diverse functional requirements, from simple security enhancement to complex, integrated systems.
