Theft Control

Frequently Asked Questions About Universal Theft Control

What types of anti-theft devices are included in this category?

This category covers universal security accessories designed to protect your truck and cargo, including items such as king pin locks, glad hand locks, air tank drain valve locks, fuel cap locks, and battery box locks. These devices are built to deter tampering, fuel siphoning, and unauthorized trailer hookups.

Will these theft control devices fit my specific truck or trailer?

Most products in this category are designed as universal fit solutions, meaning they work across a wide range of truck and trailer makes and models. However, because fittings and component sizes can vary, we recommend checking the listed dimensions and compatible fitting types on each product page before purchasing to confirm proper fit for your equipment.

What materials are these locks and security devices made from?

These products are typically constructed from hardened steel or other durable metals designed to resist cutting, drilling, and prying. Many feature weather-resistant coatings or finishes to hold up against road grime, moisture, and temperature extremes during daily use.

Do these devices require drilling or permanent modification to install?

Most theft control devices in this category are designed for simple, non-permanent installation, such as clamping, bolting, or inserting into an existing fitting or valve. Basic hand tools are generally all that is needed. Always follow the specific installation instructions included with your product, since exact steps can vary by device type.

What happens if I lose my key or need a replacement?

Key replacement options depend on the manufacturer and lock model. Some devices are sold with multiple keys included, while others may require contacting the manufacturer directly for a replacement based on the lock's serial number. We recommend keeping a spare key in a secure location and noting the lock's model information at the time of purchase in case you need a replacement down the road.
