C.T.Johnson Spare Tire Lock STL, Solid Steel Dead Bolt Lock, Chrome Plated, Adjusts 1/4 to 7/8 Inch

The C.T.Johnson Spare Tire Lock, part number STL, is a solid machined steel, chrome plated dead bolt lock built to protect a spare tire from theft. Instead of adding a separate clamp or cage, the STL lock replaces one of the lug bolts on the spare tire carrier, so the dead bolt itself becomes the fastener that firmly secures the tire in place. Once installed, the tire cannot be removed from the carrier without the correct key, deterring casual theft of a spare that is otherwise an easy target since it is mounted outside the vehicle.

The lock body adjusts from 1/4 inch to 7/8 inch, allowing it to fit a range of carrier and lug bolt thicknesses. It uses a covered key cylinder to keep the keyway shielded from dirt, road spray, and tampering, and two keys are included so a spare can be kept with a second driver or stored separately from the primary set. The chrome plated finish gives the lock a polished appearance while helping resist corrosion on an assembly that is constantly exposed to the elements. Overall dimensions are 12.8 x 7.4 x 0.1 inches and the unit weighs 0.7 pounds, with one lock included per package.
