BOLT Replacement Toolbox Lock Cylinder for Ford Side‑Cut Keys — Automotive‑Grade, Weather‑Resistant

The BOLT 7025636 replacement lock cylinder lets you operate your BOLT toolbox latch with your vehicle’s Ford side‑cut ignition key, eliminating extra keys while providing a rugged, automotive‑grade locking solution.

Designed specifically for BOLT retrofit applications, this cylinder is a direct replacement for BOLT toolbox latch kits that use BOLT technology. It is built to automotive standards with features that resist dirt, moisture, picking and bumping. If you’ve moved your truck equipment between vehicles or need to restore keyed‑alike functionality, this cylinder installs easily and pairs with Ford side‑cut keys for a streamlined key ring.

Will this cylinder work with my truck’s existing BOLT toolbox latch?

Yes — but only if your toolbox latch kit is a BOLT system that supports retrofitting. This cylinder is made to drop into BOLT‑branded latch assemblies and replace the original lock cylinder without modifying the latch body.

• Compatible exclusively with BOLT retrofit kits featuring BOLT technology (verify your kit number)
• Not a universal or ignition/door cylinder replacement
• Simple swap‑in installation for existing BOLT latch housings

How does the lock resist dirt, moisture and tampering?

The cylinder uses automotive‑grade materials and internal security features to keep contaminants out and reduce tamper risk. A stainless steel shutter seals the keyway against debris while a plate‑tumbler sidebar design helps prevent common attacks like picking and bumping.

• Stainless steel shutter blocks dirt and moisture
• Plate‑tumbler sidebar increases resistance to picking and bumping
• Durable construction built to withstand truck‑use conditions

Can I use my Ford side‑cut ignition key with this cylinder?

Yes — this replacement cylinder is cut to operate with Ford side‑cut ignition keys, so you can remove an extra key from your ring and use the vehicle key to open the toolbox. Verify your vehicle’s year, make and model for proper fitment before purchasing.

• Works with Ford side‑cut ignition keys (confirm key type and vehicle fitment)
• Opens toolbox with the same key as the ignition for convenience
• Reduces the number of separate keys needed for truck gear

What warranty and quality assurances come with the replacement cylinder?

The cylinder is manufactured to automotive quality standards and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, giving you long‑term protection against defects while ensuring performance for vehicle use. This warranty covers manufacturing flaws but does not replace misuse or improper installation.

• Automotive‑grade build quality for rugged use
• Limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects
• Made for long‑term service in truck and utility environments

Who is this for: The BOLT 7025636 Replacement Cylinder is aimed at truck owners, fleet managers, and tradespeople who already use BOLT‑brand toolbox latch kits and want to consolidate keys, restore lost or damaged cylinders, or transfer BOLT equipment between vehicles. It’s ideal for anyone with a compatible BOLT retrofit kit seeking a straightforward, durable replacement that accepts Ford side‑cut ignition keys.
