Home | Mounting and Installation Instructions.

The first thing to do when installing your Strap Lock is to figure out where in (or on) your vehicle to put it. It can be mounted in a variety of ways. It can be mounted from the roof rack to the tailgate, storage box the bulk head of the pick up bed. Two things are important, you have to have enough room to get the bolt in the back and a wrench to it, and enough room for your tow strap to lay flat.


When you opened the package, you noticed a bag full of hardware. Chances are you will not use it all. We tried to include as much as we could to allow you plenty of installation ideas with out having to make trips to the hardware store. Here is a description for each and you can decide if that is what you need.
  • 1, 3˝ Bolt - Use when holding a 2˝ strap
  • 1, 4˝ Bolt - Use when holding a 3˝ strap.
  • 2 Large Washers - Preferred way is to use these. If you are mounting on sheetmetal, the small one would work just fine. If you are mounting on a softer surface such plastic of a body panel, or container, try and use the large washer for more support
  • 2 Small washers - In case large washer do not fit
  • 1 Wing Nut - To secure the Strap Lock to the mounting bolt.
  • 1 Medium Washer - To be used with the wing nut
  • 1 Standard Nut - To be used as the jam nut to secure the mounting bolt.
Suggested tools for the install: Drill with at least a 3/8th drill bit. 9/16ths wrench(s) or a 9/16 socket. After drilling the hole, install the mounting bolt and washers and tighten with the regular nut. It should look like this:

Once that is done, you can secure the Strap Lock with the wing nut and medium washer.
