LOCKS
This box has code-able locks installed. These locks have no pre-set key code,

will “learn” the code of the first key that the lock is coded with (See CODING
THE LOCKS below).
One pair of identical keys will be provided per box.
If you have multiple boxes with code-able locks, you can:
-
Code each of the boxes with a single key.
OR -
Code each box or set of boxes with their own set of keys.
Any new additional boxes with code-able locks can be coded with the keys from
your original box.
Register your box and key code at weatherguard.com, and keep personal record
of your key code, as there is no way to determine your key code should you
lose your keys.
Extra sets of keys can be purchased by contacting one of the following:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
- If the truck is fitted with a plastic drop-in bed liner, it may need to be drilled, trimmed or cut for proper installation of truck box
- Truck box cover may not properly latch until box is fully bolted to truck bed in (4) places
- Because truck bed configurations vary, (8) mounting slots have been provided, to ensure the use of (4) mounting clamps
- Periodically check tightness of mounting clamps to ensure proper attachment
- Use touch-up paint on any drill holes to prevent oxidation
STEP 1 – Locate Box in Truck Bed
Place box into position on top of the bed rails. Use ruler to ensure box is
centered in truck bed and that cover opens fully without interference.
ALUMINUM TRUCK BED INSTALLATION:
If you drill holes into an aluminum truck bed to use through bolts or J-bolts, use zinc rich primer (not included) to coat the holes before assembly.
STEP 2 – Attach Box to Truck Bed
Attach mounting clamps, bolts, washers and nuts as shown in figure to the
right, torquing the nut to 5 ft. lbs. Start with the slot at driver side front
and work clock-wise until all four clamps have been installed. One clamp
should be installed in each of the 4 corners of the box for the most secure
installation.
LOCK SYSTEM
The WEATHER GUARD® 1KEY ULTRALOCK ™ Lock is designed to provide maximum
security, while providing ease of use and years of reliable service. When the
button is pressed in the unlock mode, the latches are activated and the cover
opens.
LOCK
Turn the key counterclockwise to the locked position as indicated on the lock
bezel. When the button is now pressed, it will stay in the retracted or
tamper-resistant position until unlocked
UNLOCK
Turn the key clockwise to the unlocked position as indicated on the lock
bezel. Button will pop out and is now ready to release the latches when
pressed.
LATCH SYSTEM
The WEATHER GUARD® Latch System utilizes automotive grade latches in
conjunction with high strength latch strikers to ensure maximum security. The
WEATHER GUARD® Latch System is designed to open with a single touch of the
button, and close securely. Expect years of reliable service from the WEATHER
GUARD® Latch System with only minimal maintenance: Lubricate latch pivot
points bi-annually with white grease. If latch strikers are accidentally
knocked out of alignment, simply use a mallet to re-align.

grommet for easy electrical accessory fit-ups. To use, simply cut along one or
