Templates

Thunderbolt offers downloadable templates designed for a wide range of vehicles, primarily based on late-model vans. While these templates are a helpful starting point, they may not perfectly match your specific vehicle. However, the universal design of our locks means they can be installed in various locations on your vehicle, as long as the deadbolt can securely engage with the strike hole.

Lock Conversion Relays (LCRs)

Many vans are at risk of theft through a simple method: a thief breaks the front window, opens the door, and presses the unlock button to gain access to the cargo area. If your van is vulnerable to this tactic, Thunderbolt Locks offers a reliable solution with our Lock Conversion Relays. Once installed, these relays ensure that the unlock button in the cab only functions when the key is in the ignition, adding an extra layer of security to protect your valuable cargo. Watch the videos below to learn more.

NOTE: We do not believe the Mercedes is vulnerable, however, you can test your van by following the procedure in the video below.
