PACK RAT® Security & Locks
Built to Protect What You’ve Earned
How secure is PACK RAT?
WEATHER GUARD® PACK RAT® drawer systems are built from reinforced steel and feature a heavy-duty locking latch with 1KEY ULTRALOCK™ compatibility, providing significantly higher theft resistance than plastic or light duty drawer systems.
When your truck is unattended, PACK RAT works to keep your tools where they belong.
Security Built for the Real World
Tools aren’t just equipment—they’re an investment and a reflection of your reputation. PACK RAT security is designed for real jobsite conditions, where vehicles are often parked overnight, left unattended, or exposed to opportunistic theft.
This isn’t consumer grade lockup.
It’s professional grade protection.
Steel Construction: The First Line of Defense
PACK RAT® Advantage
- 14 gauge reinforced steel drawer and housing
- 12 gauge steel skids
- Rigid structure resists prying, bending, and forced entry
Plastic Drawer Systems
- Easier to flex, crack, or pry open
- Locks often mounted in plastic housings
- Reduced resistance once compromised
Security starts with structure. Steel doesn’t give thieves easy leverage—and that matters.
Heavy-duty Latch Design
PACK RAT drawers are secured with a robust latch system designed to:
- Hold drawers closed during transport
- Prevent accidental opening on hills or uneven terrain
- Resist forced entry when locked
When locked, the latch engages tightly, helping protect tools from both movement and theft.
1KEY ULTRALOCK™ Compatibility
PACK RAT is compatible with WEATHER GUARD® 1KEY ULTRALOCK™, allowing one key to operate multiple WEATHER GUARD storage products across a truck or fleet.
Why 1KEY ULTRALOCK™ Matters
- Fewer keys to manage
- Faster access on the job
- Consistent security across storage systems
- Ideal for fleets and multi vehicle setups
PACK RAT can be keyed to match existing WEATHER GUARD products, including:
- Saddle boxes
- All-purpose chests
- Lo-side boxes
- Wheel well boxes
Important: Locks can only be coded once. Changing the key code requires lock replacement.
Theft Deterrence by Design
No lock is theft proof—but PACK RAT is built to slow thieves down, increase effort, and reduce opportunity.
Security advantages include:
- Steel construction instead of plastic
- Internal latch engagement
- Tight drawer tolerances
- Integrated locking system
Most theft is opportunistic. PACK RAT makes your truck a harder target.
Can PACK RAT Be Re-Keyed?
Yes. PACK RAT can be keyed to match other WEATHER GUARD® products using 1KEY ULTRALOCK™.
If a lock needs to be changed after programming, the lock assembly must be replaced.
Registering your PACK RAT allows WEATHER GUARD to retain key code information for easier replacement support if keys are lost.
Lost Keys or Replacement Parts
If keys are lost or a lock needs replacement:
- Replacement keys and lock assemblies are available
- Contact your distributor or WEATHER GUARD support
- Have your model and serial number ready
This ensures the correct components are supplied quickly and accurately.
Security Without Sacrificing Access
PACK RAT security is designed to protect tools without slowing you down.
- Smooth drawer operation even when locked and loaded
- One handed access with key
- No complicated locking procedures
Because security only works if it gets used.
How PACK RAT Compares to Plastic Drawer Security
| Feature | PACK RAT® | Plastic Drawer Systems |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Reinforced steel | Molded plastic |
| Lock Housing | Steel | Plastic |
| Latch Strength | Heavy duty | Light duty |
| Key Integration | 1KEY ULTRALOCK™ | Limited |
| Theft Resistance | High | Low to moderate |
Security isn’t about looking tough—it’s about staying reliable when you’re not around.
PACK RAT protects:
- Your tools
- Your time
- Your reputation
Plastic drawers store gear.
PACK RAT protects livelihoods.
