Bootlock™ – Secure Ventilation for Dog Vehicles

The Bootlock™ is the perfect solution for safely increasing airflow in your vehicle when your dogs are resting in their cages. Its simple yet highly effective design allows you to leave your tailgate or rear barn doors slightly open while still securely locked, helping to improve ventilation and reduce internal vehicle temperatures.

An essential accessory for any dog vehicle owner.

The Bootlock™ is suitable for most cars and vans with tailgates or rear barn doors, as shown in the product images. We regularly use the Bootlock™ on vehicles including the VW Transporter, VW Caddy, and Ford Transit Custom with excellent results.

Please note:

• Bootlock™ is not compatible with Renault vehicles.
• Some vehicles fitted with multiple door sensors may not allow locking when the door is slightly open. This is uncommon but can occasionally occur 

Choosing the Right Bootlock™ Size

We offer four approximate sizes of Bootlock™:

• 4 Inch – 95mm
• 6 Inch – 170mm
• 9 Inch – 245mm
• 12 Inch – 335mm

Measurements are taken from the bottom of the bar to the end of the loop, excluding the threaded hook.

Which Size Should You Choose?

The best size depends on your environment and the level of airflow required.

• 4 Inch Bootlock™
  Ideal for wet or windy conditions where you still want ventilation without allowing too much rain into the vehicle.
• 6 Inch Bootlock™
  A great all-round option for public areas, offering good airflow while limiting access to the vehicle.
• 9 Inch & 12 Inch Bootlock™
  Perfect for warmer days, shows, training events, or secure environments where increased airflow is beneficial.

Many customers choose multiple sizes to suit different situations and weather conditions.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
BOOTLOCK™ fitting is quick and easy:

1. Select the hook type that best suits your vehicle.
2. Loosen the threaded hook and place it securely around the fixed striker bar / latch bar inside your boot or rear doors.
3. Tighten the BOOTLOCK™ clockwise until the hook is secure and cannot detach.
4. Gently close the tailgate or barn doors so the vehicle latch engages onto the hooped end of the BOOTLOCK™.
5. Most vehicles will click twice when fully engaged.
6. You can now lock and unlock your vehicle as normal whilst maintaining a secure ventilation gap.
