Esmet says its Tufloc hinge-lock for utility, service and delivery vehicles is cast from 304 stainless steel to help resist corrosion, sawing, drilling, chiseling and hammering. Fasteners include high-strength, grade-5 carriage bolts and a stainless-steel central bolt; an electro-polish stainless-steel finish helps seal out the elements.
The bolt head is designed to rotate and has a tungsten carbide insert to help resist cutting at the locking point — so much so that saw attacks on the lock take longer than any other lock tested by the American Standards for Testing and Materials, the company says.
