Master Lock 8252DAT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Master Lock 8252DAT ladder rack lock fit round ladder rack tubing, or only square?
Both. The 8252DAT ships with adapters for 1.5 inch (38mm) round, 1.5 inch (38mm) square, 1.75 inch (44mm) square, and 1 inch (25mm) by up to 2 inch (51mm) rectangular racks. Measure the rail you plan to clamp to before ordering, because those four adapter profiles are the full range it covers. A rail outside those sizes, say a 2 inch round tube, is not something this collar closes on.
2) Does the 8252DAT ladder rack lock come with a cable or chain to secure the ladder?
No cable or chain is included. The 8252DAT is the locking point itself, a stainless steel collar and lock body that clamps to the rack rail and gives you something to lock to. You supply the cable or chain that goes around the ladder or cargo, and it is meant to be used that way.
3) If I buy several 8252DAT ladder rack locks for a fleet, will they all take the same key?
No. The 8252DAT is keyed different, so every unit comes with its own key. Order a dozen for a dozen trucks and your crews carry a dozen different keys. If you want one key to open every rack in the fleet, a keyed alike ladder rack lock is the version to ask for, not this one.
4) Will a ladder rack lock like the 8252DAT hold up to weather and road salt on a work van?
The collar, lock and mounting hardware are stainless steel, and a keyway cover shields the cylinder from corrosion, which is the part that usually fails first on an outdoor lock. Master Lock classes the 8252DAT as residential grade, so it is a deterrent lock for a van or trailer rack rather than a high security fleet spec.
5) Can I use the 8252DAT locking point on a job box or truck box instead of a ladder rack?
Yes. Master Lock lists it for trailers, trucks and towing, tools, job boxes and gang boxes, and truck boxes. The limit is not the application, it is the shape you are clamping to: the collar has to close on a round, square or rectangular member within the supplied adapter sizes. If there is no rail or tube to wrap, this is not the right part.
6) Does mounting a ladder rack lock require drilling into the rack?
No drilling. The 8252DAT clamps on with a collar and the adapter that matches your rail profile, and installs in minutes with the hardware supplied. Nothing is welded or bored, so it comes off a leased or fleet vehicle without leaving a hole.
7) What does push to lock mean on the 8252DAT ladder rack lock?
You push the body shut to lock it, no key turn needed to secure. The point of it is preventing a false lock, where the crew thinks the ladder is secured and it is only resting closed. Key goes in for opening. On a busy site where a ladder gets pulled six times a day, that is the difference between a habit that works and one that quietly fails.
