Master Lock 8255DAT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long and how thick is the cable on the Master Lock 8255DAT cable lock?
The 8255DAT runs an 8 foot (2.4m) steel cable at 3/8 inch (10mm) diameter. That length is what lets you run it through several items at once rather than securing a single point, and the 10mm gauge is the working difference between it and the thin coil cables used on bikes.
2) Can one cable lock secure several tools or items together?
Yes, that is what the 8255DAT is built for. It can be used to lock one or multiple items, and the 8 foot cable gives you enough run to loop through a group of tools, a generator and a trailer frame, or a ladder and a rack, then bring both ends back to the body.
3) Is this cable lock suitable for a job box or gang box on a work site?
Tools, job boxes and gang boxes are a stated application for the 8255DAT, along with trailers, trucks and towing. Worth knowing before you spec it for a fleet: Master Lock classes it as a residential-duty product, so for a facility standardizing on commercial-grade security hardware it is a supplement to a proper hasp and padlock, not a replacement for one.
4) Will several Master Lock 8255DAT locks open with the same key if I buy more than one?
No. The 8255DAT is keyed different, so each lock ships with its own unique key and one key will not open the next. If you are buying a handful for different trucks or crews that is usually what you want. If you need one key across all of them, keyed different is the wrong configuration and you should be sourcing a keyed alike set instead.
5) What does a multi-point sliding body mean on a cable lock?
The body on the 8255DAT slides along the cable instead of sitting at a fixed point, so you can cinch the loop down to whatever you are securing rather than leaving slack for a pry bar or a cutter to work in. Multi-point means the body captures the cable at more than one place when locked.
6) How do you store an 8 foot cable lock in a truck when it is not in use?
The 8255DAT has an integrated cable wrap so the 8 feet coils onto the body itself, plus a magnetic side that holds it to a steel toolbox, truck bed rail, or job box wall. There is also onboard key storage, so the key does not live loose in a console.
7) Does this cable lock hold up outdoors on a trailer or truck bed?
The body is stainless steel and there is a keyway cover that shields the lock mechanism from corrosion, which is the part that fails first on outdoor cable locks that sit exposed to road salt and rain. It is rated by the manufacturer as a residential product, so treat it accordingly on long-term exposed installs.
8) What is push to lock on a cable lock and why does it matter?
On the 8255DAT you push the cable end into the body to lock it, no key turn required to secure. Master Lock calls out that this helps prevent false locking, meaning the lock will not appear latched when the cable is not actually captured. That is the failure that costs people equipment, so it matters more than it sounds.
9) Does the 8255DAT cable lock need to be mounted or drilled to anything?
No drilling or mounting. The 8255DAT installs in minutes: you loop the cable through what you are securing and around a fixed anchor, then push the end into the sliding body. Nothing bolts to the vehicle or the box, so it moves between trucks or crews without any prep work.
