Pace-Edwards BedLocker Tonneau Cover …
“Motorized and Retractable”
Bedlocker tonneau cover ... Have
you ever seen a roll-top desk … the type featuring a paneled wooden cover that
can slide back and forth over the top of the desk, and, when closed,
conveniently hides the stored contents? Actually, when one thinks about it, a
roll-top desk also works similarly to the opening and closing of a garage door.
Pace-Edwards' BedLocker electric retractable tonneau cover operates much
like both the roll-top desk and the garage door. BedLocker’s blanket, or cover
material, is constructed of two inch wide, quarter inch thick, black
powder-coated aluminum panels that glide along heavy-duty side rails mounted to
the inside lip of both truck bed rails. Again, picture the garage door easily
and smoothly sliding into an open and out-of-the-way position. That’s also a
picture of how the BedLocker functions on your truck bed. The difference being,
the BedLocker top retracts into a 12 inch by 12 inch canister mounted at the
front of the truck bed. Out of sight but not out of mind.
Consider also that BedLocker is the only motor-driven retractable cover on the
tonneau market that opens and closes with the aid of a hand-held remote control.
It’s the ultimate in tonneau cover convenience. Contemplate this: your arms are
laden with bags of groceries as you leave the store and approach your truck.
What to do?
Simple.
Just click the button on your handy remote control and … voila! The BedLocker
cover fully retracts to an open position in just seconds.
But how does BedLocker handle harsh weather? Quite well, actually. To prevent
water from entering between the cover panels, Pace Edwards uses patented rubber
hinge-seals to connect the heavy-duty aluminum panels. Also, the cover is
designed not to freeze or collapse from snow. And again, the frame and panels
are made of heavy-duty aluminum with a black powder coat finish equating to
exceptional strength, security and style. The manufacturer has tested the cover
by placing 300 pounds of dead weight right in the center of the cover assembly
... without incident. Pace-Edwards is so confident in the BedLocker's
durability, they've included a standard 3-year warranty.
Pace Edwards custom-designed the BedLocker to fit the specific truck application
for which it was intended. This particular truck bed cover also sports a remote
cargo light to make it easy for you to see what you are doing in the evening
hours. Pace-Edwards claims you can install the BedLocker yourself within an
hour. It really depends on the individual's level of mechanical competency.
BedLocker retractable remote-controlled tonneau cover fully opens in less than
30 seconds. However, the remote control gives you the option to stop the cover
anywhere between the tailgate to the front of the bed.
Another convenient feature is the no-drill installation. You do not have to
drill any holes or do any cutting. It's a 100% clamp-on procedure.
But is it worth the twelve hundred-plus dollar price tag? It depends.
Some customers who purchased the BedLocker remote controlled tonneau cover were
impressed by the high-quality materials. Others said it was very secure with no
rattles. Some had difficulty with the included instructions, but were fine once
they spoke with Pace-Edwards helpful tech services department.
Some truck owners say that the BedLocker with its remote function is a waste of
money, while still others say it's the greatest convenience since sliced bread -
a great and practical idea. All the BedLocker owners with whom we spoke,
however, said the motorized retractable tonneau cover with the remote control by
Pace Edwards is a necessity that they would find hard to do without.
If you have some additional funds set aside and want to put the very best
retractable tonneau cover on your truck ... Pace-Edwards’ BedLocker is the
choice for you.
