How does the Bedlocker work?  The Bedlocker is powered by an electric motor in the canister that opens and closes the cover along rails fastened to the truck bed via a remote control.
What is the Bedlocker made of?  The Bedlocker is manufactured out of heavy gauge extruded aluminum panels with a black textured powder coat finish for increased strength and durability that are fastened together with a patented silicone hinge seal.
Will the cover keep the truck bed dry? What about ice and snow?  The Bedlocker is designed so that water collected on the top is carried to the canister. Drain tubes located at the base of the canister then take the water outside the truck, to help keep your truck bed dry. Water cannot pass through the silicone hinge sealed top, however water may intrude into the bed via components that are not part of the cover such as the tailgate, stake pockets, etc. These components require proper sealing during installation. We do not claim that our covers are 100% waterproof. Be very cautious if a manufacturer says that their retractable cover is 100% waterproof.  Snow should be swept off of the cover with a broom before operating the cover otherwise you will end up with the snow in the truck bed and the canister box. Ice can be removed by taking your hand and smacking the cover as close to the middle as possible this will cause a vibration in the cover that breaks up the ice making it easy to remove. Do not use anything but your hand for this.
Is the cover hard to install? How long will installation take?  The installation of the Bedlocker is relatively easy. The most time consuming part of the installation is the running of the wire harness down the frame rail of the truck. As for the electrical part you will just be connecting the positive (red) wire and the negative (black) wire directly to the battery. Installation should take under 1 hour for the professional and 1½-2 hours for a first time installer.  See the installation tab for addtional information
How does the Bedlocker lock?  The Bedlockers electromagnetic brake system locks the cover automatically in any position.
Will the cover improve my gas mileage? How?  Your gas mileage should improve between 7% and 10% on the highway, with the cover closed on the bed (except when towing). A university study shows substantial gas mileage improvement whenever the box of a pickup is covered.  See below the attached PDF of the press release information on gas mileage savings.  Input from customers and our own experience bear out the accuracy of this claim.
Will the cover work with my bedliner?  The rails on our cover are designed to fasten directly on the sill of the truck bed. If you have a bedliner that covers the sill, modification will be required. Most under-the-rail bedliners are more easily fitted with our cover, but may also require modification near the front corners. See below the attached Bedliner Modification sheet.
Is there a warranty on the Bedlocker?  Yes, there is a three-year factory defect warranty on all parts. See Pace-Edwards Warranty information for complete details.
What do I do if I accidentally get caught between the blanket and the tailgate?  The controller is programmed to not set the brake for 5 seconds after the blanket comes to a stop. This 5 second pause will give you time to push the cover away enough to eliminate pinching yourself. (You will need to push very hard to move it).
How much weight will my cover hold, can I walk on it?  Your BedLocker is not weight rated for load carrying. It is able to hold a substantial amount of weight especially if it’s evenly distributed such as a snow load.  If you would like to carry something above your cover please see our ExplorerSeries Rails and Racks.
Can a garage door opener operate my cover?  The BedLocker uses a rolling code to secure your cover. This gives you approximately 7 million random codes that change each time you push the button. It would be unlikely that a random garage door opener could open your cover.
Does my engine have to be running to operate the cover?  No your cover will operate on battery only however, you will notice that it does run slightly faster with the engine running. The controller will not operate if the amperage draw falls below 10.5 amps. This will still allow you to crank the engine.
Is a cab-mounted toggle switch available?  Yes, you can purchase a toggle switch kit that plugs directly into the controllers extra pigtail which will allow you to operate the cover with the flick of a switch.
Bedlocker Care and Maintenance:  After installation, if the cover is tight or hard to open and close, the shimming may need to be redone.   Drain tubes may become clogged over time and should be removed and cleaned. Periodically remove the top cover and clean out the canister.  To help keep the Bedlocker retractable tonneau cover looking its best, we recommend washing it the same as caring for your truck finish. However due to the hammer texture, removal of wax can be difficult so you should not wax your cover.Associated Documents
