With standard tiedowns anyone can walk up to your roof racks and remove your kayak or board without attracting attention. Unfortunately it is that easy for someone to steal your gear from your roof racks. They simply pretend they own your car untie your regular straps and your boards or kayaks are gone in under 10 seconds. This is a major concern when parking at the beach river shops cafe or camping ground and leaving your car unattended. Kanulock Lockable Tiedowns stop opportunistic theft. A thief cannot simply walk off with your board or kayak the buckles can be locked securely by a key your board or kayak cannot be slid out the straps are reinforced with stainless steel cables and can't be cut by a knife. Kanulocks are a great theft deterrent. Kanulock Lockable Tiedowns are so simple to use -- they work exactly the same way as a regular set of tiedowns with the added benefits of being able to lock and being uncuttable by knife. Includes 2 x straps 2 x keys.
