Service Trucks International (STI) of Sioux Center, Iowa, the manufacturer of Eagle Pro service and lube bodies, has unveiled its new cabinet auto-locking system for service trucks.

The cabinet auto-locking system allows users to lock or unlock all the cabinet doors of their service body by pressing a single button on an electronic key fob. If needed, the cabinet’s key allows for the manual override of the system.

The cabinet auto-locking system is bolt-on, which fits around the handle using the existing handle hardware and locking mechanism. The system can be added to new or existing trucks with a large “D” handle and blind stud mounts.
