Kanulock 5.4m / 18ft Lockable Tie-Down Straps

The Kanulock 5.4m / 18ft Lockable Tie-Down Straps are the longest option in the Kanulock range, providing the extra length needed to secure stand up paddleboards, kayaks, multiple surfboards and larger roof-rack loads while adding an effective deterrent against opportunistic theft.

Unlike conventional roof-rack straps, Kanulock combines key-lockable buckles with stainless-steel reinforced straps, allowing you to secure your equipment for transport and then lock it to your roof racks when you leave your vehicle.

Lock Your Gear to Your Roof Racks

Regular tie-down straps keep your equipment secure while driving, but they offer very little protection once your vehicle is unattended.

Kanulock adds a key-operated locking mechanism to the buckle. Once your SUP, kayak or surfboards are strapped down, lock the buckles to help prevent someone simply undoing the straps and removing your equipment.

The straps are also reinforced with stainless-steel cables, making them resistant to being quickly cut with a knife. The reinforcement also prevents boards or kayaks simply being slid out from underneath the locked straps.

5.4m / 18ft for Larger Loads

At 5.4 metres / 18 feet long, this is the largest of Kanulock's four tie-down sizes.

The extra length makes this version particularly useful when you're transporting:

• Stand up paddleboards
• Inflatable SUPs
• Kayaks
• Multiple surfboards
• Longboard surfboards
• Multiple boards stacked together
• Wide or bulky outdoor equipment
• Larger roof-rack and trailer loads

If you regularly carry more than a single surfboard, the additional length gives you considerably more flexibility when loading your vehicle.

Stainless-Steel Reinforced Security

The key advantage of Kanulock is the stainless-steel reinforcement running through the straps.

A conventional fabric tie-down can be quickly cut with a knife. Kanulock's reinforced construction is designed specifically to prevent this type of opportunistic theft.

Once the buckles are locked, your equipment can't simply be unstrapped, cut free with a knife or slid out from underneath the straps.

Easy to Use

Despite the added security, Kanulock straps are designed to work much like normal roof-rack tie downs.

Load your equipment, run the straps around the gear and roof racks, tension them through the buckles and then lock the buckles using the supplied keys.

This gives you the simplicity of conventional roof-rack straps with the additional security of a lockable system.

Reduced Wind Noise

The stainless-steel reinforcement provides another useful benefit: less wind noise than a regular tie-down strap. Kanulock specifically identifies reduced wind noise as one of the advantages of its design.

That's particularly useful with the longer 5.4m straps when you're travelling greater distances with SUPs, kayaks or multiple boards on the roof.

Why You'll Love Them

The Kanulock 5.4m Lockable Tie-Down Straps are the option I'd choose when you need maximum length and versatility.

At 5.4 metres, there's plenty of strap available for wider or taller loads, making them particularly useful for SUPs, kayaks and multiple surfboards. Kanulock's size range is specifically designed to accommodate loads ranging from individual boards through to multiple kayaks.

More importantly, you're getting considerably more security than a standard roof-rack strap. Lockable buckles and stainless-steel reinforcement make it much harder for someone to simply undo or cut the straps and walk away with your equipment.

For anyone looking for long lockable tie down straps in New Zealand, particularly for transporting SUPs, kayaks or multiple surfboards, the Kanulock 5.4m / 18ft is the heavy-duty length in the range.
