Here at Selectlok, our Midnight whale tails have been an industry favourite for years now with each iteration just as beloved as the previous.
However, we noticed there was a gap in the market, particularly on builds incorporating under body boxes and draws. The only options where to either use a full-sized whale tail which could be quite tight to fit and also rather unsightly on these smaller panels, or to mix and match products using the likes of a Compression latch or generic Folding T handle.
This is where the "MINI" V3 was born... With an approx. 30% smaller footprint than its full-sized brother yet still incorporating all of the same benefits and features it has been the obvious choice for canopy and service body builders looking to unify the visual aesthetics of their builds without sacrificing quality.
Why It’s Perfect for Your Builds:
- Compact Size: Ideal for under-body boxes and drawer setups, as well as main canopy doors on smaller Utes and dual cabs. Its 30% reduced size enhances functionality while fitting seamlessly into tight spaces.
- Stainless-Steel Shaft: With super strong stainless-steel main cam shaft, even if some low life tries to break into your enclosure by twisting the handle and shaft with a wrench, the handle becomes the weak point and not the internals of the lock itself unlike many alternatives on the market.
- Keyed Alike Options: Available in both high security half-euro profile cylinders as well as automotive barrels there are plenty of options to key alike with the full-sized V3 or to key uniquely.
- Premium Finish: Available in both a stunning Chrome Plating & Black EDP coating that not only looks great but also adds a layer of protection and is more resilient than traditional powder coatings.
- Optional Central Locking: The Mini V3 utilises the Same Central Locking units as it's full-sized brother, meaning that you can keep the inventory down.
- Cast-In Studs: The mounting studs on the V3 range are "cast-in" rather than simply a spot welded or tradtionally cast stud, offering greater strength and reliability.
Perfect for any toolbox or canopy setup, the V3 "MINI" combines practicality with style, making it a top choice for modern vehicle builds.
