Tonneau Covers

Have you ever seen a retracting desk top ... the variety featuring a wood paneled lid that slides back and forth over the desk top, and, when shut, conveniently encloses the stored contents? In reality, when one thinks about it, a retracting desk top also works similarly to the opening and closing of a garage door.Pace-Edwards' BedLocker retracting tonneu cover functions much like both the retractable desk top and garage door. BedLocker's blanket, or cover material, is made of two inch wide, quarter inch thick, black powder-coated metal panels that glide along heavyweight side rails anchored to the inside lip of both truck bed rails. And again, imagine garage door freely and smoothly sliding into an open and out-of-the-way setting. That, too, is a picture of how the BedLocker functions on your pickup truck bed. The variation being, the BedLocker surface retracts into a 12 inch by 12 inch aluminum container fastened at the front of the pickup truck bed. Out of sight but not out of mind.
