I find it hard to believe there are 4, I have been able to open compartments on every thing I've tried it on. When you drop your rig for service almost anywhere they usually don't want your keys, they just say don't lock your deadbolt. The locks are mostly just to keep honest people honest, not to keep out thieves.

I think I will wait for new tires before I use them.:)
If you get new, great, USA made tires for your rig, the distances between tires may change and you will need to get new wedgies for your choks. They are about $60.00 as I recall from about three years ago. Just something to think about.

Can somebody post more detailed photos of Roto-chocks?
I've looked at their website, but the photo is a little vague.
Do they use a strap to tighten?

There is a strap that is between the chocks you use a pin type handle supplied with the chocks to tighten them up.

I just purchased the Roto Choks, they are great. I had never heard of them until I joined this site. They sure are better than anything else that I have seen. Oh yes talked to Pearl so long that she had to call back to get the card number. Thanks everyone.
