When we think about South Africa we can’t help but automatically think, braai, biltong and “The Big Five”. And when we look around us on the roads, it’s clear to see that we South Africans love our “bakkies”. Yes, the 4×4 “bakkie” is a fan favourite, not only because we have to navigate all the potholes on the roads, but also because we love to go to the bush for a quiet, relaxing getaway.
Although canopies for 4×4 vehicles have been around for decades, they have certainly evolved into more than just a protective covering that acts like a car trunk. These days the sophistication and versatility of the canopy designs, means that you can literally purchase an accessory for your 4×4 that functions like a tiny house. The convenience these innovative designs have brought to the camping, off-roading and overland enthusiast are unparalleled.
Although more is definitely better in this case, it does not always mean easier. With endless features and many more canopy hatches that can hide everything from tiny kitchens to survival gear, it does come with a few snags. Custom canopies can have anywhere from 8 to up to 16 hatches that have to be manually unlocked and locked with a key, a tedious and long-winded process. And hopefully that key has a spare in case “Ricky Louw” decides to pull a prank.

Enter the Electronic Canopy Locking System. With a touch of a button, your canopy hatches function on the same principle as your vehicles central locking system. But is it easy to install and secure and how exactly does it work? Let’s take a closer look at some of the features of the Canopy Electronic Locking System and how it can benefit you.
How does it work?
The central locking system seamlessly integrates with the push locks, creating a harmonious operation that eliminates the hassle of manual key use. This innovative setup enhances convenience, reliability, and security.
With this configuration, there’s no need to lug around a bulky key ring, as it pairs effortlessly with the sleek key fob. A simple press on the fob instantly unlocks the entire system, giving you the freedom to choose which specific locks to open.
After approximately 15 seconds, any push locks that remain unopened will automatically secure themselves, ensuring your peace of mind. Once you’ve finished unloading, another press of the button will efficiently lock all remaining locks, simplifying your routine with just a touch.
