Truck and RV Hardware:
Engineered for the Road Ahead
For over 75 years, Zephyr Secure has engineered durable truck and RV hardware in the USA, supplying OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and upfitters across the automotive and transportation industries. Highway deicing accounts for about 41% of all salt consumed in the United States each year [Source: U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries 2024,] — road-salt exposure that, combined with constant vibration, is exactly what trucks and RVs subject onboard hardware to. Our high-performance locks, latches, and heavy-duty drawer slides are rated for load capacities up to 600 lb and built with stainless steel and corrosion-resistant coatings, so your equipment and cargo stay secure mile after mile.

How to Choose Truck and RV Hardware
- Assess the load and duty tier you need — Zephyr Secure’s drawer slides range up to a heavy-duty rating of 600 lb.
- Choose a corrosion-resistance grade — stainless steel and advanced coating options are available for hardware exposed to road salt and weather.
- Confirm the keying and access type required for your locks and latches, including cam locks, latches, and electromechanical options.
- Confirm your OEM or Tier 1 supply needs — Zephyr Secure supports both standard product lines and custom-manufactured truck body hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do your products withstand road vibration and weather?
Our truck and RV hardware is specifically engineered for mobile environments. We use robust materials and reinforced designs, and many of our latches feature compression mechanisms to eliminate rattle. We also offer stainless steel and advanced coating options for superior corrosion resistance.
Do you work directly with Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs?
Yes, we are an experienced partner for Tier 1 suppliers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). We understand the rigorous quality, supply chain, and support requirements of the automotive and transportation industries and have systems in place to be a reliable partner.
What Hardware Do I Need for a Truck Body?
A typical truck body build uses high-security locks and latches for toolboxes, compartments, and access panels; heavy-duty drawer slides rated up to 600 lb for mobile storage; and custom truck body hardware — including lockable hold-downs, rooftop carrier structural elements, and custom clamps — manufactured through die-casting, injection molding, or steel stamping. Zephyr Secure supplies all three categories as a single truck and RV hardware partner.
Heavy-Duty vs. Light-Duty Drawer Slides for RVs: Which Should I Choose?
The right choice depends on load: Zephyr Secure’s Light Duty drawer slides are rated for less than 140 lb, Medium Duty for 140 to 170 lb, and Heavy Duty for 170 to 600 lb. Lighter RV storage, such as smaller kitchen pull-outs, typically suits Light or Medium Duty slides, while tool drawers and heavier equipment trays call for Heavy-Duty slides rated up to 600 lb.
What Corrosion-Resistant Hardware Options Work Best for Trucks and RVs?
For hardware exposed to road salt and weather, Zephyr Secure offers stainless steel and advanced coating options across its locks, latches, and drawer slides — the same corrosion-resistance approach evaluated using industry test methods such as the ASTM B117 salt-spray standard referenced above. These options are available across our full range of truck and RV hardware, from high-security locks and latches to heavy-duty drawer slides.
