VI. Installing the Tri-Lock gun rack (Requires Pro-gard self-supporting mounting base)
A. Place the intended guns into the gun rack and make adjustments to t. This will allow more access
than when the rack is in the vehicle, but the rack can be adjusted after installed inside the vehicle
as well.
B. The brackets mounting the gun lock are designed to be loosened and adjusted in many directions
to accommodate most guns. Fit each gun by loosening the bolts on the gun lock bracketry so the
mounting bracket moves freely. Place your gun into the lock and in the desired position. Take an
allen wrench to tighten locks in place. (See Fig. 3)
C. Shot Gun Mounting - The shot gun can be mounted in two ways, by barrel mount or by installation
of the shot gun mount insert. To install the shot gun insert, remove the standard insert by opening
the lock and unscrewing the two insert bolts with an allen wrench. Remove the retaining ring from
the bolt’s back side. Replace with shot gun insert (3G724) and reinstall insert bolts and retaining
rings on the back side of the insert. Use the two fastener bolt’s adjustment to t the shot gun used
in the lock. (See Fig. 4)

supporting stand, loosely attach the gun rack and
adjust it and the butt plates as necessary from
front to back. (See Fig. 5)
VIII. Lock Box
A. Open the lock box and loosen the bolts with a
7/16” socket and extension wrench to adjust the
box up or down as needed. (Swivel attachment
is required) Install supplied black felt over bolts
when box position has been xed. (See Fig. 6)

IX. Gun lock switch and timer installation
A. We suggest mounting the momentary release button in a concealed location that can be easily
reached by the o󰀩cer, but would be hidden in case an unauthorized entry occurs.
B. Connect the gun lock wiring as shown in the diagram below.
Pro-gard requires the use of a 10 AMP fuse between the power source and gun lock circuit
or the warranty will be voided!
X. Lock Head Operating Instructions
A. To release, grasp the weapon, but do not pull it against the lid of the gun lock.
B. While depressing and holding the release button (momentary switch), push and then
pull the weapon towards the lid of the gun lock to release it from the lock.
One handed operation is possible utilizing the optional 8 second timer. The timer will unlock
the lock for 8 seconds following activation of the momentary switch. If the gun is not pulled
out of the lock within 8 seconds after activation of the momentary switch, the lock will
automatically re-lock.
If lid of the lock does not release, press in on the lid to release tension and reactivate the
release button (unless timer is still active).
Installation complete!
If you have any problems with this installation please call the toll free number
