FCS KanuLock Tie-Down Straps

Yes, the KanuLock straps are designed to work with most standard roof rack crossbars. They loop around the bar and tighten down like a traditional cam strap, making them compatible with both factory and aftermarket rack systems.

While the internal stainless steel cables add security, the straps remain flexible enough to cinch down tight against your board or kayak. They handle just like standard webbing straps, ensuring you can get a secure fit without damaging your gear.

The integrated stainless steel cables are designed to deter opportunistic theft by making it difficult to cut the straps with a standard knife. While no lock is impenetrable, these provide a significant layer of security that standard nylon straps simply cannot offer.

Each strap is 13 feet (4 meters) long, which is generally sufficient for securing a single kayak or a stack of two to three surfboards. If you are transporting a very wide load, it is worth measuring your rack setup to ensure you have enough length to loop around the gear comfortably.

The buckle assembly is designed with a protective casing to minimize contact with your vehicle's paint or your board's surface. However, as with any tie-down system, it is good practice to place the buckle carefully and avoid letting it slap against the car during the tightening process.
