This document provides installation instructions for a Security Deck Enclosure, model MMR.20057, manufactured by Hooke Road. This product is designed to create a secure storage compartment within a vehicle, likely a Jeep Wrangler given the visual cues in the installation photos.

Function Description:
The Security Deck Enclosure serves as a lockable storage area, effectively converting the rear cargo space of a vehicle into a secure compartment.
