Keep that Cargo safe with a Tailgate Lock from Pop & Lock. These It locks into place behind your tailgate handle, blocking anyone without the key from getting inside. The Pop & Lock mounts in minutes without any drilling. Plus, the Pop & Lock Tailgate Locks are raised for easy use and minimized pinch risk.
The handle in this tailgate lock has a very small "pin" that moves the mechanism to unlatch the tail gate. To make it worse, the plastic used in the Pon N Lock was all cracking. Of course, a tiny pin used as the connection point between the tailgate mechanism and the handle is a poor design choice and it failed. The failure mode is you can't open the gate when the pin breaks and it will break. I had mine break with a cover on the back of the truck resulting in all my luggage being trapped in the back. This failure is VERY common -- just read the reviews on Amazon!
Had to modify the tailgate and rods to make it work, but it does the job.
It fits fine install is pretty straight forward Hope it last a long time
Works ok. Made of all plastic so it isn't really going to stop someone who wants to open your tailgate. Unfortunately there aren't many options for older trucks to choose from.
Fitment and installation was a breeze but I put 3 stars because even when it’s locked, I can still open the tailgate.
Was lost during shipping. I had to call to get it back on track. Paint is already chipping. Not really a pyrite mica. Feel like I should’ve ordered the plain black. Don’t wanna deal with it. I’ll probably just paint it black. But........... it locks so hooray!!
