Good basic trunk lock

lock of decent quality. It won't stop a thief, but there's no such lock. Keeps curious people out of the back of your truck. Easy installation. Takes up most of the tailgate handle but still didn't bother.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • There are cons

Great Product: Tailgate Latches

Works as well as the last one I bought on another car. A little tricky to install if you don't have a removable inside gate panel that both cars have. The adhesive is very strong and the ear tips hold the device securely in place.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Slightly Torn

Not suitable for trucks Body and trunk accessories

The first day before work an hour of sunlight, had to stop by immediately, couldn't cope with wooden clothes, cut my finger there, finally pulled out again and said ok Today I'm taking the rear tailgate off and I don't know if the handle is as it stands unless he's worked on it for almost 2 hours trying to adjust it every way he can and the handle just won't close will junk his 2005 ram return

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

A secure lock that doesn't always fit or is easy to install

It's nice to have a lockable tailgate with a new folding trunk that doesn't lock. Installation was difficult, even with workarounds. It still looks misaligned and takes a good swipe to snap into place as it sticks and doesn't pull back or snap into place on its own. Dodge RAM 1500. After a year later, it's rusty but still works well, the latch still won't close without hitting the handle, causing the tailgate to fall off several times while driving.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Working speed

Works well if you take your time installing it.

I removed the rear tailgate panel (with power it only takes a minute) and fitted it first before removing the 3M tape. I'm glad I did. I had to adjust my ears a bit to get some clearance. Once I was sure it fit, I wiped the inside of the handle with an alcohol swab and wiped with a clean cloth. I inserted it, laying my ears aside on either end to secure it, then pressed it firmly against where the tape was. I took off the stupid sticker, looks like a stick lock. Works perfectly. I have a…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Only available in white

Whole assembly looks great

Whole assembly looks great, lock turns easily and seems difficult to pick. The highlights, both good and bad, are listed below: - Installation was easy but can be a little tricky if you're not very mechanical. I ended up removing the tailgate trim to make sure the tabs lined up properly and bent it a bit more to make it harder to fall out or rip out. The only downside I found was that the backing of the 3M adhesive was quite difficult to remove, I ended up taking half the tape with me…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Something different

Want to see your back door on someone else's truck? I do not think so.

I don't want a bag full of dirt getting around my tailgate on his truck. So I took the usual precautions, like flip-up tailgate latches and this tailgate latch. Now I'm realistic enough to know that a determined professional will defeat my defenses, but optimistic that they will stop an adventurous thief. . I had to remove the tailgate access panel and "motivate" the metal tab on one side until it snapped into place. I then bent the metal tabs slightly to ensure full engagement as intended…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Negative gift

Fits perfectly! Looks good.

I really like this lock. It's a bit pricey, but you pay for the quality and the personal touch. It feels solid, and it feels like the plastic on the tailgate latch will snap before the latch does. I think this will be more than enough for my needs. I didn't bother to use tape as it fits very well. I just lifted the latch handle, wiggled the lock at the bottom, and it clicked into place. It couldn't be much easier. It doesn't look like it will fall out during normal use, but if it did I would…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Fits

No Fort Knox and a good punk stop

So it won't make your truck as secure as a factory lock but it will certainly deter those punks looking for an opportunity to commit a crime. I spend a lot of time in remote areas hunting and hiking, and I stow most of my gear under the sleeping platform in the back of my truck. Now my RV is locked, but even when locked, a sharp tug opens the back door. To solve this problem, I'm trying to find a way to park when my truck is nailed to a tree. This little device has saved me so much trouble…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • no
