Video Transcript for Review of Pop and Lock Vehicle Locks - Truck Bed Storage Box Lock - PAL5220

Ellen: Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and today we're going to be taking a look at the pop and lock storage lock conversion kit. This allows you to convert one of your storage boxes to a locking box. That way you can stash any kind of stuff in there, maybe some tools, maybe climbing gear or any kind of little accessories inside that storage compartment and actually lock it. That way nobody can take them out and run away with them. So we can do that pretty easily.

Just takes a couple tools to get this installed. You do have to do a little bit of drilling just into that door to get the four bolts in place, but it's really straightforward, really easy, and something that you can definitely do in about 20 minutes.So we can take a closer look at what comes in the kit. You'll get this metal stiffening plate. This is going to be a steel plate and that's going to go on the back of that door to give it some more stiffness and a solid feel to it or solidarity. Is that the word I'm looking for The lock core goes on the outside.

We'll have a new cam to go on the back of that and then our hardware for getting this lock in place is going to be this little C clip. So it goes around the face there. And then we'll also have a washer to put in place before this cam.Now whenever you're taking this apart or getting this installed, you do need to take one of the cams off from your original lid and you're going to reuse the screw from that. So don't throw it away because it's what is going to hold this lock and cam together. So you will need to reuse that little screw to go back there.

That's the only thing you need to worry about with that. And then, again, use this as a template to drill out your holes for the lid there and then you get the included screws that are going to go through, hold that in place and corresponding nuts.Lock core comes to two keys. Pretty straight forward there. This is going to be a fit for the 2005 through 2015 Toyota Tacoma. So if your truck is within that range, should be a good fit for you.

This can be keyed alike with your tailgate lock, the lock that fits your Toyota Tacoma. There's a lot of different locking cores, so you can get that keyed to like if you already have one of those. If not, no worries.That's pretty much all there is to it for our pop and lock keyed locking lid conversion kit. I think it's going to be a really easy way to create another safe storage area in your Toyota Tacoma. Those little storage compartments are really nice. They're already built into your truck, but now you can actually have one of them be secured with a key and lock. So definitely an easy upgrade for your truck. Well, I hope this video's been helpful in deciding if this is the right piece for you. Again, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
