Don't let thieves steal your cargo or tailgate. This ABS plastic tailgate handle has a keyed, steel tailgate lock, and the lock cylinder can be keyed to match your truck key. This handle replaces OEM handle. Great for tonneaus or camper shells.
Features:
Replace your existing factory tailgate handle with this ABS plastic tailgate handle that has a built-in lock. The lock mechanism is made of sturdy, armored steel to resist tampering. The black handle and trim around the lock complement your vehicle's trim and give you a straight-from-the-factory look. The lock is raised slightly for convenient key access and to help prevent your fingers from being pinched. And it installs easily using basic tools - no welding or drilling is necessary.
Are you tired of carrying a bulky ring of keys - for your hitch lock and coupler lock, your pickup cover or trailer door, and all the various padlocks securing your equipment?
BOLT (Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology) has solved that problem by designing a line of locks that can operate with a key you already have handy - your vehicle ignition key.
When you insert your own key into the cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down until they are matched exactly to that key. The first time the key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. When the key is turned again, it will rotate to the unlocked position.
A new tailgate can cost you hundreds - the Pop & Lock saves you the cost and aggravation of replacing a stolen tailgate.

Ellen: Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to be taking a quick look at the Pop-and-Lock manual locking handle for your truck. This allows you to replace the existing handle in your truck so that you can operate it with a lock. If you have a tonneau cover or a cap going over your bed, this makes it really nice. You can secure your items in there, protect them from anybody walking off with them and keep everything nice and tidy. This is the metallic blue ribbon color.
So it should match up with your vehicle if you had that same color. So you get a closer look and make sure that that is a match and talk a little bit about how that lock works.So this is the BOLT lock, and basically what happens is whenever you take this sticker off and you put in your ignition key, it's going to code to that key, so you can use that to open and close the lock. You want to make sure that you use the key that you're going to be using every day so that it operates more easily. You don't want to be using the spare to code the lock, and once you code it, it can't be changed. So keep that in mind as well.
It can only be done once, so no practice runs. But it just matches right up to your original hardware. It's going to use the same mechanism to operate the lock or the handle on the inside. So just hook everything up. It does come with instructions on how to do that.So there's no cutting or drilling required with this install, it should be pretty straightforward.
No welding required either. And again, it just matches right up with your truck. This fits the 2005 through 2015 Toyota Tacoma. There is also a spot if you do have a backup camera and you want to add one in, you can place it here. You can pop out this little square or the little oval inside there to allow for that camera to sit in place.The only tools that you're going to need really to get this installed is a T30 Torx or Star Bit or driver and a 10 millimeter wrench.
It is made in the USA. And that's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the Pop-and-Lock Custom Tailgate Lock. I hope this has been helpful in deciding if this is the right one for you. We do have other colors available here at etrailer.com. And if you also want to have this same one, but in a powered version, we have that as well. So check them out if you're interested.
