Features:
Note: Designed for use with steel factory tailgate handle only
Frustrate tailgate thieves and cargo bandits with this key-operated tailgate lock. Use the Pop & Lock with your truck-bed cover or camper shell whenever you need to lock up valuables in your truck bed.
The Pop & Lock is made of sturdy, armored steel to resist tampering. It mounts in the recess under your steel tailgate handle, so thieving varmints can't pop it out. The lock is raised slightly for convenient key access and to help prevent pinching. And it installs easily using basic tools - no welding or drilling is necessary. The black ABS plastic trim matches your vehicle's trim and gives you a straight-from-the-factory look.
A new tailgate can cost you hundreds - the Pop & Lock saves you the cost and aggravation of replacing a stolen tailgate.

Perfect for use with tonneau covers and camper shells.Just had it installed. My regualr auto shop tried twice & failed. I looked up Pop and Lock's authorized installer (JR's Custom Auto in these parts), & it took less than an hour. It's feels sturdy & well-installed. Having lost my original Pop and Lock that I'd had for years, I'm once again able to lock my 95 Ford Ranger XLT's tailgate.
Did not fit without having to modify it and end up breaking my handle

You mentioned that it did not fit without having to modify it and I had a few questions that I wanted to you. Did your 1996 Ford Ranger have a steel factory tailgate handle. Would you be able to send a picture? Was it the truck handle that was broken? What modifications did you need to do?
Quickly pulled and shipped

It was a very difficult installation. I had to grind down portions of my metal handle to get the pop lock to fit. Now, a year later after unlocking the handle, it takes much force to lift the handle. I keep thinking the handle is going to break. Maybe a potential buyer should purchase the pop lock with a matched handle.
A little tricky to install, once installed works great. A year later still works perfect no issues. Make sure to grease it well.

The product worked, but I had to put way too much time into installing it. Had to do a lot of fixing in order to assure the correct pieces were hitting the right spots.
Arrived on time. Was exactly as described and the customer service team is on top of things. I would recommend buying from this site 100%.
