Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Stromberg Carlson to see if they had any advice about how to lock their # VGD-10-100 tailgate. I was told that other than using a cable or chain lock to tether the tailgate to a tie-down point in the truck bed, they really didn't have any specific advice regarding how to lock the tailgate to prevent theft.
For a locking tailgate, I'd recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series tailgate, part # VGD-10-4000 which features an integrated lock.
