When the Pace Edwards Switchblade Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE66QJ is completely closed it will be latched in place and the latch is only accessible with the tailgate down. When you lock your 2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty tailgate the cover will be locked and someone will have to break in to get at any cargo in your truck bed.

If you're wanting a tonneau cover that can be locked anywhere along the rails then the Pace Edwards JackRabbit Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE59QJ will be better suited for you. It has a lock at the back of the retractable part of the cover that allows you to secure the cover at any point along to rails to accommodate for different load sizes. When completely closed and locked in conjunction with your locked tailgate it will keep your cargo secure and force someone to break into it to gain access to your truck bed.
