Shipping SpecialDon't let thieves steal your cargo or tailgate. Add security for your valuables with this keyed, steel tailgate lock that installs under your vehicle's OEM handle. This custom lock is perfect for use with tonneau covers and camper shells.
Features:
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.The black painted steel housing and trim around the lock complement your vehicle's trim and give you a straight-from-the-factory look. This all-steel tailgate lock also offers more theft protection than tailgate locks with plastic housings. The lock mounts in the recess under your tailgate handle, so thieving varmints can't pop it out. 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.
A new tailgate can cost you hundreds - the Pop & Lock saves you the cost and aggravation of replacing a stolen tailgate. Used to be you could hang horse thieves, but in today's wild, wild west, theft prevention is best.

Today on our 2011 Chevrolet Silverado, we're going to be installing the Pop & Lock Tailgate Lock part number PAL1300. Before we begin, we'll actually show you the components of this item. We have the lock mechanism itself and a set of keys. We have a 6 mm hex bolt and flat washer, 6/30 seconds screw and a horseshoe shaped mounting insert. And with that, we'll go ahead and begin installing it on the vehicle. We'll begin by opening the tailgate.
We're going to remove this 8-mm bolt and we're going to loosen these two 8-mm bolts. Now, you want to get these pretty loose. It will help with the fitting of the lock mechanism. With that loose, we'll go ahead and shut the tailgate and we'll actually be able to remove this bezel. It is held in by three clips.
With the bezel removed, we're going to go ahead and flip it over and remove this clip, this bolt clip, and set it off to the side. We'll then take the horseshoe shaped insert and slide it down into the bezel itself underneath where the previous clip was. With that done, we'll go ahead and flip it back over, taking our lock mechanism and insert it into the bezel here, making sure that it lines up. We'll then take our small 6/30 seconds bolt, insert it into the small hole here, and go ahead and tighten that down. And with the small bolt tight, we're ready to go ahead and install it on the vehicle.
We'll need to bring the 6 mm bolt and flat washer with us back over to the truck in order to install it. With our handle loose, we can go ahead and re-install our bezel. I recommend holding up the handle a little bit at the top part of the bezel head and then just ease it down back into place and the secure it using the three clips, and then we can open our tailgate back up and we can go ahead and tighten down our two bolts here. And with our two bolts tight here, we'll now use the 6-mm hex bolt and flat washer to insert into the third hole which will grab a hold of the lock mechanism and we can go ahead and tighten that down. With the three bolts tight, our installation is complete.
And that completes our Pop & Lock Tailgate, part number PAL1300.

The installation instruction sheet could have been a little clearer on a couple of the drawings they contained, but on a positive, (and much more important), note, the product arrived within 4 days of ordering, was quite easy to install, & works like a dream! Thanks for a great internet shopping experience that went very well from start to finish. As for pictures, .. . . .'sorry but I don't have any digital shots just yet. Trust me though, the finished installation looks GREAT!!14549

Easy to install. Some difficulty lining up to latching mechanism. Hard to lock and unlock but hopefully after more use will become easier. Well worth the money.42570
