Don't let thieves steal your cargo or tailgate. Add security for your valuables with this ABS plastic tailgate handle that has a keyed, steel tailgate lock. Perfect for use with tonneau covers and camper shells. Replaces your OEM handle.
Features:
Frustrate tailgate thieves and cargo bandits with this key-operated, replacement tailgate handle. Use the Pop & Lock with your truck-bed cover or camper shell whenever you need to lock up valuables in your truck bed.
Replace your existing factory tailgate handle with this ABS black plastic tailgate handle that has a built-in lock. The Pop & Lock locking mechanism is made of sturdy, armored steel to resist tampering. Because this locking handle replaces your factory tailgate handle, thieving varmints can't pop out the lock. The lock is raised slightly for convenient key access and to help prevent pinching. And the handle installs easily using basic tools - no welding or drilling is necessary. The custom design gives you a straight-from-the-factory look, and the black color complements any other black trim on your truck.
A new tailgate can cost you hundreds - the Pop & Lock saves you the cost and aggravation of replacing a stolen tailgate.

After further review I am still completely satisfied with this product. Only thing that I fou to be a problem was the nut on the back of the lock was missing. Tear it all apart after installed and a quick trip to the hardware store to get what was needed. A bit more quality control could have prevented this.

Thank you for sharing what your experience has been! It's nice having some detail of how the part performs out in the wild, so to speak :)

The PAL5300 is not an exact fit with the 2014 Tacoma, which is why we do not have it listed that way in the fitguide. I did speak with Pop and Lock, and they will be releasing new part numbers that will be compatible with the 2014 Tacomas in the coming weeks. They will be part PAL5500 and PAL5400 with the latter having the ability to be keyed alike with the OEM keys.
