Don't let thieves steal your cargo or tailgate. Protect your payload with a keyed, custom tailgate lock that installs under your vehicle's steel OEM handle, adding security for valuables. Perfect for use with tonneau covers and camper shells.
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.

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?

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.

Hi LeGrand, I attached the install instructions we have for this Pop & Lock below. I also sent them to you in an email just in the case that the link doesn't work. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
