This sturdy, stainless steel lock resists corrosion and is custom fit to your vehicle. The Pop & Lock mounts permanently inside your truck's tailgate handle, so thieving varmints can't pop it out. The lock is installed using basic tools - no welding or drilling is necessary. And the tailgate lock wires directly into your powered lock system using quick splice connectors. You activate the Pop & Lock using your keyless remote - lock your truck doors, and you lock your tailgate. No more fumbling for keys or going back to make sure you locked up. Just hit your door-lock button and your tailgate is secure.


A new tailgate can cost hundreds - this powered lock saves you the cost and aggravation of replacing a stolen tailgate.

Install was relatively easy on 2020 Frontier. Tied into the wiring in the passenger side B pillar. Instructions are vague. Video for an install on a 2019 Frontier made all the difference. Tied blue to purple and green to light blue wires in the B pillar. Just like in the video. Worked perfectly. I think earlier models will be different. Can’t attest to longevity, just installed it yesterday.

Great. Installed on 2020 Nissan Frontier.

by:
Works great! Nice to know the bed is locked clicking the fob. One thing to note, if you unlock Nissan Pickup and only open the tailgate the doors will auto relock after 3 min. If you open a passenger door the vehicle will stay unlocked.
Also don't use the note on wire clamp ever for any application. Cut the wire you are tapping into and use a butt connector.

Item arrived quickly and well packaged. Hardware was snug fit but was correct for my model & year. The wiring was a lot more difficult to navigate because the instruction listed the wrong color for my model year. I contacted manufacturer (Pop& Lock) and tech provided me with correct wiring colors to tap. All in all good product so far but having more in depth and visual guides on wiring tie-in would have saved me some serious frustration. I would also recommend a second tie-in for 2nd option on fob for two click to open like passenger and cab doors.

working perfect

Best add on to my truck.
Easy to install. No issues after a year.
The convinience and piece of mind knowing the tail gate is closed every time I lock the truck is priceless.
by:
Was incredibly easy install. Works like a charm. Have no need to carry or have the key to unlock the rear gate.
by:
2021 Nissan Frontier
I like the product. I am not particularly gifted mechanically but was able to install it without much difficulty. I had watched a youtube video of an installation of a pop & lock and that made it easier. I know I will enjoy having it on my truck.
by:
Product works great, instructions not so great. Needed to leverage [online video] to install wire to backdoor lock rather than under dash
by:
2019 Nissan Frontier
I installed this lock on my 2019 Nissan frontier, and it worked every time I locked the truck.
I couldn't ask for more.
by:
As described, in a timely manner, Just installed yesterday and shows to be working well.

The lock for my frontier tailgate has been great! There have been no issues with it, and it has helped keep my belongings secure.

Product was delivered on time. Works great. Wiring info was incorrect for my year (2019) Nissan Frontier.
by:
I realize it has been awhile since I purchased my item from you and as I said in my reply it was a Christmas gift for my daughter. I forgot to get back
to you but I wanted to take the time to do that now. I want to say that your Poplock tailgate lock worked wonderfully so simple to install and adds a great sense
of security to my daughters nissan pickup. Your item coupled with the hard cover I got for her secures her bed completely. Wiring and installation was so simple
to do and your instructions were right on target. Wonderful product

Packaging stated that this was only good up to the 2013 Frontier but there haven't been any changes to the Frontier up until 2019 at least so it worked fine for my 2016 Frontier. Instructions are not great, but search youtube you'll find a great video from a guy who does a step by step install. (Here's the video: https://youtu.be/lcQpAad2NK0) Trickiest part is snaking the wire around into the harness in the tailgate and then up into the truck. I brought mine up through the passenger's seatbelt column like the video showed. Functionality is great, no issues at all. Great product.

@Johnathan Hey Johnathan, really appreciate you coming back with the one year update. That’s awesome to hear it’s still working perfectly and hasn’t given you any trouble, especially on something you use all the time like a tailgate lock. Those are the kind of upgrades you want to just install once and not have to think about again, so it sounds like it’s doing exactly what it should. Are you still running it with the factory remote setup, or have you added any other security upgrades to your truck since then?

This is an excellent product, however when I opened the box it was plain to see there was no split loom covering over the supplied wiring harness. etrailer was very apologetic and was willing to send me the split loom or credit me the cost of the covering. ($6) Plus they were available to answer the phone on a Saturday!

The installation video posted on this site was very helpful. My particular vehicle is an access cab, so there were a few differences. No need to go beyond the driver side kick board covering to find the correct wires for connection. I also drilled my own hole and used a 1/2" grommet in the bottom of the tail gate for a cleaner install. One tip I would suggest is to find a block of wood equal to the gap between the tailgate and body of the truck for drilling this hole. I noticed on the video the technician did not do this. Very important if you want a clean hole in the metal.

Product works as advertised. Not going to lie, I was upset with the lack of split loom covering on the wiring harness. Overall I think etrailer.com is a great source for parts and information.

Pop and Lock recently changed these kits. They no longer include the wire loom. Per the requests of many installers, they opted for a heavy jacket around the wire rather than a corrugated loom that for some was making installations slower. A smooth jacket is easier to to snake through tight areas than a corrugated loom. Once we were aware of this change, we got the ball rolling to update our photos and shortly we will have all of these listings updated.
