  • Pop and Lock
  • Vehicle Specific

Kit includes a power tailgate handle and manual BOLT lock that codes to your ignition key to protect your tailgate and cargo. Powered lock wires into the existing power door locks, so when you lock your truck, you lock your tailgate.


Features:

  • Power tailgate lock and manual keyed locking handle help to prevent theft of your cargo and your tailgate
    • Creates secure storage for your valuables when used with a tonneau cover or camper shell
  • Power lock works with your factory power lock system, so it locks and unlocks using remote keyless entry
  • Manual lock has a key to unlock your tailgate in case your vehicle's battery fails
  • Manual lock cylinder has BOLT codeable technology so it can be keyed to match your OEM truck key
    • Made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel
    • Customized to fit your vehicle and integrate into your OEM tailgate handle
      • Mounts inside existing factory handle mechanism, so it resists tampering
  • Installs easily
    • Wires into your power lock system using quick splice connectors
    • No drilling or welding necessary
    • Wiring, quick splices and hardware included
  • Works with factory backup camera
  • Black color matches your vehicle's factory paint
  • Switch kit (PAL9520 - sold separately) is available for trucks without existing power locks
  • Made in the USA
  • 1-Year warranty


Note: BOLT locks permanently code to only 1 vehicle. They cannot be re-coded or re-keyed.

Replace your existing factory tailgate handle with this ABS plastic tailgate handle that has a built-in manual lock that can be wired to your power door locks. And you won't have to carry any extra keys. The lock cylinder for this tailgate lock can be keyed to match your truck key using patented BOLT codeable technology.


BOLT Locks for Convenience and Security

Are you tired of carrying a bulky ring of keys - for your hitch lock and coupler lock, your pickup cover or trailer door, and all the various padlocks securing your equipment?


BOLT (Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology) has solved that problem by designing a line of locks that can operate with a key you already have handy - your vehicle ignition key.


When you insert your own key into the cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down until they are matched exactly to that key. The first time the key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. When the key is turned again, it will rotate to the unlocked position.


This sturdy, stainless steel lock resists corrosion and is custom fit to your vehicle. 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 can activate the Pop & Lock using your keyless remote - lock your truck doors, and you lock your tailgate. 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.

This tailgate lock is great! The wiring takes a little bit of time but watch the videos on the wiring installation. I wired mine so that it will lock/unlock only when I unlock all the vehicle doors, not when I just unlock the driver door. That way the tailgate lock doesn't lock/unlock everytime I'm just getting in to drive somewhere. I would have liked if it came with a gasket to help keep the dust out but I rigged a primitive gasket that will be better than no gasket.

My truck had been broken into twice through the tailgate that did not have a lock (Tacoma 2012) despite having a locked camper shell. This tailgate lock will give me confidence that petty thieves will be deterred.

Unit works great. Wish it was a little quiter, but you’re not listening to it non stop.

Watch their video before you start, and ALL the way through. I stopped before the comment about the polarity, so that’s on me. :)

Remember to keep all connections and panels open until you test it.

I’m glad there are lots of aftermarket parts with factory quality connectors to make it all work.

Slowly getting all the Gen3 Tacoma options with the reliability of a Gen2.

Etrailer is great for their service and speed of delivery. I will comment on a few things about this product.
- it still uses a plastic solenoid. Will see how long this lasts
- installation video was very helpful. There is one important detail that was difficult to see.
IMPORTANT!!! READ THIS FOR THE CORRECT WIRING....
Open the wiring closest to the outside of the driver's side door. There are two wiring channels inside the floor panel on the driver's side. The thinnest one closest to the outside is the one you want. Blue and black & Blue and red are the wires you want.
- Flipping the left side bar does rub on the inside of the gate, however if you bend it out a bit it no longer rubs on the gate and works as intended. Another note that helps with the latching and ease of use is to spray silicone on the outside latches while the gate is open. This helps and saves wear and tear on the handle.

Quality of the handle seems to be on par with the OEM handle. It's not metal, but it's a decent thickness of plastic.

Camera fit and everything lined up well.

Key worked great with my original and so far there are no problems with the keyless locks working with the tailgate. FYI - The gate locks on the first push, but opens only when the remote is pressed 2X (unlocking the passenger doors). This is a good thing because it doesn't always need to cycle each time the door is unlocked.

Quality of the solenoid is yet to be determined. The plastic end piece is concerning as I've heard it breaks over time. I'm hoping that this is just a fluke more than anything else. It would be nice on a $150+ item that this wear item would be manufactured of a higher quality material. Time will tell.

The online video makes installing this lock a breeze. Very straightforward and easy enough for a novice like me. It came with everything needed to make my truck's tailgate latch a power-locking latch. Awesome product!

2015 Toyota Tacoma
Have had this tailgate lock (PAL8540) for about a year on a 2015 Tacoma in Colorado summer and winter. It has worked flawlessly in rainy and icy conditions both on manual key and remote key fob. The etrailer installation video was superb and a big help installing the lock in the tailgate and routing the power/control wiring from the tailgate along the frame and up into the front driver side door sill plate where they splice into the connection wires. The video installer couldn't tell the polarity on the two connection wires under the sill plate and hooked them up reversed at first which made the lock unlock instead of lock when testing it before final assembly. So he had to reverse the two wires in the tailgate. We merely reversed what he did under the sill plate, and it worked perfectly from the getgo. The reason I ordered the manual/remote combination was because of some reviewers' comments that the nylon locking mechanism on remote-only locks sometimes broke leaving them locked out. Mine has not broken.....so far.....fingers and toes crossed! And if it ever does, I can still get in with the manual key. When locking in the remote mode, it has a pronounced and forceful CLICK/BANG! Although relatively but not excessively loud, it leaves no doubt that it has locked. My only improvement suggestion for this lock would be for the manufacturer to beef up the unlocking handle. This is the reason for the 4 star rating. Currently, it's much thinner than the Toyota OEM non-locking tailgate handle. Some reviewers have commented that the handle broke when pulling on the handle to unlock the tailgate. Because of that, I'm relatively gentle when opening the tailgate handle rather than using a gorilla pull. If it had the same thickness as the Toyota OEM non-locking handle, I would have given it 5 stars.

It’s been a year since I’ve installed the Pop and Lock for my 2015 Toyota Tacoma DC Long Bed. I have a Leer Canopy so I wanted the tailgate to lock. This was a very easy install for the mechanically inclined. After 1 year, I have not had any issues with the product. It is a little loud like most all mention, but I like it that way I know it has locked or unlocked. The tailgate handle does feel a little less rigid than the oem, but I’m good about not yanking the handle open with too much force. Overall, I am super happy with the product and highly recommend it. Do it yourself using the video tutorial and save some $$$.
by:
Great product and fairly easy installation. The pop n lock is very noisy - a loud clanking mechanism. I recommend covering the wire with plastic conduit for protection. I also recommend wiring it to the passenger side door because the key fob requires two presses to unlock that side. That way the tailgate isn't unlocking every time you just want to get in the truck.

2012 Toyota Tacoma
I got the power lock and manual bolt lock (PAL8540) for my Tacoma tailgate. I love this thing. It locks and unlocks exactly as I had hoped, using the key fob, power door lock button on the driver door, or manually with my ignition key. I had the manual only pop and lock before this, with the provided key, which didn't work very well, especially after getting dusty in rural Arizona. But this one (PAL8540) works smoothly and beautifully. Watch a few videos online and the install is fairly easy, if you find the right videos (the ones showing every detail of the install). As others have said, its klunky when it locks, but I like it because I have audible confirmation that it is working.

Toyota Tacoma
I had been wanting to be able to lock my tailgate of my Tacoma for a couple of years and finally made this purchase from etrailer. I carry fishing supplies for my boat and was always fearful of theft. The tonneau cover hides things, but with the tailgate unlocked, is not secure. I have bought from them a few times over the years and they do a great job with both shipping and support. I did not use the written instructions and followed the video posted on etrailer. Although my Tacoma is older and dirtier than the one in the video the installation went without a hitch. Yes, the click is a little noisy and the key just doesn't feel right, but I feel that my truck bed is secure and I will find out how long the PAL8540 will work.
by:
what can I say, its fine. its a cleaver design, 100% if you are wanting to keep people from taking things from the back of your truck or stealing your tailgate, it might stop or slow even down them down enough to not make it worth it. but I live in a area that gets really cold. and I found that it has frozen up on a few occasions and Being perfectly honest the handle feels like it could break at any moment frozen or not. it just feels like a cheap Chinese aliexpress product. its better having it then not having it. but i was just hoping for more, for what I spent on it.
by:
2014 Toyota Tacoma
Product arrived promptly. George J was in contact via email prior to and after the product arrived. I find that to be good customer service! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching the installation video of the product prior to installing. Installation of the locking handle on my 2014 Tacoma was easy, however there was a difficult area at the fuel tank which required a wire coat hanger to be used. Bend a curved hook in the end of the cut hanger and use it to grab the wire to pull it through the tight areas. One thing to be aware of when attaching the wires to the feeds. The smaller bundle of wires (closest to the outside of the door) is the bundle that has the blue/black and blue/red feeds. I opened the large bundle and was not finding the correct colored wires as described in the video. When all was attached everything worked like a charm!
by:
2005 Toyota Tacoma
Functionally perfect! Easy to install. I was initially intimidated by the wiring but the video by etrailer made everything a breeze.

4 stars do to imperfect fitment. I had to partially deconstruct the locking mechanism to fit it through the tailgate hole. And flipping the pull rod is a bandaid solution which now rubs a bit.

Overall I’d still highly recommend this product.

Thank you etrailer for your invaluable installation videos. They alone will keep me coming back as a customer.

Product was easy to install. Instructions were ok but needs more work on the wiring connection instructions. Lock is awfully loud when it activates either locking or unlocking. Otherwise I'm satisfied with it.

by:
2015 Toyota Tacoma
Order delivered fast, sooner then expected. Quality and design of the product was excellent and impressive. Overall it rises to the standards of OEM equipment.

Installation was surprisingly simple although I could not make any sense of the written instructions (needs better step by step illustrations and more images). Fortunately I found a video on etrailer.com site that perfectly demonstrated the exact installation procedure for my vehicle which was easy to understand, and worked flawlessly the first time.

The only aspect of this product that I would "almost" criticize is the key tumbler function (with automatic set feature to my ignition key). It worked as advertised the first time, so no real complaint, but the action on the key insertion is very tight/clunky and feels almost forced to operate (hoping it will loosen up over time), but it works so the product overall is 100% satisfactory.
The option to wire the latch directly into my existing power lock system with no drilling, no welding, no complicated wiring was a big, big win for my application.
by:
2008 Toyota Tacoma
This product was installed in a 2008 Tacoma access cab. The install was fairly easy no cutting or drilling required. All parts were included. The only trouble I had was getting the wire through the rubber grommet in the firewall. I eventually taped the electrical wire to a coat hanger and fed the wire through the grommet. The lock works with the keyless entry and the codeable lock technology was very easy to set. Just insert the key and turn to the right and it was set. Very happy with this product.
by:
fast shipping. very straightforward install. installation video on this website is very thorough. my only gripe with this product is fitment. theres a slight gap on the exterior latch plastic assembly that runs across the bottom. you wont see it unless you look under. but i know its there.

Lock was installed by a mechanic. I installed the tailgate lock to secure my Leer 180 bed truck topper. Works like a charm, each and every time.

  • Recommended Tailgate Lock For 2014 Toyota Tacoma That Can Be Locked Via Key FOB
    I have another option for you, but the Pop & Lock Custom Locking Tailgate Handle # PAL5500 you were looking at is a manual only lock meaning it can only be locked or unlocked via the included key. Instead you will want the # PAL8540 which is confirmed to fit your 2014 Toyota Tacoma and gets wired to your power door locks so that the tailgate can be locked with the key fob, or the bolt lock allows you to manually lock and unlock it via your trucks ignition key. I included a video of the...

  • Locating Wires To Install Pop & Lock # PL8540 Tailgate Lock on 2014 Toyota Tacoma
    What cab configuration does your Tacoma have? The wires will only be under the threshold molding (step plate) if it's a double cab model with the 4 full sized door cab. For regular or Access cab models, the wiring needed will be located behind the kick panels (the cover next to your ankles in the foot well). That would be the most likely reason why you're having difficulties locating the correct wires.

  • Installing Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Handle # PAL8540 on 2013 Toyota Tacoma
    The two blue wires (one with red stripe and one with black stripe) will be found just inside the driver side door under the bottom plastic panel. The panel will need to be pulled up and the needed factory wires will be inside a black loom. I have attached an installation video on the 2015 Tacoma that you can use for reference. The process should be identical on your truck. Please let me know if you still cannot locate the correct wires and I will be happy to look into this further.

  • Difference Between PAL8540 and PAL8550 For a 2007 Toyota Tacoma
    Both of the Pop and Lock Tailgate locks you mentioned part # PAL8540 and # PAL8550 are a fit for your 2007 Toyota Tacoma and both come with the ability to manually lock and power lock the handle. The difference is that the part # PAL8540 comes with a lock cylinder that can be programmed to your truck key so you would only need one key to operate the setup. The part # PAL8550 comes with a separate key.

    I do not recommend going off of just color alone as the manufacturer could've used a different color in your 2015 Toyota Tacoma than another Tacoma. Instead you should use a tester like the LCD Digital Circuit Tester # PTW2992 to see which wire goes hot when you lock and unlock your vehicle.

Both tailgate locks are a confirmed fit for your 2013 Toyota Tacoma and will work with your backup camera. The only difference between the two, besides price, is simply the color. The # PAL8540 is solid black, while the # PL85413 is "black sand".

This system works with the factory power lock system on the truck, so it can be locked and unlocked with a keyless remote.

  • Will Pop & Lock Tailgate Handle Work with Aftermarket Remote
    The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Handle # PAL8540 is tied directly to your OEM power lock system so if your aftermarket remote controls the locks on your vehicle then yes, it will operate the Pop & Lock system as well.
