This lock is still working flawlessly at keeping my tailgate locked and bed secured with my tonneau cover. I would definitely recommend getting this item if you want to lock your tailgate. 362576

I love this product and think anyone who has a topper or tonneau cover should really look into getting one for added security.

... I ordered & received the etrailer tail gate lock very promptly and with instructions, had it installed within twenty minutes with ease. The lock works excellent on my 2004 Chevy Silverado , no jamming or sticking. I would but another without hesitation and highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to keep their tailgate from being stolen, I give it a five star rating . Ken Nowlin 278224

Works great. When I installed it, it didn’t work at first then I played around with the rods a little and it works great now. 601104

Recently purchased and installed on my 2000 2500 Chevy truck. Pros: - Arrived quickly. Shipped the same day it was ordered. Thank you! - Cheaper than anywhere else. - 2 keys included. - Simple procedure to remove old and install the new lock. Con (This is a minor issue and easily fixed so keeping 5 stars) - The bolts included are phillips or straight blade. Neither work well when installing. - The threads on the lock are not easy to mate with the bolt. The bolt threads are real tight at first and then loosen once you get past the initial start. - Best option is to run to Westlake and get a m6x1.0 bolt about 3/4" long with a 10mm head and use a ratchet with the included washer. It's the best $0.69 + tax spent to make this much easier to tighten down. The lock needs to be fully tightened to allow the tail gate to open properly with the lock installed. Other than the bolt issue, this is a great addition to my truck to ensure the tailgate or stuff in the truck bed is not stolen. 667231

Easy enough to install. Instructions a bit vague- "With the key in the lock- carefully align the hole..." OK, key is in lock, but should it be in "locked" or "unlocked" position? Anyway, got it installed. Opened tailgate. Yep, works fine. Turned key and removed. Opened tailgate. Yep, works both ways. Uninstalled. Re-read instructions. Watched video. Reinstalled. Tailgate opens unlocked. Good. Tailgate opens locked. Unlocked it and watched mechanism in action. Works good. Locked it and watched mechanism. As pressure build from lifting handle, there was enough give that tailgate opens right up. Made sure everything was super tight. Nope. Not gonna keep this puppy shut. Waste of time and money. Unless the keyhole discourages thief, my tailgate is just as accessible with as with out. Time to find a different product. 520186

This lock was entirely UN-satisfactory! After several attempts to install in my 2004 GMC 2500 HD, I finally managed to get it on. The supplied screws were too short, and only grabbed one or two threads on the lock. I viewed the install video (twice), read the supplied instructions (twice), and, by the hardest, got the lock installed. After replacing the supplied bezel and shutting the tailgate with it UN-locked, I pulled on the handle to open the gate, and IT broke! I'm now out the price of the lock, plus the cost of a new gate latch plus labor. Wish I had never ordered it!!!!!! 156767

Funny story now but not at the time / watched video on installing but it was on a different year truck than mine and it looked very simple to do and it would have been had I looked at the enclosed instructions that noted tailgate must be closed to install but no I couldn't be that smart / end result installed lock with tailgate down and tonneau cover attached closed the tailgate only to find out that the lock worked very well I couldn't open the tailgate because by having the tailgate down while installing didn't allow the latch arms to open and a 15 minute job turned into over an hour project trying to get the tailgate open / but I would recommend the Bully Tailgate Lock and most definitely would recommend reading the instructions something I will always do before doing anything from now on 490490

I am completely satisfied with the Bully Tailgate Lock as I stated in my previous review read the instructions before installing and it will be easy to install and take about 15 mins would definitely recommend this lock

Looks factory and works as advertised. 704845

I was very pleased with the installation of this product. Parts are high quality and the look is OEM just like the description says. I would not recommend using the one-way (security) screw that comes with the product as I needed to remove the locking mechanism two or three times to get it to align with the latch properly. I found that a little grease on the arms of locking mechanism where it contacted the latch helped keep it from sticking or jamming as others have mentioned. Overall a great experience shopping at this company. Thanks etrailer.com! 699717

I just do not like the plastic clips holding the bezzle in. 682786

Excellent customer service and timely delivery. The tailgate lock fit perfectly. 677735

So far so good it installed easy everything fit good, my only thing so far that i can say negative is the plastic on the key is poor quality it looks like it is shedding its skin. 672328

This product will help me secure my items in my pickup truck bed a lot easier! Peace of mind knowing I have theft deterrent! 672182

Had to modify the center hole in plastic bezel for the lock tumbler (to small of an opening), also had to elongate the holes in the tail gate for the release mechanism for proper alignment to the plastic bezel. 668150

Just installed, only time will tell. Only gripe at this point is the lock mount should be designed to reuse the OEM bottom mounting screw. I like the continuity of a stock appearance. 665574

The tailgate lock has worked out great! It gives great security when i put anything in my vehicle . It works very easily and i am glad i purchased it. 665254

Easily installed a minor amount of adjustments to allow tailgate to operate properly. Just installed lock today, therefore I can talk to durability of the product. 664931

The tailgate lock that I purchased from E Trailer one year ago has performed flawlessly. It was easy to install using the well written installation instructions. The lock comes with 2 keys. My local locksmith did not have the key blanks to make another key. A call to E trailer helped me find the manufacturer of the lock who then sent me the correct key blanks to get extra keys made. I was very happy with E trailer and Bully locks for their extra help to assure my satisfaction. 651594

Very easy to install, had installed for a year now and no problems. If you have a bed cover and want more security for your things install this lock. 2005 2500hd lly is my truck. 617341

Pretty decent price for something that can make your tailgate secure from someone who only takes a little mild discouraging to move on. The fit is quick and easy just not exactly confidence boosting to stop someone even halfway determined to get inside your tailgate. It would be nice if the design was revised slightly to eliminate the twist which occurs when tightening the screw. When locked there is still enough play in the handle to allow the left side latch to click as though it is opening. Overall, for day to day applications I will use the keyed lock but I will still use the strap attached to the tailgate when I really want the gate to be secure. 616864

Pros: easy to install. Looks great. Keeps my stuff secure. Cons: loose fit. Fell off and broke. New bolt head does not match factory bolt heads. 594527

Very easy to install. Great solution to deter tailgate thieves. For additional security I ordered a left side tailgate hinge (the side without the gap for tailgate removal) and installed it on the right side. Now there is no way a thief can remove the tail gate unless they go through the trouble of removing the bolts of the hinge which are not very easy to get to. I have had a tailgate stolen in the past. NOT Fun! 588239

Works, but does hang up a bit and surround has come off a few time when opening tail gate. 584682

This lock works well and is easy to install. I had taken my truck out of town for training and had some things in the bed. I had the topper locked but one morning when I left for class I found that someone had tried to open the tailgate. It arrived ahead of schedule and was installed in less than 10 minutes. The video was very helpful. The first couple times you open the tailgate it is a little stiff but after that, it’s fine. The lock works great and I can sleep a little more soundly. 580122

Very easy to install..it gives a great peace of mind that I don't have to worry about loosing the tailgate in a parking lot ( removal taking a brief 15 seconds) I did loose the bezel running on rough surface with tailgate down and ordered new product and then drilled a couple of holes and secured with screws. Overall I am very happy with the product. 579816

UPS delivered it yesterday to the wrong address. etrailer people fixed that within an hour. Today it is installed and works great. Thank you very much for a great product, price and wonderful service. 579064

Lock is easy to install. Make sure that latch mechanism is not worn, otherwise lock will not work. My latch mechanism was loose and did not work with lock. After making adjustments to the latch mechanism (tightened everything up) lock works perfectly. If latch mechanism is loose, tailgate will open in both lock and unlocked positions. 578677

Fit perfect. Instructions were spot on. Installed in about 10 minutes tops. 577541

After having a tailgate stolen, and the time, trouble and expense to replace it I wanted to be sure it would stay put. This lock was very easy to install and it works great! I would recommend it to anyone . 576625

It did come in, thanks! I have tried to put it on today, but the latch is too short, so when it was installed and locked, the bars would slip right past it. I will be returning it, how should I start this process? 575766

I am very impressed with etrailer. They not only had the replacement tailgate lock I needed for my 2006 Chevy Silverado, but it shipped and arrived in a few days. It was exactly what I was looking for. I'll be using and recommending this business to others. 573243
