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.Installing my Pop & Lock tailgate handle was easy and quick, especially with the help of the instructional videos on the etrailer.com website. I can now lock my tailgate without fear that it will be stolen. I'm definitely a happy camper. My only regret is that I should have installed a backup camera at the same time. That'll be my next project.
Super easy 15min I was done and on my way. So happy I made the purchase. Now when I travel I can feel a bit more secure. Purchasing was effortless and Shipping was super fast. I will definitely buy more parts from etrailer.
Works as advertised.
Only thing is if you already have a backup camera you do not need to order the camera mount bracket. You may want to note this on the description to the actual l
had a hard time finding the tailgate handle, but Jesse at a etrailer help me out, went above and beyond.
Excellent product! I just installed it today in about 30 minutes. I am just your average DIYer and this installation was as easy as it appeared in the install video, with no surprises whatsoever. It looks like a factory installed product, works great, and gives me the piece of mind I was looking for. I installed the Pop N Lock on a 2015 Toyota Tacoma with a back up camera. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to lock their tailgate. Thanks to the manufacturer for providing a solution to an issue for which Toyota has not.
So far, it's great, received today NOV 16 and installed in approx 20 minutes, works great. I can do another review after a few weeks of use as of right now I'm impressed. The camera extended out approx 1/4 inch, no effect on operation. I'm happy. D
The tailgate handle works great, and installation was quick and easy. There is a youtube video that helps show exactly what you need to do to install a new handle if this is the first time doing it yourself.
Doesn’t work. When i followed the instructions and flipped the rod, however it still doesn’t work and I can only get one side to latch or open.
Great service. Tailgate lock installed by dealer 7 years ago broke and they had an exact replacement. Just had to change out their generic lock for the one in my old tailgate lock. Fit perfectly.
What an awesome product, it got to my house in a timely manner(and I am very impatient) and exceeded my expectations. It was very easy to install and came with an easy to understand assembly video. I highly recommend the pop n' lock and I will surely be using it in the future. 10/10
It was exactly the part I needed. It was a lower price than the other places I checked.
Locking handle fit perfect and I installed in less than 10 minutes
My tail gate lock has worked perfectly over the past year. I can now store tools and parts with with reasonable expectation of security.
My only regret is not knowing that the tail gate lock was available with a backup camera.
Works great! Bought for our 2015 Toyota
Tacoma truck. Feel safer locking luggage in back.
Product quality appears excellent. Installation was a breeze. “How to” vid from mfr was very helpful. I sprayed WD40 on the plastic clips to make removal and reinstallation of the rods a bit easier. Don’t use tools to remove clips from rod, they may break and snap off. Use fingers and combo of force and finesse!
So I got the handle in the mail, opened up my tailgate, followed the thorough step by step instructions provided, and about 30 minutes later I had a functional locking tailgate! Super easy and worth it for my valuables and tailgate! One suggestion, wear gloves because that sheet metal on your truck is sharp.
Lock works well. The black finish fades really quickly.
The package was left here on a Sunday afternoon when no one is at the business to receive packages. Tracking says it will take 10 days to figure out where the package is. Really?
This was a super easy install with watching video and instructions! Easy to install my camera with popping out insert as well! Very satisfied
I like the product....except this is my second one. I bought one a few years ago to secure the contents of my truck bed, (I have a cover) and to protect the tailgate from being stolen. Actually this was the only tailgate lock that I could find. The plastic handle broke and so I could open my tailgate or cover. It took a while to figure out how to open the tailgate and cover. Perhaps the quality of the plastic could be better. Otherwise it works well.
Hint, to reverse the driver side rod end for end, you also have to reverse the locking clip so that the rod is now able to slide in from the bottom and then locking the clip.
Also a borrowed hint, while opening the tail gate push in on the tail gate to relieve some of the pressure on the releasing lock arm. It may extend the life of the locking mechanism. My first one lasted about ten years, so overall I’m very pleased with the lock.
Item as described, and delivered quickl y.
Very nice and easy to install!
It was the easiest replacement part I have done.
