It's smart to look into the security of a tonneau cover; what I can tell you is that when locked, the RetraxONE MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RT60232 will be secure if it is extended to your 2015 Ram 1500's tailgate. If slightly open, it's likely possible the friction lock can be pulled open, but it would not be like sliding it open when the cover is unlocked. As you mentioned, however, any tonneau cover can be broken into because they are not meant to act as security systems.

That said, the covers do act as deterrents, and if somebody just passing by were to take a look at a solid tonneau cover that obviously had a lock on it there would be little reason to risk breaking in when easier targets would surely be available. Essentially, with the RetraxONE # RT60232 on your '15 Ram, someone would have to be specifically targeting the truck if they wanted to break in because most theft comes down to opportunity, and the Retrax removes that.
