The product information implies that the product is easy to use, when it has to be installed. I have not installed yet because it appears that it will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.

The lock itself functions fine, but I had to modify the plastic insert that was part of the original handle so the Pop Lock would fit. No problem since this is after market and can be expected.

I will probably remove it once I put a topper on to regain the original look. This was just a temporary fix to keep someone from stealing my tailgate. Which by the way would not stop a professional from stealing anyway. It may slow them down a bit.

I would not recommend this solution as a permanent solution.

Great product. Installed on 2008 Chev 1500. This is my second Pop & Lock both worked as advertized...in a senior moment I ordered a different product that, I thought would be easier to install and look more like a factory install. Product was cheaper and look it when installed. Also did not provide "ANY" resistance to opening the tailgate when locked. Pop & Lock works! The other product did not!

Posted By: David P. (Carmel) on 04/2008
A nice pruduct to keep your cargo safe. I have a cap on my bed that does lock but it doesn't keep the tailgate locked. Pop and Lock solved that problem. Definately loosen the existing tailgate latch to prevent scratching the paint while you are fitting in the new lock assembly. I sprayed up the plastic retainer clips that attach the rod assembly with WD-40 to remove any rust that would have impeded the retainer clips from moving. Take your time, familiarize yourself with the parts prior to installation and it will go smoothly. I noticed after the lock was installed that the tailgate lift lever felt different when you pulled it to open. But it works fine. A small price to pay for keeping my tools safe. I would definately recommend it. If you are reasonably handy and patient it should take you about twenty minutes.

Excellent product and easy install. Mine did not have the two-sided tape as stated in the instructions, but installed firmly and flush anyway. Took all of about 20 seconds to install the product. Excellent choice for those who don't want to take their tailgate apart to install a lock!

I understand that for security reasons it's metal constructed but should provide a rubber or foam gasket to provide protection to the metal tailgate and not scratch it.

I purchased a Pop n Lock talegate lock for my 01 Ranger and it works fine. The handle could be broken but it is plastic so if forced the handle would break but I don't think it could be opened without spending quite a bit of time prying on the tailgate. I do have a shell on the bed so thats why I added the lock and other than breaking a window it's very secure. I don't think the talegate lock makes much since unless you do have bed cover of some sort. As far as installing the lock it's quite simple once you can figure out the instructions. Maybe it's just me being stupid but it took me longer to figure out the instructions than it took to install. About 1 hr with the instructions and 10 min to install. I would say if you need a lock this one is as good as you will get. RealTruck was great, the price was the best I could find and I received it very fast.

The fit of the lock to my Tacoma tailgate latch was tight. I had to open up the tailgate inside cover to get to the latch guts to install the lock. The key seems small but the lock feels solid. But otherwise it has worked great. 5 out of 5.

Excellent fit, looks factory-installed, works nicely. Not a simple installation, as you have to remove the backing panel of the tailgate, but the instructions are easy to follow. A special screwdriver bit will be required for the tailgate panel screws. However, I highly recommend this tailgate lock!

Good purchase for my truck to allow stowing items in the bed away from view. Working in conjuntion with the pop and lock allows for safe storage. The Back Flip is decent quality, however one of the release string latches no longer works so we need two people to open it up on the second fold. Still recommend this over other types of bed covers I researched.
