Pop & Lock PL1050 Black Manual Tailgate Lock for Chevy/GMC

Less than 10mins to install. Fits perfect, looks factory and locks tailgate very well.

I like this lock. It was easy to install but needed a little modification work with a grinder. Nothing a DIY can't handle and it only took a minute to add a radius on the locking arm!

Not a bad for an added security method to bolster an already installed locking system I had from the 90's, but I didn't like the one way screw! So I didn't use it and have been looking for a security screw that can be removed if needed, but not with out a keyed socket or something and not easily tampered with!If they want the tail gate that bad they will get it... all this does is either turn someone away that might be expecting the 5 seconds it would take to remove the tail gate without it, but if they really want it they will get it, but in this case with some effort and time they may not have!Sad that we have to locked everything of what belongs to us and pay more money for this stuff to keep it, bastards!I will still recommend the item at 5 stars, but I whish the company would have supplied a better method of mounting this lock so 4 stars.Mine installed with no issues other than I decided to use a different bolt for now...BTW, I didn't have any issues what's so ever with the gate operation! Mine is always lubed (another reason for not using the one screw provided) and it got lubed again, but I also don't slam my gate, I have always lifted up on the handle while closing and then release slowly with a bit of a nudge on the gate to confirm it's latched once the handle is fully released. Just my way of doing this and much the way I handle the hood and doors, sometimes I might take another shot at closing the door pending if a window is open or not!

One Security Screw and Washer.Even did not have to remove the Bezel, Just remove the lower middle bolt ( Mine was a Torx ), Lift the handle as high as it will go, Slip P&L inside, align the nut on the device and screw it down. That's it! So Easy and Sucker is Strong.Very Nice Product.

Simple install, problem is that the locking mechanism is to short. had to weld a short extention on to make it work properly. Also just a heads up, you dont have to remove the plastic trim to install. Good luck.

Nice to be able to lock my tail gate 1995 GMC Sierra.

Just finished installing this on my 1989 Chevy C/K 1500, part PL1050 with no issues. Instructions are very clear and it took about 20 minutes. Worked great on the test openings and am very happy at this time although i just got this on June of 2020.

I recently purchased a Model PL1050 Tailgate Lock for my 1991 GMC C2500. The included latch was not long enough to engage completely with my tailgate handle and would still allow the tailgate to open even when locked. I welded on about an extra 1/2" to the latch and with some grinding it now it works fine.There must be variations in the GM trucks out there that cause this.Pop&Lock needs to include some different length latches with their product to cover this.Other than this issue I am happy with this.

Easy Install

Works very well. Follow the installation instructions! Goes together perfectly, if you do.

Be careful removing the bezel from the tailgate. It has little plastic tabs that break easily! We broke 2. Gratefully, it was still useable. I purchased a new one and unfortunately, it was an 1/8” too tall in the hole. It had to be returned.We found that the bezel does interfere with the part that bolts to the tailgate. So, we just used a grinder and ground off about 1/8” along the edge of the bezel, not the whole way, only where the product actually touches it (not hard). We also took the suggestion of others and used a different bolt, just in case we would want to remove the product. We used lock-tight on the bolt. Hopefully, that will prevent it from vibrating loose. It locks perfectly! Very happy with this fix!

The product wouldnt lock my 92 Chevy k1500 tailgate. The lock was about half a cm to short to grab my handle. If you pulled hard would just skip past it.
