Hopefully Slows Thieves
Very easy installation. Some effort was needed because of the factory seam sealer which isn’t DeeZee’s fault. It isn’t Fort Knox, but hopefully slows thieves down!

The loop is made ok but too large for my f250 tailgate
When I installed the locking ring it’s either too large or too narrow to stop someone from removing the gate. I’d the ring slides to the right it can slip off the hinge and become totally useless. Kit comes with foam strips that will do nothing to stop someone from prying the ring ti the right with minimal effort. Also the locking screw is not recessed so someone could use a saw to easily cut a slot in the screw and remove it. Very poorly designed device. Would have been better off to use a hose clamp

Not exactly what i was expecting
I have a Chevy Colorado so maybe my problem is because my truck is smaller than standard. The ring goes over the tailgate hinge but is very loose. I think it will stop someone from taking my tailgate but I expected the ring to fit snug

Overall great product, however they need to revise the fitment list
There was no way I was going to get this to fit my truck. 06 silverado. There is no room between the tailgate skin and the hinge. And even getting it close it is way to big to fit.

Fits 2021 f150 - but you must double layer the foam.
Fits 2021 F150. Easy to install and will at least slow the thief down. Only thing is it comes with two different size foam stick on pads for the inside to prevent noise. I had to use both layers of the foam to prevent it from sliding around as it was a little bit big on the truck. But other than that it fits great.

Excellent Excellent Excellent
My tailgate outer metal hinge bushing broke on my brand new 2019 6 months after I purchased. This locking device goes over that bushing part and does the job of keeping the tailgate secured! It solved my problems. Even if your bushings aren't busted, it reinforces it to prevent damage. I installed with the Dee Zee slow tailgate assist I swear it adds 10 hp at the wheels. I'm extremely happy with this product and the lift. Highly recommend to everyone with a tailgate.

Good value
If they want your tailgate bad enough they’ll take but with Dee Zee it’ll make it that much more difficult. I think if they see it most likely will move on to the next tailgate!

Helps secure against tailgate theft!
It won't prevent someone from stealing your tailgate but it will slow them down
