Does't locking the tailgate with the key(Toyota Tundra) eliminate the need for this device or is the tailgate key easily bypassed or overcome?

It will serve as additional protection should you forget to lock your tailgate. If this is on then the tailgate is locked to the extend that it can be opened but not removed easily.

Hi,This lock is more for trucks that do not have a key locking tailgate. If you already have a key locking tailgate you probably don't need this lock.Thank you,Steve

I don't know if it'll help keep tailgate on so I cannot be stolen but I've never had the tailgate come off its hinges on my truck the hope that helps

I do not know if this tailgate lock is good on a 2011 but it works quite well on my 2013. I would think it would keep your tailgate from being stolen because the thieves are not able to open the tailgate if the lock is locked.

the cover latches down from the inside, so if you tailgate locks, it is more secure, but it doesnt have a lock. My GMC has a locking tailgate, so not a big issue.

While there are very few items that are theft proof, this is more of a theft deterrent to a potential thief. The item fits snugly between the tailgate and the bed wall to deter a thief from being able to lift the tailgate to a 45 degree angle and lifting it off of the tailgate post. Again, it's just deterrent to a thief and doesn't make it theft proof. Good luck with finding a item for your vehicle (the MasterLock item is a good deterrent as well).

There is no device that locks both the cover and the tailgate as one. The tailgate must be locked to prevent access to the levers that holdown the cover. With high theft rate of the tailgate themselves, I would purchase a retro-fit lock that is easily installed.

The unit has to be permanently installed into the vehicle to bypass the security key.

It clips to your truck bed. I have a locking tailgate and that helps keep the bed secure. It is not perfect but you would have to work at it to break in with your tailgate locked.

I had a similar one on my 2002 Silverado for almost 10 years until it broke last year. No one ever messed with it. Keeps stuff out of sight, out of mind. I installed a different tailgate latch that included a lock as well.

The cover doesn't have a lock but if your truck has a tailgate that locks, the cover can't be opened if tailgate is closed and locked, if that makes sense.

You will have to have a locking tailgate. The cover is retracted by reaching under the right and left rear and releasing the clamps. No locks on cover.

You can only get in it when you open your tailgate. So if your tailgate locks then it is locked. That is unless someone really wants in it and has a pry bar and no bed cover can stop that.

HI.......I have a Ford Crew Cab with a locking tailgate......If you have a locking tailgate.....the only way you would get it off is with a crowbar.....It was two spring loaded locking devices...one on each rear side and it's clamped on both front edges...I love it and it doesn't leak in any weather.

This particular tailgate lock will fit any truck tailgate. Some thieves tried to steal my truck tailgate and this small little device is one of the best tailgate locks money can buy. Plus, once installed it is not noticeable. Simply try to steal the tailgate and the thieves got a problem. Worth investing!

The tailgate has a slot to make it easy if you need to take it of, with this device you close that slot and you block it so that you can only remove if you have a key to thi device

No, this replacement handle does not include the key lock. It works great as a replacement tailgate handle but you will not be able to lock your tailgate.

Yes I believe so. This lock, when in place, fits over the tailgate fastening "hook" (think of it as U shaped) and bed "pin" (cylinder shape) that keeps the tailgate in place. When you put the lock on, over the tailgate hook and slide the lock over the pin tight, it keeps the hook from being pulled off of the pin, ie your tailgate stolen.
