Does this cover lock for better security?

The cover has four fasteners, two in front that are stationary. The two in the back have handles that you pull down until the hooks go under the bed rail when you let go of the handle the cover is secure. If your tailgate locks the bed is very secure. Even if the cover is pried up a max of maybe an inch it will not unlatch. not perfect but very secure. We've had two trucks with the trifold and have never had an issue.

Cover has manual pull down levers on each side of the bed near the tail gate. Once the tail gate is up and locked the top is locked (well unless someone uses a knife).

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.

Just saw Caesar's answer..I bought this for my son and he has never had it lock. Back when out..something he told me he wished it did. 5hat was the basis of my original answer

I've installed 2 of these for clients and if they are installed tightly they will add an extra measure of security as well as child-proofing. Both clients are very happy with them. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps.

The cover itself does not lock. It clamps from inside/ underneath. If your tailgate locks, it's fairly secure. Of course, if a thief really wants in, the could cut it open through the top.

It comes with a hard plastic cover that slides into place on either side of the door. It does not literally 'lock' with a key type lock. Hope this helps.

This one does lock but it's really easy to open and close. I like personally like the security of the locking and it's not cumbersome at all

No it doesn't lock against the existing door. Like a previous customer stated, I too had to use a bar to secure the original door. The seal isn't great either.

I don't use the combination to the locks. This case is far from secure. I just use it for back and forth from the range. Good luck..

I have had mine on for about a year, and have not had any problem with the latch. I don't feel as though the latch has a security problem.

Mine is suppose to lock but does not. Do not buy if you are looking for security.

Yes, it locks, and is fairly secure. Thin aluminum siding, so if someone really wanted to, it would be that difficult to get in though.

This cover has latching that is covered but the locking/security is provided by the tailgate OEM factory lock or an aftermarket locking handle if the OEM did not have a lock. If you need anything further - please let us know - WebOffroad Andy 714-993-2011

No. This cover is not suited for that application. This cover locks in place by twisting it.

Not sure Eric, I never used the lock portion- the cover has been fantastic though. By looking at the cover the lock cable goes through the metal rings on the cover base .

Not at all. The plastic on my lock only serves as a dust cover over the key tumbler area. Has absolutely no bearing on the function of the security of the lock.

I think it adds an unnecessary step for what you're looking for because putting in the code does not open the padlock. It just opens the key storage area. To open the padlock itself, you have to open the key area and then release the padlock mechanically. I would just buy a regular, sturdy padlock.

THis is a well made lock, however, it is designed to secure a door that "opens in"... For example if you are in a hotel room use this lock to secure the door before retiring for the evening. It is important to note be sure you have the key handy in the event you have to exit your room in an emergency.
