Does it lock automatically when you close the tailgate or do you manually lock it with the key once you close the tailgate?

It comes with a seperate key if you want to lock it, you have to do manually

pretty good fit - manual lock. However, my hunting buddy saw it and bought a keyless version that's tied to the rest the auto locks - can't recall where he bought it though.

This tailgate lock work's manually. After you close your tailgate, you have to use the key (2 supplied) to lock it.

It is a manual key operated lock. It will not work with powered locks and does not have a way to lock/unlock without turning the key.

If you want to protect your tailgate it's best to get a tailgate lock. There are several makes/models of tailgate locks, all relatively inexpensive (less than $20 on Amazon) and very effective. They clamp around the tailgate hinge so that the tailgate cannot be removed but allow the tailgate to freely open and close. I bought the McGard tailgate lock and am very pleased with purchase. Easy to install. This is in addition to my locking tailgate latch for extra security - you can leave the tailgate down and it's still protected.

Yes, locking the tailgate will prevent the cover from being opened. I got this tonneu to secure items in the bed, but still be able to haul large items. This cover has been great by keeping things dry and safe.

If you look at the lower left hand corner of the device - their are knobs on straps that will project into the hinge space of the tailgate. When the tailgate is closed - these knobs are trapped in the hinge. You can then tighten the straps to make the installation more rigid. A (semi) secure installation requires a locking tailgate.

There is a catch that catches when you close the gate keeping it closed (you don't have to lock it). To lock it you need the key and you will need the key to unlock it (every time if it's locked).

It doesn't officially lock unless your tailgate is lockable. If thats the case then its pretty much secure. The only way to open the bakflip is from the underside, when the tailgate is open

Yes I have it on my double door. no lock but your tailgate may lock so you can't open it. Only can open the tonno from inside of bed.

Not sure where you are going with this. It locks and unlocks with your key fob wired to your door locks. If it fails, you could open the tailgate from inside by taking off the tailgate cover.

There are two rubber T-Pieces that get locked in place in the tailgate when you close it. Tailgate needs to be lockable if you want it theft-proof unless you lock the bike to the loadbed. "Rack" does have a lock that locks it to the bike though. Have a look at this pic, but it really is an easy diy http://rackwarehouse.com.p2.hostingprod.com/images/productimages/thule/t501-2.jpg

No it doesn't lock automatically. Gotta have a key to lock and unlock. But it's the only lock that I know of that is lockable (& unlockable) from both sides...

No lock,however to remove it you need to have the tailgate down which most trucks are equipped with?

With the tailgate closed and the cover installed correctly you can lock the tailgate and you are unable to open the cover. However, you could probably break in if you had a crowbar.

It doesn't latch automatically. You need to turn the knob after closing the door from the inside, and you need to lock with the key when leaving from the outside.

You can install it with a push button on the inside to open it. That's what I did. Yes it automatically locks when you close the gate.

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.

No, there is no lock on the cover, but if your tailgate locks it would work. You can't open the cover without lowering the tailgate. However it is a softcover so it could always be cut open with a knife.
