How can the cover secure my truck bed when my truck does not have a tailgate lock? Does the cover have a mechanism to lock the tailgate and secure the cargo area?
Yes. All of our covers ensure a secure and lockable truck bed regardless of the cover or truck configuration. When required, all covers are provided with a ?tailgate lock-catch? that allows you to lock the tailgate and the cover down at the same time. The only covers that require a ?tailgate lock catch? are those trucks that do not have a locking tailgate as a standard factory provided accessory (most Chevy and Dodges do not have a tailgate lock, while most Fords, Toyotas, and Nissans do). When this rear lock catch is required to lock the tailgate, this lock not only secures the cover by locking it down, but it also locks the tailgate with the same ?turn of a key.? This basically secures turns your entire truck bed area. This lock catch, when required, is on the center back edge of the cover (just above your tailgate handle). The purpose of this lock catch is that once you turn the key on the lock located on the top the cover, the latch pawl underneath swings around and grabs the lock
