McGard Universal Stainless Steel Tailgate Lock

It only takes seconds to steal an unlocked tailgate, and replacing one is not cheap. McGard's 76029 tailgate lock is built from stainless steel and polycarbonate to add theft protection without changing how you use your truck bed day to day.

What makes this lock practical is that it never needs to be removed to open or close the tailgate. There are no keys to fumble with and no handle covers to lock and unlock every time you drop the gate. Once installed, it provides 24-hour protection while letting your tailgate operate normally. The 1/4-inch square drive mechanism sits out of sight and out of the way.

Installation requires no modifications to your truck. The lock mounts with basic hand tools and fits most late-model pickup trucks. The kit includes one lock assembly and one key. At a combined weight that keeps things light, the stainless steel and polycarbonate construction holds up to weather without adding noticeable bulk to your tailgate hardware.
