Tailgate lock

Is there a better option the Pop&Lock for tailgate lock, all reviews state they are junk and don’t last long
Thanks in advance

 

I believe that there is at least one other option; I've the 'Pop & Lock' for a couple of years with no issues at all.

 

Thanks
A lot of not happy people out there with it. Thanks for your experience

this is the one i have and it works great, its all tied into the key fob when i unlock. hit it twice all doors unlock including tailgate. i think a lot of the complaints i have seen is the key one and the plastic they use isnt the best. for me it was one less key to carry around

 

That's the problem I had with the keyed lock before going electric. The mechanism would kind of bind...it always unlocked, but sometimes it took a couple jiggles....I dunno, it just didn't feel right. No matter how much lithium grease I put on it....or anything else I tried. It was the same. Electric is the way to go, IMO.

 

The new version of the pop n lock seem to be more reliable. The housing is now abs and protects the motor from getting any unwanted dust/dirt inside that could clog up the motor.

 

Look at pace edwards i have there lock and it’s been great so far. It comes with a stout mounting bracket

No issues here with PopnLock. I have the one that is coded to my truck key. Installed a backup camera in it and been working great for several years now. I find the secret for longevity is to spray lube on the assembly and all tailgate components after install. I bought the model PAL5410.

 

I went with a Dynolock. 1st one failed because I think rust proofing fluid got n the actuator during a Krown treatment. Go a new one under warranty, placed it in plastic bag to protect it. It has been working fine for the past 10 years.

Thanks all

 

after 5 years mines still good, just faded

 

I just installed the

$100 PL5400 Black Manual Tailgate Lock with Bolt Codeable Technology for Toyota Tacoma

PL5400 on my truck last week. Coded it to my ignition key and it works great. I've seen the reviews as well but overall I think its a pretty good product for the price.

 

Where did you buy from?

 

I’ve had a power Pop n Lock in my truck for 7+ years now with zero issue.

 

Sorry for the late reply, but I got mine off Amazon for about $78.

 

Same here.
