- Reviewed in Canada on June 1, 2024Verified PurchaseWorks, easy to install. Still have my tailgate 🤠
- Reviewed in Canada on October 14, 2024Verified PurchaseThis lock is simple and easy to install in a few minutes. I live in the salt belt where rust free tailgates are few and I want to keep mine.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 3, 2021Verified PurchaseGreat idea, keeps tailgate from a "lift and go" theft. Had to do a bit of shoehorning and light nodding to get it to fit my 07 superduty though. Once installed, works fine.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 9, 2022Verified PurchaseI bought this for a 2021 Tacoma so I can leave the tailgate open when camping and I'm not around. The instructions are clear and it was relatively easy to install. Only hang up was the metal band length caused a weird angle preventing it from starting to tighten. Reaching in with a small screwdriver to guide it properly into the tightening screw teeth did the trick. It has not interfered with tailgate operation one bit since it's installation. To date I haven't had any reason to remove it but it seems like it should be easy to do if required. If someone wants my tailgate they'll get it but hopefully this makes them look for your truck instead.

- Reviewed in Canada on April 21, 2023Verified PurchaseInstalled the McGarth lock on my brand new 2023 Toyota Tacoma. The bulky lock is a tight fit but it worked for a few weeks. It shifted left and jammed up my tailgate. The torque of the gate on the lock bent the corner of my tailgate. It shifted my tailgate to the left causing me to accidentally close the gate on the edge of the truck bed, scratching the paint. Now I have a bent tailgate, scratched truck and garbage lock.

- Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2024Verified PurchaseSuper easy install (21 Tundra) and works perfect. Money well spent for some peace of mind
- Reviewed in Canada on July 23, 2021Verified PurchaseThis little product is a great deterrent in preventing the quick theft of your truck's tailgate. Please take note that not all truck tailgates have to be removed to install this lock depending on the model truck you have. I didn't have to remove mine and it took minutes to install.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Tailgate Lock for Added Security
Verified PurchaseBeing a DIY enthusiast, I was eager to enhance the security of my truck, and the McGard 76029 Tailgate Lock did not disappoint. Installing it was straightforward, even for someone like me who prefers to handle projects on their own.
The lock fits perfectly on my truck, and the black finish blends seamlessly with the tailgate, maintaining the aesthetic appeal. One thing I particularly liked is the sturdy construction, which gives a sense of durability and reliability. It’s clear that this lock is built to withstand the elements and potential tampering.
Using the lock has provided me with peace of mind. I no longer worry about the tailgate being stolen, especially when parking in unfamiliar areas. The lock mechanism is smooth, and I haven’t encountered any issues with jamming or difficulty in turning the key.
One aspect I wasn’t too fond of is the initial stiffness of the lock. It took a bit of effort to get it moving smoothly, but after a few uses, it loosened up and now works flawlessly. Additionally, while the instructions were clear, a visual guide or video tutorial would have made the installation process even more foolproof.
In essence, this tailgate lock has become an invaluable addition to my truck. It’s a simple yet effective solution for preventing theft, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to secure their vehicle’s tailgate without compromising on style or functionality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evita el robo de tu tapa de batea
Verified PurchaseExcelente producto, sino fuera por este seguro me hubieran robado mi tapa de mi batea. Cuando llegue en el lugar que había dejado mi camioneta la encontré con la tapa abajo y el seguro maltratado pero no lo pudieron quitar los ladrones.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente así que no dudes en ponérselo en tu camioneta

5.0 out of 5 stars Super quality, great design, a key, is the only way to remove it? Fantastic idea no more worrying
Verified PurchaseThis is a really great design. The super part about it is that it has the key. So if you should happen to forget to lock the tailgate, and you're going to because I have, and then I started reading where everybody's stealing tailgates, this was a no-brainer, even if you forget they open it up, they can't take it because it takes a key. It's not worth your time and effort to try to tear it off. They'll move on. Go somewhere else, easy to install. Not easy to remove it fit. Perfect. It's a great deal for the money and it was really good. Build quality, it's very easy to install. There's no reason not to get this one. It's a great design, great idea. And super, to protect your tailgate from being stolen, don't be a dummy and say you should have got this one before, believe me, when I tell you, it's something you need and you better get it. And if you don't have your tailgate, stolen, then you're lucky, but there's a good chance that it could happen. Don't wait and close the door after the barn horses got out
