PL2310 Pop & Lock T/G Lock
Anyone install one of these? Online reviews are extremely polarized; 50% of the respondents say it's total s***, and the rest think it's good.
Note - I did read a few reviews that said it didn't work properly and/or could not be installed until it was modified...in one case quite extensively, with grinding! and multiple test-fittings.
Hmm.

Thank you, gentlemen. Hopefully there'll be a few more opinions posted, 'cuz right now I'm not feeling too good about the $55 investment [that I am contemplating].
And since we're talking about T/G security...
Does anyone have the locking band/strap/cuff on their pass side tailgate pivot? It's unsettling how easily it lifts off without one! I realize it's intended as a convenience thing [for the owner] but sheesh!
The McGard locking band looks pretty good, and I have no complaints with McGard products.

This. Mine actually died 1-2 years ago. It's either the wiring or the part itself. I never attempted to fix it. I was annoyed but at the same time dgaf. It's also only protecting the tailgate, anyone can open the tonneau or reef hard enough as quoted above...

Simple security for sure but keeps someone from quickly walking away with your tailgate
Install it so you can only access it to remove from the bottom with the tailgate partially open making it harder to remove quickly.

For a tailgate lock I'll be going with the PaceEdwards PowerGate... just looks like a better idea

Follow-up
I installed the [manual] P/L. It was simple, and it is unobtrusive, but it only resists the swing-out action of the handle on one side...so I think it offers minimal deterrent.
Against little kids - sure, otherwise...I'd say give it a pass unless it is installed in conjunction with a good-quality hard cover locking system (like mine is)
$0.02
