Pop & Lock Introduces The GateDefender, Universal Tailgate Lock (PL9900)
Green Bay, WI – Pop & Lock LLC, a worldwide provider of tailgate security products, announced the release of their newest product for tailgate security, The GateDefender™. This newly modified product is a universal model that locks the tailgate to the truck.
Designed to fit all truck platforms on the road today, the new PL9900 is designed similar to a padlock that fits around the tailgate hinge and locks the tailgate to the truck. Once locked into place, the tailgate can easily open and close but cannot be removed without the included key. The GateDefender also includes a new adapter ring to accommodate smaller trucks.
“Earlier this year, after successfully launching a similar product, we made some enhancements to provide additional compatibility for such popular mid-size truck platforms as the Toyota Tacoma and GM’s new Colorado/Canyon. As tailgate thefts are on the rise, The GateDefender is a great accessory for every truck owner. Easily installed in minutes, The GateDefender will give customers peace of mind knowing their tailgate is protected even when their truck is unlocked.” says Jeff Pierquet, VP of Sales and Marketing for Pop & Lock.
