Does this cover lock to prevent thefts of items left in the bed of the pick up truck?

The cover does not lock. Your tailgate should have the lock in it. Once the cover is installed you simply close the tailgate, lock it and you cannot get inside unless you cut the vinyl.

The cover itself does not lock. It clamps from inside/ underneath. If your tailgate locks, it's fairly secure. Of course, if a thief really wants in, the could cut it open through the top.

It's a leather cover. Anyone with any type of prybar could break into it. I wouldn't suggest leaving anything valuable in it.

No lock,however to remove it you need to have the tailgate down which most trucks are equipped with?

It appears like the lock you see on a truck toolbox. Not the highest security but it isn't something you could open with a screwdriver I don't think. It is much better than not having any lock on your mailbox.

The cover has no lock, but cannot be opened or removed without opening the tailgate. So if you have a locking tailgate, then the cover is secure.

No, this cover doesn't have a lock, but the brackets can only be accessed from the inside. If your truck has a locking tailgate, you will be fine.

Yes, locking the tailgate will prevent the cover from being opened. I got this tonneu to secure items in the bed, but still be able to haul large items. This cover has been great by keeping things dry and safe.

It doesn't hide mine, but I've seen someone have their plate tied to their trailer in the up position. They probably switch it for each position.

No, the cover itself does not lock. However, the tailgate does need to be lowered to release the cover. If the truck has a locking tailgate, the cover is essentially locked whenever the tailgate lock is engaged.

No. But the tailgate has to be open to get to the latch. So, if the gate locks the cover is essentially locked also.

The tonneau cover latches to the truck from inside with two latches on each side. If your tailgate is equipped with a lock, the tonneau cover cannot be opened from outside with the tailgate locked (except of course with something like a crowbar. I believe the lock on the tailgate is replaceable if yours does not have a key but it might be a dealer item.

This cover has latching that is covered but the locking/security is provided by the tailgate OEM factory lock or an aftermarket locking handle if the OEM did not have a lock. If you need anything further - please let us know - WebOffroad Andy 714-993-2011

I had a similar one on my 2002 Silverado for almost 10 years until it broke last year. No one ever messed with it. Keeps stuff out of sight, out of mind. I installed a different tailgate latch that included a lock as well.

No, it is a soft top with a double locking seal like a zip-lock bag. I have not had any problems with anyone bothering with mine. If you are wanting to make it a secure area in your truck, I would look for a hard top or roll top. They are more expensive but also more secure.

No, just a that latch that keeps it shut, even if you put a lock on one side the hindges are not very secure and will look tacky.

The cover has four fasteners, two in front that are stationary. The two in the back have handles that you pull down until the hooks go under the bed rail when you let go of the handle the cover is secure. If your tailgate locks the bed is very secure. Even if the cover is pried up a max of maybe an inch it will not unlatch. not perfect but very secure. We've had two trucks with the trifold and have never had an issue.

Great Question! On mine, it only locks the side with the lock, which lends itself to the question "can't they loosen one side and then simply unhook the other side?" and the answer to that question would be yes. That said, the other two straps that connect to the trunk lid will deter / prevent theft because your trunk needs to be opened before they can be detached. I hope that helps.
