That would be annoying if it did. And no it doesn't, it has a keyhole

From My iPhone 5

 

i think i am missing something... what is this for?

 

iPhone 5?

Ordered the tailgate lock.

 

Jim, this thread might shed some light:

Well if you order one of these don't expect it too soon. Ordered mine on 7/21 and estimated delivery date is 8/3 from Louisville, KY.

 

I've been looking for something like this but haven't found anything yet. I think the hose clamp idea is a joke and pretty much any other idea a thief could unscrew or cut. This might just be the solution.

 

That's odd... mine came 2-days after ordering. Perhaps they're low or out of stock.

 

Just ordered one. For $20 bucks, why not.

 

Can anyone tell me if it is made of stainless steel. All I can picture is a hunk of rust hanging on the tailgate. I bought a Master Lock "rustless" locking hitch pin once and I can tell you now that it is covered in rust. I wish I still had the packaging because it it was guaranteed not to rust. If this thing does rust it will cause more harm then good imo.

 

It is stainless steel.
