Sport Trucks Specialty - Gate Keeper™ Tailgate Security Device
Pickup truck tailgate theft is a common and growing problem. They are easy to remove and worth hundreds of dollars on the black market. Protect yours before it's too late!
What is the Gate Keeper™? A custom formed steel bracket that bolts right to the bed of your truck, or the tailgate itself (depending on the model,) preventing thieves from easily lifting the tailgate off the truck.
Tailgates are easy to remove and worth big money!
Why steal tailgates? Thieves learned long ago that tailgates are easy to sell. A trucks tailgate is often the first thing to be damaged either in an accident or through everyday use. When this happens, it is easy to find a matching gate, without damage, on someone else's truck. To buy a new tailgate through a dealer, the cost can easily add up to $1000 or more after painting, so if someone finds they can buy a nice used one for $200, the incentive is there to not ask many questions. Remember, even if you have a locking handle on your gate, it must be locked to prevent someone from stealing your tailgate. If your not sure if your handle will always be locked, install a Gate Keeper™ as an added level of security to ensure you won't be a victim of this expensive crime. The most common place to lose a tailgate? Shopping malls, grocery stores and home improvement store parking lots!
The Gate Keeper™ bolts onto your truck and covers the pivot point so the tailgate cannot be removed without proper tools. Notice: The Gate Keeper™ is NOT a lock and will not protect valuables left in the bed of the truck. The Gate Keeper™ is strictly a theft deterrent to help protect your tailgate from theft. We makes no warranties, written or implied, that the Gate Keeper™ will protect your vehicle or your personal property from theft or vandalism.
