Many people are asking the question do the Bak Bakflip Tonneau Covers lock and I am here to tell you that most do not actually lock with a key to open it. It does latch down and you have to open the tailgate to open it. Then you pull the latch release to open the cover at each fold. So your cover will stay down to the exact place you opened it to. You can watch the video a little farther down in the posting to see exactly what I am talking about.
If you ever owned one of those other covers that unlock on top with a key you know exactly what I am about to say. These locks get so bad from weather especially in the winter that you may not even be able to use your cover all winter. I know I've had that problem myself and I know others that had that problem as well. I had a hard fiberglass cover, I couldn't get the lock opened and you need the cover up to get the tailgate opened so I could not use my truck bed at all.
The Bakflip Tonneau Cover latches are underneath the cover. At least if something ever did go wrong, you could lower your tailgate to get at it. If you did need more security for your cargo area you can always add an aftermarket tailgate lock. One such lock is the Pop & Lock. A Keyed lock, easy to install.
