Tailgate Ventilation Lock — Portable, lightweight tailgate limiter for safe ventilation and basic security Key benefits Portable and lightweight: easy to carry, install and remove when needed. Simple operation: lets you close the tailgate to a controlled ventilation gap and lock it in that position. Security while ventilating: when locked, the tailgate cannot be opened from the outside. Keeps fresh air flowing into the cabin even when the vehicle is locked or unattended. Not compatible with power-operated tailgates. What it does Creates a fixed ventilation gap by limiting how far the tailgate closes, then secures the tailgate in that position. Prevents the tailgate from being opened from outside when the device is engaged. Designed for manual tailgates; it is portable and intended for temporary use (attach/remove as required). Compatibility and important notes Not suitable for vehicles equipped with a power (motorized) tailgate. For vehicles with barn-style doors: due to the door design (doors that do not open fully), this device can cause the vehicle to be locked out from the outside. Exercise caution and verify fit before use. Practical uses Pet safety: keep pets confined to the cargo area with secure ventilation while parked or overnight. Ventilation while parked: maintain airflow through the cabin without leaving the tailgate fully open. Secure short-term access: leave the vehicle locked and ventilated during short stops or overnight stays without allowing external opening of the tailgate. Why customers choose this Quick, no-tool installation and removal for flexible use. Portable solution for controlled ventilation and basic tailgate security. Clear compatibility guidance to avoid use with power tailgates or incompatible barn-door designs. Please check your tailgate type and operation before use to ensure compatibility and safe function.
