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. Redline Technical Group, Inc. makes no warranties, written or implied, that the Gate Keeper® will protect your vehicle or your personal property from theft or vandalism.

The tailgate pivots along the bottom edge. On the right side, there is a slot in the female portion of the gate pivot point which allows the gate to be lifted off the truck without any special tools. This is the area that the Gate Keeper® guards. 1. Open the tailgate and clean the head of the bolt on the tailgates edge, near the pivot point. |
 |
|
2. Using a Torx head T-40 bit, remove the factory bolt and put it somewhere safe in case you ever need it again. This photo is just showing the bolt removed. Clean out the factory hole of any thread lock adhesive or dirt before proceeding.

| This kit comes with allen head security bolt and the tool to install or remove it. You will need a Torx bit and drive handle to remove the factory bolt to be replaced with this one. | |
|
3. Next, place the curved end of the Gate Keeper® over the tailgate pivot. Thread the replacement bolt into the factory hole. Use the washer and provided tool to tighten the bolt in place.
|
 |
4. With the Gate Keeper® over the pivot point and the bolt tightened down, move the tailgate up and down to check for any interference. Store the installation/removal tool in a safe place, like the glove box in case you ever need to remove your tailgate. All done! |
