Default Power Tailgate lock?

Anyone installed a product like this? I just installed a cover and this looks like a sweet way to lock the tailgate!

I found a locking tailgate latch and put that on my truck. It uses a key, I supply the power. I have a fiberglass camper shell.

My dad put one on his 2500 after people were stealing tailgates around his area. Was a pretty simple install. Nice and clean.

It might have been autopartswarehouse.com. I don't remember. I think it was around 32 dollars with free shipping. I had an order over $50 to get the free shipping though. I just googled dodge ram locking tailgate latch and started looking at links.

So, if I install an electric tailgate lock, how do I get the tailgate off again since the wires are attached to the truck and the tailgate? Is there a disconnect switch for the wiring?

Bullydog, I believe, makes these too, but for about 1/2 the price of the Pace... at least they did...
