Default Tailgate lock

Since I just paid off my Ram, I decided to splurge and buy a tri-fold tonneau cover.
The old one was impossible to snap back on unless it was sunny and warm outside (A rare occurrence here in northeast Ohio).
I scored a pretty nice one off of Ebay and as easy as it is to put on, I can just see how easy it would be for someone to remove it and steal it.
Does anyone have a good source for a locking tailgate handle?
I would like to be able to key it so the ignition key works in it but that's not that important.
Thanks in advance.

Bought my Bully at NAPA a few years ago.

Thanks for the replies.
I never thought to try NAPA.
I did however see that Poplock one and didn't really like the way it attaches for some reason.
I do like the idea of the automatic lock but all I was finding was for 2009 and up Rams.
