Many pickup truck owners are looking for the security that Truck Hard Covers will provide their cargo. Not only is protection from thieves important but from the weather is important as well. Afterall you wouldn’t want precious cargo floating around underneath your tonneau cover without realizing it until you got to your destination. Especially if it is a delivery to a customer.
Hard covers usually come in two categories, a hinged type and a folding type. The hinged type are constructed of a variety of different materials. Fiberglass is a favorite which is usually painted to match the trucks factory paint code. They look real sharp and are of themost weather tight. Security is very good with these covers as you need to lift the cover to open the tailgate. The cover itself is lockable. Some of these truck hard covers have the option of adding a wing also known as a spoiler to add a sportier look to the vehicle.
Also in the hinged type truck hard covers there are some that are available constructed of various plastics and polymer’s that are a little more affordable than the fiberglass covers. Some of these have the advantage of being removed in seconds unlike the heavier fiberglass covers.
The Folding type truck hard covers have the advantage of carrying cargo that is higher than the sides of the truck box. Many pickup truck owners prefer the folding tonneau cover type because of the usability factor. They are faster than the roll ups and add more security. Easy access and the ability to use their entire truck box is why they are such a favorite. Most of these are not lockable but their latches to open them are under the truck cover so the tailgate must be lowered to open them. If you add an aftermarket tailgate lock you have a very secured cargo area.
The tailgate lock has the advantage over a lock on the top of the cover in the winter. The locks on top of a truck hard cover will get moisture in them very often making them very hard to use. There are problems like this with any product you purchase. Whatever product you choose I am sure you will be happy with it.
