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.
1. The tailgate pivots along the bottom edge. On the right side, there is a slot in the pivot joint which allows the gate to be lifted off the truck without any special tools. This is the area that the Gate Keeper® guards. |
 |
|
2. Two mounting slots are provided on the Gate Keeper® bracket. Use the slot appropriate to your vehicle. |
 |
3. Two bolts attach the pivot assembly to the tailgate. The Gate Keeper® bracket will mount using the bolt hole nearest the inside surface of the tailgate.
The top photo to the right (black vehicle) shows the bolt to remove on an F150 or Raptor truck. The bottom photo to the right (white vehicle) shows the bolt to remove on the F250, F350, F450 etc. Super Duty trucks.

| 5. Apply a drop of thread adhesive to the security head bolt from the Gate Keeper® kit. |  |
| 6. Place the hooked end of the Gate Keeper® bracket over the pivot point where the tailgate and truck bed are joined. |  |
|
7. Move the Gate Keeper® bracket into place so that the apporpriate mounting slot aligns with the bolt hole. (F150 Raptor shown). For F250/350/450 trucks, the rear mounting slot will be used. Thread the security head bolt into the hole and tighten using the provided tool. Once in place, test the gate up and down to make sure there is no interference.
