GWM Cannon Tailgate Central Locking Kit (2021-2026)
Add proper remote-controlled central locking to your GWM Cannon's tailgate. This kit ties the tub latch into your ute's keyless entry, so the tailgate locks and unlocks together with your doors at the press of your remote. It's the smart, factory-style upgrade that keeps tools, recovery gear and cargo secure on the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 GWM Cannon.
What It Is
On its own, the GWM Cannon tailgate isn't tied into your remote central locking — leaving your tub the weak point of the ute. This aftermarket tailgate lock adds a hidden electric actuator to the tailgate mechanism and connects it to your vehicle's central locking. Once fitted, one button on your key fob secures the whole vehicle, cabin and tub included. It's an especially smart pairing if you run a tonneau cover, hard lid, roller cover or canopy, turning your tray into genuine lockable storage.
Why Upgrade Your GWM Cannon
▪ Remote central locking — the tailgate locks & unlocks with your key fob, no extra remote to carry
▪ Protects your cargo — keeps tools, camping and recovery gear safe and out of reach
▪ Deters theft — removes the easy-access tailgate as a target, ideal with a canopy or tonneau
▪ Clean, hidden fit — the actuator mounts out of sight for a genuine factory-style finish
▪ Everyday convenience — no more fumbling with a separate tailgate key
How It Works
The kit installs an electric lock actuator onto the tailgate handle assembly and wires it into the Cannon's central locking circuit using the supplied harness. When you lock the ute with your remote, the actuator drives the tailgate latch into the locked position; unlock, and it releases. Operation is fully automatic, working in sync with your doors.

Installation
This kit wires into your vehicle's central locking circuit and does not include fitting instructions. For that reason we recommend it's installed by a professional auto electrician, trade fitter or an experienced handyman, rather than fitted as a first-time DIY job. Prefer to leave it to the pros? We offer licensed installation at our Chipping Norton (NSW) workshop — ask for a quote before you book, backed by 12-month workmanship coverage.
