You park. You walk away. That's it.

No second-guessing. No quick scan of the parking lot before you go inside. No nagging thought about whether the tent is still there when you get back.

The Gatekeeper locks your rooftop tent to your crossbar. Anyone who wants your tent has to get through the hardware first. Most don't bother.


Why This Exists

Rooftop tents are a target. They're expensive, easy to identify, and standard mounts don't stop anyone determined enough. RTTs are stolen from parking lots, trailheads, and driveways — and resold on used marketplaces where there's no trace.


How It Works

The Gatekeeper is a locking rooftop tent mount with spacers providing bolt cutter protection. It attaches to your rack the same way a standard mount does. Add one or more — lock as many corners as you want.

Once it's locked, removal requires the key.

Product key benefits:

  • Investment protection — keep the gear you worked so hard for
  • Park in the city or at the trailhead with confidence
  • Lock it and stop thinking about it

Product key features:

  • Bolt cutter protection provided by the spacer assembly
  • Rust free — corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminum construction
  • Low profile — no height added to the tent
  • Compatible with most racks: round, tubular, rectangular, and brand-specific load bars (check your clearance, ensure you have access to operate the mount)
  • Edge flange supports the base mount and prevents it from bending into an arc
  • Direct fit for most roof top tents

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included?

1x Stainless steel base locking mount
1x Stainless steel cover plate
2x Aluminum telescoping spacer assemblies
1x Tubular Push Lock with 2 keys
1x Stainless steel hardware kit

Will it fit?

Yes, if you have 2.2″ or more of clearance between the roof and bottom of your roof rack then it will fit. Fits cross bars up to 4.3″ width and 2.0″ thick.

No, if you have less than 2.2″ between the roof and the bottom of your roof rack. With less than 2.2″, there won’t be enough room to install the bottom cover plate. These won’t work with Rhino Rack Pioneer Platforms or if side panels block your access to operate the mounts.

How many locking mount assemblies do I need?

One locking roof top tent mount will prevent an unauthorized removal of your tent. However, redundancy may help add an additional level of security if desired. If you wish to send the message, “keep on walking”, a second locking mount may be added. 

Will the locks be keyed alike?

Yes, if you order more than one mount, the locks will be keyed alike.
