Never used one, never will. With a locking hard tonneau I like the ability to lock things up. With the notched tail gates you loose that option.

No "option" lost!..:R.
I have a locking Fold-A-Cover (hard cover), a very basic - and very stout - TG from Northern Tool that can be locked with any cheap or serious padlock I choose.
At one -or both- sides if I so choose.
A bit of simple and easy ingenuity was involved...;)
As well as for a removable (when the TG is open) section for the "notch".
Sure - *ANY* car door or tailgate *CAN* be defeated by a dedicated thief - but for my TG the thief better have bolt cutters for hardened steel and figure out how to get 'em on an Abus padlock.
Or - maybe a GIANT pry bar!
And - said thief will most likely be able to get into my -or your-
bed cover (with that pry bar) easier than my TG...:R
Of course my bed cover is *NOT* in place when I'm towing.
Maybe you have a solution for that with your "hard tonneau"..:h
Anyway - whatever rings your "never will" chimes...:C
