Not sure if the KK has the same type of latch as the KA, but if it does you can manually lock the gate by rotating a white knob on the latch/lock mechanism. It is behind the gate trim. 1/16th turn counter clockwise will lock it. Turn other way to unlock.
Just remember, if it will not unlock, you will have to climb back there to unlock it.
You can access the knob with the main panel in place. You open the small access panel by pulling on the bottom, then sliding it down.(if it is the same as the KA) The KK manual just says to use a trim stick to remove it.
You can also open the gate from the inside by removing the access panel and pushing the latch release lever down.
Thanks for the locking information. If the vehicle was in a garage at night I probably wouldn't worry too much but sitting in the driveway is a little different. But since there is no key lock on the rear lift gate, most people probably wouldn't think about trying the handle to see if it's locked. Hope to get a better look tomorrow.
