Yes. There is a lock on the side of the console extender. The old lock cylinder can be removed and you can either plug the hole with a plug provided or use something they call a "landing pad" which is a round metal disk with a rubber pad attached to the top of it. On it's underside is a metal cylinder which slips into the hole where the lock cylinder used to be. I didn't install that piece yet.

The old lock becomes non-functional. The original latch that used to lock the lid down now serves to secure the front of the extender down. The rear of the extender had a flat metal tongue that hooks behind the console where the old lid hinge used to be and secures the back of the extender down. There are no holes drilled to attached this console. It installs over all existing hardware and this whole thing is easily resversable. In less than an hour you can put it back the way it was. I like having a separate key for the center console.
