Today we're going to be taking a look at part number 63228. This is the Tow Ready Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler Lock for 2-inch couplers. This is designed to fit most 2-inch couplers. It's going to feature an easy, single action key that's going to be this portion here. All you have to do is place that in, push it a little bit and then give it a turn. That's going to disengage the pin, allowing this portion here to fit around the socket of the coupler.
This needs to go around the lip that surrounds the base of the socket. Once you get that on there, you don't even have to have the key installed in order to lock it back in place. All you have to do is push this up. This is going to go around the inside lip of that socket where your hitch ball goes. In between this portion here is going to be the down portion of the front of the socket. Again, that's where your hitch balls are going to go.
That's going to prevent this from being able to back off of the coupler. This is designed to protect unattended trailers. It's going to come with 2 keys that use a pick-resistant design. Down here you can see the support system. This design shields the lock from tampering devices.
It's going to be made from a steel construction with a nice protective finish to stand up well against rust and corrosion. The lock an the pin assembly are steel as well and appear to have a nice zinc coating on them. Again, this is designed to fit most 2-inch couplers. A few measurements to go over real quick with you to see if this is going to fit your coupler. The coupler width, including the lip, must not exceed the inside measurement here, which is going to be 3-13/16 of an inch. It also cannot exceed the height that this portion gives us right here of the lip, which is going to be 5/16 of an inch.
Now replacement keys are available. You can find those right here at etrailer.com. I'm going to go ahead and show you how this would install. I have a 2-inch coupler here today. The measurements fit within the measurements that I listed. All we have to do is place this around the lip, push up on the pin. Even though the swivel's a little bit around that socket portion, around the lip, it's still engaged with that pin here on the underside. It's going to prevent the lock from being able to come off and it's going to prevent anybody from being able to hook up to our trailer. That's going to do it for our review of part number 63228. This is the Tow Ready Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler Lock for 2-inch couplers. .

fits good would be hard to remove by a thief, shipping was fast 130696
well nobody has stolen my trailer and I cant see anyway that they would be able to get this lock off without using a cutting torch and making a whole lot of noise

I purchased my trailer used, but in excellent shape and the seller had the Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler lock on the unit. He would not let the lock go with the trailer and spoke so highly of it, I purchased my own. I could not be more pleased with the product or etrailer.com. Their service was speedy and flawless and the price of this item ranged widely from several vendors and their price was the best by far. 45486

Feels solid. The lock is beefy. It does not feel cheap. It fit my haulmark 6x10 perfectly. 98547
by: Gene Raley, Raley&Raley Builders03/23/2017
Love the product and purchased another one 18 years prior, never a problem. The only disparaging remark is that I could not purchase additional keys and to have the keys replicated is not possible because of the design. But all in all, I would recommend the purchase of this product. 357525
Thanks for the 1 year follow up Gene, if you would like replacement keys CKEY-BS will work for these Gorilla Guard lock. You will need to enter your existing key number.

Havn't had the product long enough for a complete evaluation but it is exactly as I expected it to be and fits my 10x6' trailer that I haul my trike and other things on as expected and as decribed. I use it along with a hasp lock and plan to take vacation with it soon. 356001

Have been looking for a drop hitch and vehicle/trailer flucuate between 3 1/4" to 4 1/2" drop depending upon load(s). Researched many and BW seemed to be best/recommended choice. Haven't used yet, but very solid construction. 295279

Works well. Like just about any other lock in that a determined thief with simple tools could force it off the coupler. 93146

Review from a similar Tow Ready Lifelong in Trailer Locks
The build quality is good and strong and it fit all 3 of my trailers with different hitch types. I was glad to save money instead of buying more expensive ones. Having a thinner "shackle" part on top, that would be easier to cut through than some of the other massive locks, though, if someone really wanted to take the time. My only complaint: the lock part was faulty. The key would not go in all the way, just about 1/8 of an inch more and it would be in all the way. I was frustrated that I would have to send it back and waste time, so I hit the key and after a few very hard taps it went in. So it works, key turns fine, but I have to tap it in every time - something is obstructing it or not quite right in there. Otherwise it's fine. 138770

Review from a similar Tow Ready Lifelong in Trailer Locks
It hasn't been in weather yet but so far so good. Fits snugly and I can sleep easy knowing my trailer is locked up and would be hard for someone to grab without putting a lot of noise and effort into it. 85745
We had one on a trailer at work, the key would not work after repeated attempts to open it with teflon and graphite. It was inoperable so as a last attempt I got a 4 lb. sledge and after striking it twice it was in pieces. Cast metal is never a good choice for security, always go for solid steel.
comment by: michael - 09/21/2013
I had one for two years until the lock would not open. 30 seconds with a battery operated Sawzall and I was home free. Which tells me all I need to know.

Review from a similar Tow Ready Lifelong in Trailer Locks
This tongue lock is nothing fancy but works exactly as described. I use it on my trailer every day while it's sitting next to my house and I know that it is going to take someone a bunch of work to be able to take this piece off. I am not saying that it is not possible but I believe it is a good deterrent and hopefully will make the person go take my neighbors trailer who does not have one instead of mine. I've had zero problems with rust and I live in Arkansas where we get some moisture. I have bought many other products from etrailer and have had great success with everything, good company. 263522

Review from a similar Tow Ready Lifelong in Trailer Locks
This was exactly what I was looking for. Even with a padlock on the hitch, a person can still take your trailer if they have bolt cutters. This looks like it would take a cutting torch and lots more time in the event someone was trying to take it. I feel lots better about parking my trailers with these installed. etrailer.com is a great place to buy everything you need for your trailer. I paid for standard shipping but my package came in record time. You can bet I'll be a return customer. 58107

Review from a similar Tow Ready Lifelong in Trailer Locks
Does the job. Easy to use. Like the yellow color. Kind of warns off miscreants from a distance. Good idea, that. 77344
Ive had one of these for a few years and can now OPEN IT BY KICKING THE YELLOW BODY DOWNWARD with my foot. It appears the locking paw may have rusted enough to cause an insecure situation! Ive applied lubricant to the paw to make sure its sliding full throw but this did not help.
comment by: Ted H - 05/07/2013
Thanks for the added information. We have found that wet lubricants, like WD-40, can gum up the locking mechanism and affect operation. Dry lubricants, like a graphite powder, work better.
Patrick B - 5/13/2013bought one and it will not fit my any Airstream 2 516 coupler. bummer
comment by: Larry - 08/10/2013
Thanks for the update. If you can, we would like to see pictures of the coupler so we can add appropriate information to the page.

Review from a similar Tow Ready Lifelong in Trailer Locks
Just received the lock today and tried it out. So far, so good. The over-rider bar on the lock covers the pull pin on the tongue latch, so it cannot be removed, without removing the trailor coupler lock first. Thanx, Don A. 53677

Review from a similar Tow Ready Lifelong in Trailer Locks
It's not very heavy construction, but for the price it offers high visibility security (as a deterrent) and functions as advertised. It's not suitable for larger tongues unless you flip it around backwards, as the width seems to be intended for 2" or smaller (2-5/16ths tongue requires you flip it backwards). That said, I'd buy more. It's bright yellow and says, "Yes, there's a lock here." 209956

Review from a similar Tow Ready Lifelong in Trailer Locks
The idea of this lock is great, and I can see where it would be very useful in many situations. However, the shank isn't long enough, and we can't get it around our coupler properly (not enough space in order to lock the thing). So, it's really not useable for us- if only the shanks were about 1-2 inches longer! We will have to look at other products and manufacturers out there. 266748
