Video Transcript for Tow Ready Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler Lock Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Tow Ready Grill and Guard Coupler Lock. We've got two sizes available. The 2" is part number 63228; the 2-5/16" is part number 63227. These trailer coupler locks are great for securing your unattended trailer, preventing anybody from being able to hook up to them. They offer a gorilla guard design, which as you can see is a nice, heavy-duty lip, with structural supports all the way around our lock to prevent any kind of tampering. It has a single action, cylinder style key. Push in, a quarter turn out.
Key is removable. To attach it to your trailer we simply bring it onto our coupler, push up on the lock. As you can see that's all there is to it. Our trailer is secure, we can leave it for a while and don't have to worry about anybody hooking up to it and it getting taken from us. Now that we've gone over the details and you've seen how it works, that will complete today's look at the Tow Ready Gorilla Guard Coupler Locks, part number 63228 in 2" and part number 63227 in 2-5/16". .

Very impressive hitch lock. I put it on my log splitter and I feel like it is safe now. I had one stollen, but I don’t think they will get this one.
Comments
I now have one on my trailer and pull behind smokergrill as well as my log splitter. So the locks have worked well. Great product.

Still works well.

The coupler lock works as advertised and the etrailer measurements were perfect. The tie down brackets were also easy to install and work well for holding down my ATV and UTV. The spare tire carrier, wheel and cover all came from etrailer. They fit perfectly.

Excellent product, excellent customer service. Highly recommend.

Great lock

Feels solid. The lock is beefy. It does not feel cheap. It fit my haulmark 6x10 perfectly.
by: Dan B.09/01/2019
Trailer hitch lock still working great 1 year later. An advantage of this cylinder lock system is that once you take it off the hitch, you can take the key out and when ready to lock your hitch again, just slide it on and push the lock up into the ball receptacle - job done.

I have 4 of these locks on my trailers for the last 20 plus years and have never had any issues whatsoever. Best lock for A frame type couplers.

Seems very well built. Now I have peace of mind that no one will steal my boat at a storage facility.

I purchase 3 trailer locks from etrailer, Heidi took care of the order and everything was shipped out promptly and handled correctly. Yes I plan to order more from etrailer in the future. Very satisfied, Jack
by: Tom06/25/2012
I purchased my trailer used, but in excellentshape 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.
by: Alan03/27/2019
Great transaction , great product , purchased trailer tongue lock that comes with two keys for $29.95.(FAIR PRICE) . I could not order product with additional keys, I had to wait for the lock and then order additional keys. TWO ADDITIONAL KEYS COST MORE THAN THE LOCK , $37.84 for two keys. Just doesn't seem right!!!
by: Peter05/14/2013
This trailer coupler lock fits my trailer well.
Shipping was quick. I am satisified.
Thank you, etrailer.

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.
by: Butch Parks03/15/2014
Great product and this is my second purchase for new trailer. Fast shipping and I can always seem to find what I need here. Great customer service too, if I have questions.
by: Glen10/19/2017
Installed easy enough, looks nice. Hopefully the Mission trailer will remain in the church parking lot with this added protection. Glen, Smithfield

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.
by: Robert 12/06/2021
Works great! Easy to instal and remove.

E Trailer is the best of the best for there service.Christy who helped me place my order was helpful and shipping follow up was most helpful. I would buy from E Trailer again!
by: Ben08/26/2019
Fit right onto a standard 2" ball coupler. Very easy to lock onto trailer. Should deter most thieves effectively.
by: joe07/16/2013
Its very quick to put on and seems fairly stout, I feel better knowing its on my trailer when I leave it unattended.
by: Robert 03/02/2021
Nice addition to a trailer that is left out. Still works well.

See what our Experts say about this Tow Ready Trailer Coupler Locks
- Selecting a Secure Coupler LockThe purpose of any lock is to keep honest people honest. If the potential thief is determined, any lock can be eventually defeated. The key is to make defeating the lock as difficult, time consuming and noisy as possible. The design of Gorilla Guard Coupler Lock part # 63228 helps make defeating it more difficult than other locks because the actual locking pin is inaccessible when the lock is in place. The fact that this lock uses a barrel style key instead of a flat key also makes the...
view full answer... - Coupler Lock Recommendation for a 2015 Jayco White Hawk 27DSRLIf the coupler on your 2015 Jayco White Hawk 27DSRL has a lip that does not exceed 3-13/16 inches and is not thicker than 5/16 inches the Gorilla Guard Coupler Lock part # 63228 that you referenced would work well for you. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
view full answer... - Does Every Gorilla Guard Coupler Lock Come with Same KeyEach Trailer Coupler Lock part # 63228 that you referenced comes with a unique key. They would not all come with the same key so you wouldn't have to worry about someone else with the same lock being able to unlock your trailer.
view full answer... - Is There A Replacement Barrel And Key For A 2 Inch Gorilla Coupler Lock?We don't have any replacement parts available for the Gorilla Guard Coupler locks. You would need to replace the entire coupler lock with # 63228 to get the new barrel and key. I've attached a video of this product for you.
view full answer... - Warranty of Gorilla Guard Coupler Lock for 2 Inch CouplersThe Trailer Coupler Lock - Gorilla Guard for 2" Couplers # 63228 comes with a 1-year warranty. I have added links to a couple video reviews of this lock for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Coupler Lock For A 2006 Jayco J-Series Pop-Up TrailerWhen it comes to installing The Trailer Coupler Lock - Gorilla Guard for 2 inch Couplers # 63228 will work for your 2006 Jayco J-Series Pop-Up trailer if the coupler width (including the lip) cannot exceed 3-3/16 inches.

view full answer... - How To Get A Gorilla Grip Trailer Coupler Lock Off When The Keys Are MissingTo get the old Trailer Coupler Lock # 63228 off you're going to need to drill out the lock core to be able to get it to release from the trailer coupler. This won't be a super easy process, but is the only way. There are lubes available for drill bits to help prevent overheating and dulling of the drill bit, so I recommend picking some up from your local hardware store.
view full answer... - Which Coupler Lock Would Best Fit my 2-5/16 Inch Coupler with a 3-3/4 Inch Wide LipThe Gorilla Guard for 2 inch couplers, part # 63228, would be so snug it would not be easy to get on and off, not to mention the curved portion up front may not fit the larger 2-5/16 coupler nose. The Gorilla Guard for 2-5/16 inch couplers, part # 63227, would be a better fit, though it will accept couplers of a greater width than yours, it should not be loose enough that it would not be able to prevent theft. You could also look into a different style of lock. I have included a link...
view full answer... - What Materials are the Gorilla Guard Coupler Locks Made OfI called the manufacturer regarding the construction of the the Gorilla Guard Locks, part # 63228 and part # 63227. The main portion is a black-painted SAE-903 spec. steel casting. I pulled the lock from our warehouse to take a close look. The lock and pin are cast as well and appear to have a zinc coating. The keys are brass.
view full answer... - Choosing the Correct Size Trailer Coupler LockThe coupler size should match the ball size it is coupling to. If you have a ball with a 2 inch diameter then you would need a 2 inch coupler lock. If the ball is 2-5/16 inches in diameter you would need a 2-5/16 inch coupler lock. For 2 inch we have the Trailer Coupler Lock - Gorilla Guard # 63228 that is featured in the video you cited. For 2-5/16 inch we have the Trailer Coupler Lock - Gorilla Guard # 63227.
view full answer... - Gorilla Guard Coupler Lock Recommendation for a 2-5/16 inch Wide Lip CouplerYes, it sounds like you would want a Gorilla Guard For 2-5/16 inch Couplers # 63227. This is a Gorilla Guard coupler lock that is designed for 2-5/16 inch couplers that should work well for you.
view full answer... - Coupler Lock for 2016 Jayco Jay Flight 27BHSWIf your 2016 Jayco Jay Flight has a coupler for a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball, you will likely want to use the coupler lock # 63227. If the coupler on your trailer is for a 2 inch hitch ball, check out lock # 63228. These locks fit around the lip running along the bottom of the coupler. If your coupler does not have this lip, feel free to send me a photo of the coupler whenever you get the chance and I will be glad to make a more specific recommendation.
view full answer... - Can a Key for a Gorilla Guard Coupler Lock be Replaced without the Key NumberTo replace the keys for the Gorilla Guard coupler lock you must have the key number.

view full answer... - Replacement Key Needed for Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler LockIt sounds like you are looking for the replacement key from Reese. Reese is a sister company of Fulton and Tow Ready who is now carrying the Gorilla Guard Coupler Locks # 63228 and # 63227. Replacement keys are no longer available so replacing the lock is the best option we can offer now.
view full answer... - Gorilla Guard Coupler Locks for 2-Inch and 2-5/16-Inch Ball CouplersWe do offer a version of the Gorilla Guard for 2-5/16-inch couplers, part # 63227. Part # 63228 that you referenced fits 2-inch ball couplers.
view full answer... - Gorilla Guard Coupler Lock Recommendation for 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch Ball Coupler2-1/8 inch is not a standard hitch ball size. Because of that none of the locks we offer like the part # 63228 are going to fit. You might measure again to see if you happen to have a 2-5/16 inch ball which would mean you would need the # 63227 instead. If you do happen to have a 2 inch ball the part # 63228 would be a fit.
view full answer... - Replacement Key for Barrel Style Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler LocksWe do have replacement locks available but replacement keys for your Gorilla Guard lock are no longer available. The only option we have for you is to replace the coupler lock using part # 63227 for 2-5/16" hitch balls or part # 63228 for 2" hitch balls.
view full answer... - Options for Needing a Replacement Barrel Key for a Fulton Gorilla Guard Coupler LockIt sounds like you are looking for a replacement barrel key from Reese. Reese is a sister company of Fulton and Tow Ready who carries the Gorilla Guard Coupler Locks # 63228 (2") and # 63227 (2-5/16"). Replacement keys are no longer available, replacing the lock is unfortunately the best option we can offer.
view full answer... - Are Replacement Keys Available For The Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler LockUnfortunately replacement keys are not currently available so the only option is going to be a full replacement of the lock to get new keys. We carry a 2" # 63228 and 2-5/16" # 63227 option so you'll just need to choose the correct size for your trailer coupler.
view full answer... - Replacement Key for Fulton Outboard Motor Lock OML0127There are replacement keys available for your Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler Lock # 63228 but you would need to know the key number to get the replacement at part CKEY-BS.

- 2 Inch Trailer Coupler Locks that Can be Keyed Alike for a Fleet of TrailersWe have several coupler locks for 2 inch couplers that can be ordered keyed alike but the Gorilla Guard # 63228 is not one of them. I have included a link for you to the ones that can be ordered keyed alike. A lock such as # e98895 is similar to the Gorilla Guard. You would just select the keyed alike option, near the add to cart button on the product page, select the quantity and they will all be keyed the same.
view full answer... - Are There Replacement Keys for Tow Ready Trailer Coupler LocksI do have an option for you but we no longer offer replacement keys for Tow Ready products like the Trailer Coupler Lock part # 63228. If you would like to replace the lock in favor of one with replacement keys, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98893 which you can order multiple of with the same key using the keyed alike option and you can obtain extra or replace the keys if needed. If you want extra keys or need to replace them, just let me know what key number you have.
