Today we're going to take a look at the Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock, with the lug nut protector plate. Now, this is a nice easy to use, highly visible system that'll prevent theft of vehicles, trailers, and ATVs. It's a nice self locking claw, that'll clamp around the tire. Prevents rolling of the tire. It does use a laser encrypted key to lock this tire claw into place around your tire. Now, these keys being laser encrypted cannot be duplicated. Has this nice covered lock guard over the lock cylinder, protects the cylinder from the elements getting to it.
When you're done just clip that over there and protects it. If you notice on the end of these claws, there's the black portion. That's a vinyl dipped tire claw arm right here. That helps protect your wheel rim, so when you clamp it around it that vinyl portion will protect your rim from getting damaged. Now, the protector plate that this one comes with. This is designed to install on the claw arm to prevent removal of your wheels lug nuts.
Besides clamping this on the tire to keep it from rolling, with this protector plate on it it'll cover the lug nuts to keep anybody from trying to remove the tire. Now, the protector plate itself is a combination 5mm aluminum outside layer and a 4mm steel inside layer, that are molded together to form this one piece protector plate. If you notice on the inside portion has this nice EVA foam on it. The back of the plate helps to protect your wheel rim from the scratches. When it's on the arm and it goes over the lug nuts you can see if it does touch your wheel that foam will protect it from any damage. Now, it comes with the mounting screws to install this onto the arm.
Basically what you'll do . Let me just open this claw up and I'll show you. If you turn the key quarter of a turn you can latch it all the way open. Take your key out and then you'll notice as you push it in it'll lock into that position. Basically what you would do, is on that outer arm, you'll just take your plate.
Lay it on there like that and you'll line your hole up and then drill your hole and tap it. Using the mounting screws, go ahead and install it on just like that. Then, it'll give your protector plate on the outside arm, just like that. Now, with this open you'll just go ahead and put it around your tire and wheel. Lets open it up a little bit more. There we go. Now with it around there, you can put it completely around the tire wheel. As you push it in and ratchet it in, push it in all the way and it'll lock into place. It won't open. You see if I try pulling it, it won't open. You notice like that as it's locked into place, keeps the tire from rolling and you can see the lug nut protector plate will cover the lugs to keep anybody from trying to remove the lugs on the wheel. This is designed to fit most wheels. It will fit tires that are up to 12" wide and it is a 1 piece design. Then to remove it all you have to do is flip this open, put your key in there, and when you unlock it you can see you can just pop it off. Just like that. Very easy to install and very easy to remove. That should do it for the review on the Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock with the lug nut protector plate.
Average Customer Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars (33 Customer Reviews)
This anti-theft device provides your car, trailer or ATV with highly visible, locking security. The claw clamps easily around your tire and wheel and locks into place, and the protector plate covers your wheel's lug nuts to prevent their removal.The claw is well made. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the plate covering the lug nuts is too small to be effective and will have to be modified. Additionally, the shape of "fingers" needs to be improved as it is currently designed they do not fit between the rim and brake drum of a standard 15" wheel/10" drum combination. As another line of defense against thieves it serves it's intended purpose. If nothing else, it looks the part. 249076
Doesn't fit on the wheel of my trailer it's useless 465451
etrailer has been a much needed assistance to me. I don't know trailers well but they offer help every single time I need to call. Try them. 433991
Barry M - 09/22/2018Had my trailer locked up on the job site with two locks on the trailer. They were able to remove the locks in the trailer was stolen. 657599
Mike L - 06/15/2019Installing the lug nut plate was not nice, they sent the screw that attaches the plate to the club arm, and instructions simply say to drill a 6 mm hole in the arm, but doesn't say anything about tapping the hole for the screw to screw in. If i wasn't mechanically adept and already knew how to do these sort of things, I would be SOL. Otherwise, I like the device. Richard 105819
I bought the Club wheel lock for my trailer. The fork to the rear of the tire does not properly clear the brake disk assembly, therefore the Club unit mounts crooked. This makes it impossible to use the lug nut plate. I am resigned to using just the Club attachment. 63144
I have two complaints about this product. 1) The plate which covers up the lug nuts does not come ready to assemble. A 6 mm hole must be drilled into the the claw. Lame. If you are that handy with tools, save yourself some money by cutting and drilling your own flat plate--that is all it is. 2) This lock comes with three keys and it is not possible to get extras. I am notorious for losing keys so I called Club to get extras--they said they didn't have any--I'd have to get them from a lock smith. And the two locksmiths I talked to said I'd have to get them from the company. 11426

Review from a similar Tire Claw XL in Wheel Locks
No one has stolen our trailer which is a plus. However, it doesn't fit as tight as I would like. It seems to be more of a visible deterrent than one that couldn't be removed with a crowbar. I think this would be a 5 star product if it was more adjustable. It is well made. 595461
