Question:

The 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 lock cylinder more secure.
