Trailer Coupler Lock - Gorilla Guard for 2-5/16" Couplers

Did not fit my trailer . When the lock is placed on the tongue the lock pin cannot be pushed in. It hits on the lip.1261078

This lock is intended to fit with most couplers as long as the width is not greater than 4.125 inches and with a lip height of 0.31 inches. We do have another universal lock, part # DT25013KA
Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers
$52.71, that works with couplers that are up to 4.5 inches wide.

Doesn't quit fit! it only goes on far enough to get stuck on the 2-5/16 (Ram) brand coupler. Assuming ram is the brand. Won't go on far enough to lock.

This tow ready coupler part # 63227 does fit 2 5/16 inches coupler if the width of the lip of the coupler does not exceed 4 1/8 inches. Also the height of the lip cannot be more than 5/16 of an inch. I went down to the warehouse and tried locks on the 2 5/16 ball ram brand coupler part # CA5400 and the master lock part # ML389DAT will fit your ram brand coupler.

I read a lot of reviews before I bought this lock. Knowing the good and bad. And after getting the lock and trying to fit it on. It didn’t fit. But I understand why it doesn’t fit and why some people return them. I myself didn’t want to return it. This is what found out with mine and my solution. When I looked at the hitch, it wasn’t symmetrical. The ball part looked fine but it was the lip or flange all the way around the hitch that wasn’t the same. The left side of the lip was shorter than the right and the front wasn’t very rounded. There is also a radius from the ball part to the flange that wasn’t quite the same around hitch. Looking at the lock, it was uniformed in and around the whole thing where it supposed to fit the hitch. Fitting the lock on the hitch was hitting the radius that was created from the manufacturer of the hitch. The lock doesn’t have this radius to match the hitch. And I didn’t want to modify the hitch because you want to keep the strength of the hitch for when you pull your trailer. To fix this I started forming a radius on the upper inside of the slot where the flange would fit inside of the lock to match the hitch radius. Started at the corners at the opening. Rounding it little by little with lots of trips back and forth just until the lock portion would fit up inside of the ball opening. Making sure I didn’t go to far to be to loose. I ended up not taking to much off in order for it to slide on. It works and fits great now. Some people don’t have to do this. That’s great. Even though I modified mine a little bit. I’m still giving it a 5 Star. There are pictures of the modification only. 490697

I had the lock before had good luck with it so I had to buy again I had someone try and hacksaw the last one off and they did not any luck in doing so just wish they where made in the good old USA1295653

The Gorilla tongue lock is easy to use and hard to defeat. For me its the best available.1028931

These Gorilla locks never quit. They are constantly exposed to the weather with no ill effect and on and off the trailer and they just keep working. Great value!

No matter how carefully we evaluated ahead of time, it doesn’t fit. There is more to the fit than trailer ball size. Very disappointing.1206798

This coupler lock is for 2 and 5 sixteenth inch couplers but there are some additional measurements you will need to take when finding the correct lock. Measure the inside width including the lip. This lock cannot exceed 4 and 1 eighth of an inch for the inside measurement and also a height that is no greater than 5 sixteenth of an inch. I recommend watching this attached video to get a visual of the measurements I am talking about. If you need help finding a coupler lock, please take those measurements and I will help you find one.

Tow Ready Trailer Coupler Locks - Surround Lock - 63227 Review - Video

Super nice lock I'm very happy with it. Make sure you read thoroughly and measure closely because I see a lot of people complaining about it not fitting or working on there tongue. It fit very tight on mine which is what I wanted so there is zero play. You can't even move it at all which is what I wanted. It looks nice and the locking mechanism seems to be great. Definitely recommend for those trailers it will actually fit on.808341

This is a decent product. Easy to easy (although the key is sometimes hard to get out of the core). Its not high security...but all that I want is to make my trailer appear harder to steal than the ones next to it.1215104

This did not work for my hitch. The lip of the coupler was too wide to allow the locking pin to slide up into the coupler. Unfortunately I dropped the lock and scratched the finish so I couldn't return it. I did purchase a different model that has worked well for me. Also from etrailer.550275

The # 63227 is unfortunately not a universal-fit item. In the product description, we provide the maximum width and height of the flange or lip that runs around the bottom edge of the coupler. If the flange on your coupler is outside of those parameters, the lock wont be a fit. For reference, there are also some customer-provided photos showing a few of the couplers this lock will be compatible with. If youd care to send us a photo of your existing coupler, wed be happy to make a recommendation for a lock that will work.

Reading the previous reviews on this coupler lock I thought it would be a great fit for my trailer, I was wrong. The lock slides over the lip but thats where the fitment ends, the locking pin doesnt clear the inner portion of the coupler so it will not lock. Trying to get it to fit I scuffed the finish on the lock so I cant return this to get one that fits. Site seems to have large selection of locks but with this experience it might be better to find one locally so you dont have to wait for a product only to find out it doesnt fit. There is a chance that the lip could be modified but why not find a lock that works the way the trailer was built.134368

Hello etrailer,

My order for the Trailer Coupler Lock (63227) and CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors (7070-2) was deliver on Sunday May 2nd, 2021.

My enclosed trailer made by American Hauler has a 2 5/16” coupler. Unfortunately, the Trailer Coupler Lock (63227) didn’t fit every well on the coupler and the lock pin wouldn’t move up into the coupler ball socket.

I was going to send this back to you, but after reading some of the feedback from other people who purchase this lock had the same problem as me and how they fix it.

So, I decided to modify my trailer coupler and modify the Trailer Coupler Lock (63227). After doing the modification the Coupler Lock fit good.

By doing this, it most likely ended any warranty it may have had.1030073

This Lock does not fit on any of my trailers. All are 2 5/16 couplers or various brands. I tried it on my enclosed trailer (continental enclosed), camper , dump trailer (triple crown) and boat trailer (titan brake coupler) . 539068

This coupler lock is intended to 2-5/16 inches coupler if the width of the lip of the coupler is less than 4-1/8 inches. Additionally the height of the lip cannot be exceed 5/16 of an inch. My recommendation is to check out the Master Lock part # ML389DAT

$27.43.

works great 1291995

Bought this to replaced a damaged one from another manufacturer. Smart design with the keyhole on the underside - not exposed to the elements. Fit perfectly. Feels very secure. Will likely buy additional one for our other trailer. 384791

This is a good and easy lock to use. The only reason why I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 star is it is actually fairly easy to break into. I have several of these for several different trailers and had lost the keys to one. I had to use the trailer and all I had to do was use a pry bar and the whole unit broke right in half. Other then that though the functionality is great. I have since switched to a more secure lock for some of my more valuable trailers.696881

The lock didn't fit my trailer. There is a third measurement that is not listed that I didn't take into account. That is the distance on the outside of the ball housing. My hitch was too wide to allow the lock to completely slide on which in turn blocked the locking pin.

Received the coupler lock in good condition and it worked perfectly.
Another job well done by etrailer

Good product. One little problem is that the key wouldn't turn to unlock. Had to use WD40 to loosen the locking pins and break it in. This is my second lock and will buy again if lost or damaged.421313

I am very happy with my purchase. Shipping on my items was very fast & packaged well. This hitch isn't the only item I purchased. I like all the items I received from you. Everything I purchased was made of very good qaulity material. And competative prices.
I would recommend buying from you to others !

I purchased them but did not use them right away. I should have. One of the locks the keys did not open it and another one you have to wiggle and jiggle the key for several seconds to try to get it to open the lock. I have thrown away both locks since it has been so long and I knew I would never get replacements or my money back. I have many other from this company and they work great. They are several years old and still working just fine.477310
