Gorilla Automotive Wheel Lock

Gorilla Automotive Wheel Locks: The Standard in Wheel Security

When it comes to protecting your wheels from theft, few names carry as much weight as Gorilla Automotive. Founded in 1976, Gorilla has spent nearly five decades perfecting the art of wheel security, and their wheel locks remain one of the most recognized and trusted solutions on the market. Whether you're safeguarding factory aluminum wheels on a daily driver or aftermarket rims on a weekend build, Gorilla's wheel lock lineup is engineered to deter even the most determined thieves.

What Makes Gorilla Wheel Locks Different?

The core of Gorilla's wheel lock philosophy is a proprietary external Security Pattern — a unique key-interface design that makes it virtually impossible to remove the lock without the matching key. This isn't just a marketing claim; it's an engineering principle that has set the industry benchmark since the brand's earliest days. The locks are constructed from case-hardened steel for exceptional strength, then finished with triple chrome plating for corrosion resistance and lasting aesthetics.

Each set also comes with a key code label, giving owners a reliable way to order replacement keys if one is ever lost or misplaced — a practical detail that separates Gorilla from competitors who leave you stranded when a key goes missing.

Gorilla Wheel Lock Product Lines

Gorilla offers several distinct wheel lock series to match a wide range of vehicles and fitment needs:

• Original Gorilla Lock System – The classic line that started it all, available in acorn bulge, duplex acorn, and factory-style bulge seat designs. Offered in both chrome and black finishes with dual-hex configurations for easy installation and removal.
• Gorilla Guard Locks – An elevated security tier featuring Gorilla's signature Guard design, available in cone seat and acorn profiles in chrome and black chrome finishes.
• X2 Lock Sets – A dual-hex design offering added versatility during installation, covering a broad range of common thread sizes.
• Car Dealer Gorilla Lock Sets – Specifically engineered for Honda ball seat and factory-style bulge applications, making them a go-to for OEM wheel compatibility.

Thread sizes span the most common automotive specs — including 12mm x 1.25, 12mm x 1.50, 14mm x 1.50, and 9/16"-18 — ensuring fitment across a wide variety of domestic and import vehicles.

Reliability You Can Count On

Every Gorilla wheel lock set is backed by a 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, reinforcing the brand's commitment to standing behind its products. Pair that with construction from quality steel and nickel alloys, and it's clear why Gorilla has remained a top choice among car enthusiasts, dealers, and everyday drivers for generations.
