Gorilla Automotive Wheel Lock Set

Gorilla Automotive Wheel Lock Sets: Industry-Leading Wheel Security

When it comes to protecting your wheels from theft, few names carry more weight than Gorilla Automotive. Since 1976, Gorilla has been at the forefront of wheel security innovation, and their Wheel Lock Sets remain one of the most trusted deterrents in the industry. Whether you've invested in a set of factory aluminum wheels or a prized aftermarket setup, a Gorilla wheel lock set is engineered to make a would-be thief think twice before touching your ride.

What Sets Gorilla Wheel Lock Sets Apart

Gorilla wheel locks are not a generic solution — they are purpose-built fasteners that replace one standard lug nut on each wheel with a specially keyed lock nut. The unique key pattern required for removal is what separates Gorilla's designs from ordinary hardware-store lug nuts, and it's what earns them their reputation as some of the most theft-resistant fasteners available.

Gorilla's lineup covers two primary product series for wheel lock sets:

• Original Gorilla Lock Set — The flagship line, available in multiple seat styles including Acorn Bulge, Factory Style Bulge, and Open End configurations. These locks come in both standard single-hex and innovative dual-hex designs (such as 13/16" & 7/8" Dual Hex), with thread sizes spanning common applications from 12mm x 1.25 through 14mm x 2.00 and SAE sizes like 1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18. Chrome and black finishes are both offered to match your wheel's aesthetic.
• Gorilla Guard Lock Set — A security-forward series featuring a 3/4" & 13/16" Dual Hex design. Like the Original series, Gorilla Guard locks are available in acorn bulge seat styles with chrome finishes, and are designed specifically for OEM factory aluminum wheels.

Key Features to Know Before You Buy

Gorilla wheel lock sets combine advanced security features with everyday usability. Each set typically includes four lock nuts and the proprietary key socket needed for installation and removal — so you're always prepared at the tire shop or on the road. The dual-hex key design found on many Gorilla locks adds an extra layer of security, since standard sockets cannot grip the unique pattern.

It's worth noting that Gorilla wheel locks are designed specifically for original equipment factory aluminum wheels, and may not be suitable for all aftermarket or factory steel wheel applications — always verify fitment before purchase. Gorilla also backs their products with a one-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship, reflecting their long-standing commitment to quality.
