Gorilla Wheel Locks

[kevinbakon]

I recently misplaced my Gorilla Wheel Lock Key and unfortunately I never got around to ordering a replacement key.

A buddy of mine has the tools to remove the lugs, and I plan to replace the set.

Does anyone know exactly which part number and/or lug specs I need for my 2008 ST?

Second, while browsing their site, I noticed Gorilla carries the original Gorilla Locks, Gorilla Guard Locks & Gorilla Guard II Locks . . . . Any recommendations on which product I should choose.

Thanks in advance,

kevin

I just ordered the gorilla guard locks for my rims. They are 1/2" acorns.

I believe I also need the acorns, but I believe they need to be 1/2-20 thread size and 3/4 Hex size???

Yeah, thats the only size in 1/2" I believe 1/2"-20. You know, I dont actually know what the hex head size is on the ST ( I think its 3/4") but it doesnt matter cause your ordering locks that dont even have a hex head on them.

When I lost my (McGaurd) key, I contacted thier tech support; they had me take a close up pic of the lock and email it to them. They sent out a key that day... it's worth a shot.

Stick with gorrila. They are the best. If you have the silver sticker. It has the key#. For $7.50 they will have you a new key in less than a week. Been there done that.

When I bought my Gorillas, I also bought a set of McGards so I'd have two completely different styles of wheel locks on each wheel.

Any professional thief could remove both sets, but I decided to double up just in case.



I searched through all of my documents/manuals and I found literally everything except for the paper with the silver sticker. I found the original packaging, the extra-key-mailer, and the original reciepts for both the Gorilla and McGard. I even found the serial number for the McGards. Out of everything I found, the only thing I couldn't find is the only thing I need.

As far as Irish blood goes, I am about the most unlucky.

:angry:



Since my original key is nowhere to be found, I don't want to take a chance with it floating around out there somewhere (like somewhere in my neighborhood).

I don't mind buying a new set of Gorillas, I just am not sure exactly which one to go with.



Any advice is greatly appreciated!
