Topic: tongue lock caution

[Mistaken]

i just have a little advice for those of you with trailers.  if you have a tongue lock made by gorilla guard please get rid of it. my manager beat the tar out of one today because she lost the key and a brass pin holding the tumbler in place sheered off and it came right off the trailer. i tore one apart to see why it would break so easy and the only thing keeping a thief from stealing your rig is that brass pin. it took me 15 seconds and a cordless drill to pop the lock off the trailer. if i can do it so can a real thief. please use a wheel boot to lock your trailer, it took me a half hour to break one of those open today. i hope this advise keeps your rigs safe.

You'd be surprised at how a lot of locks just keep honest people honest, I've had to break a lot of locks for LA City when I worked there. I'm sure there are some tough ones. When I bought my truck the kid couldn't find the wheel lock key, took less than 10 min. to deal with 4 locks and that was with nothing but hand tools.
