Lost the key for my Gorilla locks. Anyone have a good way to get them off? I've tried pounding a socket over them, but I can't get it to go on.

Try a different size socket and make sure it is a 12 point socket and not a 6 point as you'll never get a 6 point on.

If you REALLY need them off you can take your car to a Big O or something and they'll take them off for cheap I would imagine.

Saleenx3, I'm in Rocklin. Got one of them off this morning and sending it to them for a new key. Les Schwab wanted $10 each to use an air chisel on them. New key is $8.50.
