The message I got was little stuff...poor packaging( stuff not secure properly in box and banginging around) poor photo copy instructions and the warranty issue.  I had no experience w/ either at the time I purchased. Main decision factor was locker price and low shipping $$ from Ohio to PA.

Not that I have heard

I know three people having issues with warranties on their lock rites. there has been posts on ORC that I know of as well about this issue. Don't get me wrong, i like 'em, just letting you know what I know.

About the lock rights, can somebody tell me what are couplers? What's the dif with and without?

The "couplers"replace the stock side gears, the locker listing with out the couplers re-use the stock side gears. If you do re-use the side gears, swap them side to side, they have a less stressed gear face in this configuration and seem to mesh better. I have noticed the lock rites that re-use the sock side gears seem less picky about a sligghtly bent housing and seem to have smoother (for a lunchbox locker) road manners. HTH!

Thks. Just one last doubt: if you can reuse the existing side gears, why would anyone want to get the couplers unless the original side gears are damaged or welded? Durability?

i have had a lockright rear for nearly 2 years now,and it was used when i got it.(real lockright)no problems.my front lockright is a new"richmond" lockright.no problems.

you only need the couplers if your gears are badly worn,ive not seen a badly worn coupler yet!!!



follow the install manual TO THE LETTER.and they go in a treat.no problems.



I LOVE MY LOCKRIGHTS.!!

 I've had both in a sammy over the last couple of years, not a problem with the Detroit, but the Lock-Rite on the other hand....SUCKED!!!! It self destructed in a couple of months, followed the instructions to the letter.
