Too Afraid to Ask

A locker is a special part that makes sure both wheels on the same axle get power, so you don’t lose traction when turning or driving on rough ground.

Technical Definition

A locker refers to a limited‑slip differential that helps distribute power evenly between wheels, improving traction in off‑road or high‑performance situations.
