There are many types of lockers in the market for jeeps; however, the most common choices can be categorized into automatic and selectable.
Automatic
You may already know — automatic lockers are those that switch on and off by themselves without any interference.
As long as the jeep is powered, the locker stays engaged, but it quickly disengages during a sharp turn. The major advantage it has is that it is less costly and very easy and fast to install. However, they tend to be noisy and offer less control.
Selectable
Unlike automatic lockers that lock and unlock themselves, selectable lockers put you in full control of your vehicle’s locking differential as they allow you to determine how and when they are to engage or disengage. This makes them more comfortable to use. However, you might find them somewhat difficult to install.
