does this lock engage metal-to-metal? or is the receiver plastic?

It is metal onto a metal post with high density plastic latch. It is fairly solid but not a high security lock.

It is metal. The whole thing is solid design with smooth bearing motion. I have used it with three different size cameras and it is easy to adjust for each.

While I did not perform the installation myself I believe the housing was plastic and the internal parts were metal. My latch has worked perfectly since the installation a few weeks ago. Steve

Yes, the coupling connecting the upper and lower parts is plastic. So far it seems to be pretty sturdy though.

Its been almost a year since I installed it. If my memory serves me, the latch system is metal. I felt impressed by the strength of design.

Hi, it's metal and the tool works awesome. Very nice build quality. The trigger is plastic, so that is not ideal. Overall, it's the best bang for your buck, I've had cheaper ones and they are junk.

the locking mechanism Is made of metal. So there is no problems with wear over time.

Xiao. The safe itself is metal. The fittings and the electronic lock components are really cheaply made. They have done just enough to make it look reasonable, but the quality is questionable.

I would say it is plastic... Not detecting an metal at all. The grip is so so.....I am having trouble with the battery connection often. You have to really tighten the connection with the hard to mover spin wheel and then eventually it loosen and you have to tighten again. I personally am using it more for the grip that I get with my nikon d7100 and the way the camera feels in my hand than for the back up battery. If one battery runs out or very low.. I just switch the battery locations since I don't trust the connection

Yes, there is a lock for the receiver pin that comes with the unit. It is very high quality. This unit is the nicest trailer hitch I've owned. After six months in a heavy rain environment there is no sign of rust or corrosion. I would definitely buy this again.

It is a molded in plastic catch. I pried mine and it finally gave away. I have two of the units and one is still tight to open, the other, which is the one I pried open still works but is not as tight at the other.

It is made of metal, not plastic. This is a fairly stout lock for its intended purpose. I used the one I bought on my 2007 Ram 1500. Worked great. I would refer this product to anyone.

Metal I believe. So is the foot lever to open it and the lock for the cover.

For this model it is plastic and very secure. I have stainless steel watch band available see my other items for sale.

The ones that allow the legs to swing are metal with a metal push button. The leg extension locks are metal except for the little arm to lock them in place. That part is plastic.

It is plastic, however it looks very similar to metal when it is installed.

This is hard to tell, as I guess it depends on how your lock is made. Mine has a plastic back cover with a metal finish paint, which doesn't seem to alter the signal.
