The small end would not reach the holes in my wheel. The large end would not close tight enough. The lock would just hang loose on the wheel. I then put one half of the long end in the wheel hole and the other around the spring, then lock tightened and worked as designed.



by:

I have four expensive trailers, so I purchased two of these in January and two more in February. I had all four keyed alike. Now I only need to carry one key to unlock any of the four wheel locks. That is so convenient! I'm very impressed with the quality and how easy they are to use. They only take seconds to install or remove. (Unless you're a thief, then just "Fuhgeddaboudit")

After a year, Im still extremely impressed. I havent had any problems and all my trailers are safe and sound! I am still giving a rating of five stars ***** !



by:

Really am pleased with this item. Easy to install, the forks sit snug to wheel. I pulled on trailer after installing. I feel a thief will move on to a easier target. Thanks.

Trailer Wheel Lock

DO NOT PURCHASE
this wheel lock. The construction of this product is made from inexpensive steel that can be cut off in matter of minutes using a standard battery operated reciprocating saw. We purchased this product and then our trailer was stolen 3 days later. The culprit DID NOT have to worry about a lock because he simply just cut off the one arm of the unit. We lost a $10,000 trailer in a matter of minutes. Save your money, don't shop on this site for trailer locks. Rather, call an insurance broker, get insurance and then park it in a gated storage lot. I really wish I would have. See images attached.



by:

I'm using this on a utility trailer but can find many more uses for it. Having the ability to use it on so many different wheel/tire sizes in one package is a major plus. Built tough to with stand many years of use. I originally had my hitch locked with a padlock, but still had concerns of theft. With the Magnum wheel lock, those concerns are now gone.



by:

Description of item was detailed and ordering and processing was very easy. Also item was received in a timelyanner.



by:

Just received Lock'em wheel lock and immediately put on boat trailer. I have had theft on my boat several times and was told by cops a lot of trailers are stolen here in Crimellas County Florida while out fishing. Would hate to come back to boat ramp only to find truck sitting with no trailer. Hopefully this will make them move on to the next one. Already used tongue lock but apparently those can easily be busted off with hammer. Easy to put on, takes seconds. Worth the time.



by:

easy to install. fast shipping. Folks tried to steal my trailer last week with my brand new Cub Cadet lawn tractor locked to the side of the trailer.

Hope this does the trick.



by:

Easy to install, although a bit heavy to store but worth it because of the security it provides.



by:

Just as described; ordered 2 (keyed alike). This makes me feel much more secure about having my trailer stored and not seeing it everyday to verify it’s security.



by:

Product easy to install. Peace of mind. No one tried to leave with my trailer so far



by:

All the information I've read about the RA-25 is true. Very easy operation and the level of security is excellent.



by:

Great fit! Quick and easy to attach. Provides peace of mind while camper is not is use.

We sold our pop-up camper recently, but kept the Rackem Lock! I didnt wantto part with it!



by:

Super easy to use, works great on my tr ailer.



by:

Etrailer always has good reviews, good customer service, and great prices. Time will tell if the RA-25 is effective in preventing theft. It is really easy to attach - once its unlocked, you can remove the key and just clamp the 2 halves around the tire - done! I have a medium size atv trailer with 13" wheels and it fits good - the tips of the arms just touch the rim inside and out - there is no way its coming off. It is nice and flat making it easy to store when not in use. The keys and locking mechanism seem well made and work smoothly. Yes, I got locking lug nuts too, so its not easy to remove the wheel.

I still have my trailer so I guess the locks worked!! Seriouslythough, Im quite happy with both items, especially the rackem wheellock - it is so easy to use. It literally takes 5 seconds to attach orremove. Im very happy I bought it.

Easy on easy off!!!

LOVE IT!!!



by:

This wheel lock is reasonably priced, very well built and easy to install.
I also added a locking lug nut to the same tire that has the wheel lock, to eliminate any chance of a potential thief just removing and replacing the tire. I'm confident that my expensive enclosed cargo trailer is now extremely secure with this wheel lock and locking lug nut combination.

Working Great! All my trailers are safe and sound.



by:

This wheel lock is just what I needed for storing a trailer. It is heavy duty and easy to install or remove when needed. It adjusts to fit the wheel and locks down with the turn of the key. Nothing can totally prevent theft, but a thief will have to work pretty hard to get my trailer with this wheel lock and the other anti-theft equipment that I use. Customer service at etrailer has always been outstanding and the shipping is always fast.

I use this wheel lock on a trailer that I store in Florida. It has been exposed to the sun and salt air for a year and yet it still looks and functions as if brand new. I couldnt be happier with this purchase.



by:

These wheel locks have made me feel better about leaving my trailer parked. The sun has faded the yellow over time and I did have a little trouble unlocking one but that was due to weather and rain. With a little WD-40 and a minute or two it works fine. So that is a tip...keep a little WD-40 or equivalent on hand or lubricate the mechanism and lock from time to time and all should be good.

Bradley D.

Just fine. I keep them in the trailer tool box and use them when away from home. They still give a little extra peace of mind.



by:

Even though the product is a good idea, it doesn't quite fit in either setting. I haven't put it to a test because I don't want to damage my tire, but I think it can be pried off with the slack needed to fit on. Suggest some finer adjustment settings to allow it to snug up tightly. I doubled up and have the tongue lock too, and my trailer still sits where it was parked a year ago on my secluded lot, but then again, nothing else was stolen either, so better safe than sorry is the only thing to say about that.

If a thief is determined enough, just about any lock can be defeated. The idea is to provide deterrence, so hopefully the thief moves on to an easier target. Having a lock on the coupler as you do also adds another layer of deterrence.



by:

Oh goodness, what a great design in the trailer wheel lock! We have a warmblood three horse trailer - bigger wheels - and this is just perfect. Keeping our investment safe!

Shipping was quick and easy too.

Thank you!

Locks are meant to deter and not completely stop a thief and this wheel lock seems to be one of the best out there. It is simple to use and it shows exactly which side to use. Between this lock and others I'm sure a would be thief will be on to another trailer.

Robert B.

12/9/2017

Considering they are locks and my trailerboat have not been stolen I would say they are holding up fine. No issues with them so after a year they are still doing well. Thank you for asking.



by:

I have 6 of these, which I use on commercial equipment trailers & a small tractor.
They are alright...on several different types of wheels, they do not stay secure within the spokes, which means that they do not catch against the fender or stop the wheel from rolling...the wheel can roll with this lock in place, simply dragging the lock along the ground.
We had an 4WD atv stolen with this lock installed.
Thief Hot-wired it, put it in 4WD & drove off. Tire went flat, but because the wheel can spin with the lock in place, he just kept driving. We followed the drag mark about 3/4 of a mile to a paved road, where (presumably) the atv was loaded on a truck.
Atv was later recovered in a drug raid...original wheel was still on it, with a new tire installed.



by:

Recently had utility trailer stolen and searched the web for security products that would prevent this next time. This product seemed the best security for the price. I'm very happy with it and would purchase it again.

  • Replacement Wheel Lock Recommendation for Fulton Trailer Keeper Wheel Lock
    The Fulton Trailer Keeper Wheel Lock for Wheels up to 15" FTK1000100 was discontinued a number of years ago and while I do have a way for you to continue to have a lock on your trailer wheel, there aren't any replacement parts left for this Fulton lock so we need to look at a new lock system. I recommend checking out the Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 which has 2 different jaw sizes so it's compatible with 12" - 20" wheels and it comes with a lock that uses a barrel-style key...

  • Wheel Lock Recommendation for a Dually Trailer Wheel Setup
    The Rack'em Manufacturing Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 that you referenced could possibly work on a dually trailer wheel setup, but depending on how much clearance you have between your tires it could be tight. For a better fitting option I would go with the Wheel Club part # WI490.

  • Will The Rackem Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 Prevent Wheel From Turning
    It would be very hard for someone to move the trailer with the Rack'em Magnum Wheel Lock, part # RA-25, attached to your wheel. When the unit is locked the prongs will not move, but the prongs are designed to go through the wheel hole. The tire would have to drive over the lock unit each time the wheel rotated for the wheel to turn. With opportunity and time a determined thief will normally get the item they are after. Using the wheel lock will help deter theft and make your trailer harder...

    Yes, the Rack'em Manufacturing Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 can fit a wide range of wheel/tire sizes and would work well on your 14 inch rim that has a tire with an overall diameter of 30 inches.

  • Wheel Locks For Trailer With 10" Wheels

  • Will Rackem Wheel Lock Fit on a a 37 x 12.5 Inch Tire
    I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Rack'em wheel lock # RA-25 to measure it. You will be able to use it on a tire that is 12-1/2 inches wide provided the tire is on 15 to 20 inch wheels. The size in question would be the wheel diameter.

  • Way to Lock Trailer with Multi-Fit Hand Wheel Coupler
    I have a great solution to lock your trailer but the multi-fit couplers, and especially the one you have, are hard to fit coupler locks on. Your best option would then be the Rack'Em Wheel Lock part # RA-25 which will lock the trailer and bypass the difficult to lock coupler that you have.

  • How to Prevent Theft of Trailer Wheels on a 2007 T@B Clamshell Travel Trailer
    The lug studs on your 2007 T@B Clamshell Travel Trailer should be 1/2" diameter and if this is the case then part # RG01-150 would work well for you. If they are not 1/2" diameter then we would not have a locking lug nut for you and your only option to prevent left of your wheels would be with a wheel lock like part # RA-25. I have attached a review/install video of both the lug nut and wheel lock for you as well.

  • Wheel Lock to Use with Trailer Valet STC-V211 Trailer Jack
    The # STC-V211 would be similar to a standard trailer jack with a wheel caster and it does not have a lock specifically for it, but you could use a wheel lock on one of the trailer wheels like with # RA-25 and you'd prevent the trailer from moving similar to if the wheel of the jack was locked.

  • Could Rack em Wheel Lock RA-25 Work on Side by Side Tire Size 25x8.00-12
    You'd only need to install one wheel lock on a trailer. If you really wanted to install more there's no reason you couldn't but typically only one is ever used. The part # RA-25 will work for you but it'll fit better on the smaller tire size.

  • Would Pulling Pin of Trailer Breakaway Kit Work as Anti-Theft Device
    If you pulled the pin of your breakaway kit the brakes would be held for as long as the battery of the trailer could provide the amperage to activate the brakes. It wouldn't be long enough at all to be an effective anti-theft device so that wouldn't be a great route for an anti theft solution. Instead I'd recommend a wheel lock like the Rack Em Magnum Wheel Lock part # RA-25 to keep the trailer from being moved.

  • Trailer Lock Recommendation for a Trailer with a Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler
    I have a great theft-deterrent for your trailer that has the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler part # BD0289340317 installed on it, but the Blaylock coupler lock part # BLTL-50-40D that you referenced would not be it. Instead you would need to go with a wheel lock like the part # RA-25 that works regardless of the coupler style of the trailer.

  • Using Rack Em Wheel Lock on Trailer that is Parked on Incline
    I recommend using the Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 with a wheel chock since you said you will be parking on an incline. Check out the Buyers Products # 337WC1467A. The lock will act as a theft deterrent and the chock will prevent the trailer from rolling away. The # RA-25 wasn't designed to stop the movement of a heavy trailer on a hill.

  • What are the Dimensions of the Rackem Lockem Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25
    I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Rackem wheel lock # RA-25 to measure it for you. The overall length is 20-3/8 inches. The overall width is 11-1/16 inches, and the height is just under 3-3/4 inches. You can separate the 2 halves of this wheel lock. The overall length will still be 20-3/8 inches. The width of each half will be 8-1/2 inches.

  • Will Rack'em Manufacturing Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 Work on Trailer with Brakes
    I spoke with my contact at Rack'em and for the best protection you will want to clamp the Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock, # RA-25, together as close as possible. Since your trailer has a limited amount of clearance between the brakes and your rims you will just want to position the one side of the clamp through the rim and on the other side slide the clamp as close as possible to the rim/brake. Installing it in this way will still give you a good amount of theft protection.

  • Do All Rack'em Magnum Wheel Locks Use the Same Key
    The Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 referenced in your question can indeed be ordered keyed-alike when selecting this option using the drop-down menu on the product page, however the Rack'em Wheel Locks do not all use the same key (there are MANY possible key numbers).

If you were to select "Keyed Unique" on the product page we wouldn't do this...

  • Can a Magnum Wheel Lock be Keyed Alike?
    Yes, you can purchase multiple Magnum Wheel Locks, # RA-25, with the same key number. It is easiest to purchase them at the same time and select the "Keyed Alike" option, which will ensure that they are the same number.

  • Recommended Steel Wheel Locks
    Yes, in general and assuming the same thickness it is easier to cut aluminum when compared to steel. For a steel wheel lock that fits the same size wheels as the aluminum # BLEZ-302 I recommend the Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25. This is a double sided lock that fits 12" - 15" wheels or 15" - 20" wheels. It also features rubber coated arms to keep from scratching your wheels up.

  • Is the Lock Mechanism on the Lock-em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 Replaceable or Permanent
    The Rack-em Manufacturing Lock-em Magnum Wheel Lock, part # RA-25, uses a replaceable tubular lock mechanism. We offer the replacement lock assembly as part # RA25LOCK, which comes with two tubular keys. The replacement procedure is simple enough: two spring-loaded dowels (one on each side) are pressed inward to unlock the internal housing which then slides out to reveal the access point for removing the original lock. This internal assembly fits snugly so a screwdriver will help to loosen...

  • Theft Prevention Recommendations for a 5th Wheel Trailer
    You could remove your breakaway switch pin while your trailer is in storage, however, a determined thief will get what they want in the end. If he went through the trouble to break in and attempt steal your trailer, it would not be a problem for him to simply cut the wires from the breakaway switch. Cutting the wires from the breakaway switch would be fast and easy. Another factor to consider is that the battery will only last for a short time and it will drain completely. Leaving the...

    JF, the Trimax Heavy Duty Adjustable Wheel Lock with Padlock # TMX42ZR is not going to work with 19" wheels, unfortunately. Instead, you're going to want to use the Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 which will work with up to 20" diameter wheels.

  • Will Rackem Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 Still Work If a Thief Deflates the Trailer Tire
    My technical contact at Rackem earnestly believes even if a thief deflated the tires on the trailer that the Rackem Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 would not be defeated. This lock clamps onto the actual wheel of the trailer and does so extremely snug. With that being said, even if the tire was deflated, the ability for the lock to move while locked on the wheel does not change meaning it will still not move. The trailer would be able to move a bit forward however the lock would either hit...

  • Recommended Way to Lock a Fifth Wheel Trailer with a Ranch Hitch Fifth Wheel Adapter
    What I would recommend for your fifth wheel is actually a wheel lock since the Ranch Hitch part # AM3100 doesn't have a great way to lock it. The most popular option we have is the Rack'em part # RA-25 which would attach to the wheel of your trailer regardless of what coupler you have on your trailer. It has two sizes to fit basically any trailer wheel size. One side works on 12"-15" wheels, the other 15"-20" wheels. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.
