Very affordable deterrent that adds that little bit more security.



by:

Great locks!! I feel a lot better leaving all three of my trailers at home with these locks on my trailers! Definitely recommend!



by:

It's a great product. It looks good on the trailer, and you can see it from very afar. And there is no way to saw it off, break it apart, or something like that. The construction is basically rounded, and there is nowhere you can find a starting point to place a saw or breakaway device on it. I have also bought different lock from Reese, and it looks wimpy, and easy to take it apart, or saw it off as some reviews have suggested. It's also easy to put it on and take it off. Just love the product. Here I attach some pictures in the campgrounds, etc.



by:

I have multiple trailers with different ball hitch sizes and Master Lock fits all of them well.



by:

Doesn't fit securely. It seems like there are several ways to lock a trailer. Can't see how this one ever works well

I hate to hear that you are not happy with the coupler lock. Would you be able to send a picture or describe in more detail how it is not fitting for you.



by:

The items arrived and were in perfect condition. But the most impressive thing about eTrailer is the great service and expertise that they provide. The items I purchased could have been purchased locally, but I prefer to purchase all the items for my trailer and related objects from eTrailer due to their superior service and advice.



by:

Recently bought a boat and the trailer did not have any way to lock the tongue that I could see. After seeing that my stepson had a trailer with this style lock on it and seeing that it would be virtually impossible to pry it off I did some research. I have purchased from etrailer in the past and trust them to only sell the best. I ordered it and received it in a timely manner. It fits perfectly and I now feel my trailer and boat are secure. Who would doubt the Master Lock brand anyway!?!

Still working great, no complaints here.



by:

It went on and off easy. Seems well built time will tell.
etrailer was great to work with and it got faster than expected.



by:

Fit my boat trailer perfectly



by:

Glad to see they went back to the original design. I have a chrome colored one I bought 13 years ago that is this style, still working. About 10 years ago I bought a 2nd one for my other trailer, and it was nothing like this one - cheap plastic everywhere, could easily be defeated. Backed into it once, and all the plastic broke off revealing just how flimsy it was. Was pleasantly surprised to see Master Lock went back to this much better design. I expect to get over 10 years out of this one.

Working great! No issues whatsoever. I keep the moving parts, including the key tumbler well lubed with white lithium grease, so this one is going to last.



by:

This is my second order from etrailers.com and the experience was rough due to the postal service on my first order but the staff was amazing at helping me work to find the shipment and even called my local post office. I was sold on this company and now my church uses them for all our trailer needs. They are extremely good at communications and updated me every step of the way including who worked with my package and even contacting me to ask if I wanted an alternative part that would have been here sooner. I love working with this company!

Doesn't fit on a 2 5/16 equipment trailer. Made for small, lawn-mower trailers.

I am sorry this coupler lock did not work for you. I think the hump on top of your coupler is the culprit. I think item # C48CR would fit better.



by:

I feel much better about parking my trailer on the street with this lock on the hitch. Not only does it lock up the hitch securely but the bright red color signals to prospective thieves that this trailer cannot be towed.
It is easy to attach and easy to remove. Also very compact so it can be stored easily. The shipping time was less than I expected. etrailer.com is my goto supplier for my trailer accessories.



by:

It’s not exactly like we want. But for a lip roll tongue it fits. Wish they made the others for lip roll tongues instead of flat tongue…



by:

I received the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock that I ordered. It was delivered in just a few days just a it was supposed to. It is exactly what I was looking for. It will help detour anyone from stealing my trailer ! I am extremely happy with the lock and etrailer ! I think this is a great company with great pricing on there products ! I will recommend them to everybody and will be ordering with them again real soon ! It was an easy and excellent experience. Great customer service too ! Thanks etrailer !



by:

Universals lock, great for many applica tions



by:

Good strong product. Simple to use.



by:

Got this coupler lock for my boat trailer, easy to put on and take off.
So far it is working as expected, as do all the products I have purchased so far from etrailer.



by:

Must be working... my trailer hasnt been stolen. I use every time in storage and at campgrounds. Easy to use.. Adjusts to fit snugly to coupler.. Doesnt bind up when installing or removing.. design much easier to use than some others.



by:

Great easy to use



by:

This is a terrific design since unlike padlocks, can't easily be cut with bolt cutters. I like the bright red color which tells a thief there is a lock to deal with from a distance. I think someone who wants your trailer can probably defeat any system you use, so the goal is to make it tough as possible and I think this lock does that.



by:

Works well I like the fact that it`s easy to connect, fits 1-7/8" ball up to 2-5/16" and protects my trailer peace of mind



by:

Went right on my hitch, Thank You



by:

Nice tool, I like that it will adjust easily for different depths so it will fit more than one size trailer tongue. It pulls in snug and with a couple firm smacks with a 2 pound hammer is still works just fine.



by:

Part looks great right out of the package... I have a 2 5/16" Ball coupler and the lock works perfectly on it... I'm thinking the lock is not coming off of the trailer without the key... Couldn't be happier with the lock...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System With Sway Control For 29 Foot Travel Trailer
    It sounds like you've done some research and I like the conclusion. The Reese Strait-Line system is the very best in my opinion for controlling sway by actively fighting against it with spring trunnion bars that are hot rolled and the dual cam system. For your total tongue weight, you will also want to account for any cargo weight in the back of your towing vehicle behind the rear axle in addition to your loaded trailer tongue weight. With this considered, you want a system that has...

  • Recommended Locks for 2-5/16-Inch Squeeze-Latch Type Trailer Coupler
    To secure your squeeze-latch type coupler such as # CTA-280 you can use a latch pin lock such as # 2847DAT with a coupler lock such as # FA86-0015-312 or the Master Lock # ML389DAT.

  • Coupler Lock for Titan Brake Actuator With 2-5/16 Hitch Ball
    There is a coupler lock for your Titan Brake Actuator # T2477600 with a 2-5/16" ball. The Master Lock # ML389DAT uses a 1-piece housing to fit securely around the coupler, has a powder coat to resist corrosion and comes with a pair of keys. I've added a photo showing how it looks on a Titan coupler and also linked a couple video reviews for you to take a look at.

    I do have an option for you but we no longer carry the Coupler Repair Kit for Atwood 2-5/16" Yoke Style part 15774. Instead, I recommend replacing the entire coupler for which you can use the A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # CA-5400-B. Atwood was bought out by Lippert and their parts are becoming increasingly harder to find which is why I recommend a replacement coupler. This coupler fits most standard a-frame trailers and will accept a 2-5/16" hitch ball. It also has a black powder coat...

These are my two favorite trailer coupler locks and they will both work well with your brake actuator. The Master Lock is our most popular option but the Fastway is a bit beefier so this is actually what I recommend for you. The Fastway also has a cover for the lock...

  • Coupler Lock Recommendations for etrailer Adjustable Channel Mount Coupler # CTA-280
    You have some options to use a lock on coupler # CTA-280. First, you could use a latch lock, # e98883. Its diameter is slightly less (1/4 inches) than the pin hole diameter for the latch (5/16 inches). Another option is # ML389DAT which works with many styles of couplers and would be a great option for your coupler. I have linked videos of both locks for you.

  • Trailer Coupler Lock Compatibility with Multi-Fit Ball Coupler to Secure Trailer

I recommend setting the multifit coupler for the largest hitch ball setting prior to adding the lock so it will not be removable when loosening the ball connection.

  • Can Breakaway Pin be Pulled to Help Prevent Trailer From Being Stolen
    At first glance that is a great idea but if you want to keep a trailer from being stolen your best defense is installing a lock or multiple locks so that potential thieves see that your rig is more challenging than the next. You mentioned Blue Ox but the only thing they have with a breakaway kit is the Patriot # BLU37TR which installs in a towed vehicle that can be locked so I believe you are referring to a kit like the Hopkins # HM20001 which installs on a trailer. Either way, the stored...

  • Can Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock be Pried Off
    Realistically, the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML389DAT won't be pried off; even if there's enough room to fit a crowbar, getting it fully wedged in so that enough leverage can be applied to the lock to break it off just isn't going to happen. Theoretically, any lock can be busted with enough force but the odds of your trailer getting stolen with this lock on it are extraordinarily slim compared to not having the Master Lock on.

You can replace it with the same unit, the A-Frame Coupler # CA5400 which has has an oily finish but the same one is available without the oily finish and a black coat of paint, the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5400-B.

  • Construction of Master Lock # ML389DAT Trailer Coupler Lock
    The Master Lock # ML389DAT is constructed of steel, as opposed to pot metal. Pot metal is an alloy made of non-ferrous metals with low melting points like zinc, lead, copper, tin and aluminum. The lock wouldn't shatter or crack if struck by a hammer, unless extraordinary means like liquid nitrogen were used on the lock first. Although just about any lock can be defeated by a determined criminal if they are motivated enough and have enough time, the rugged construction of the # ML389DAT...

Let the spray sit in the lock for a few minutes and then try operating it again. If this still doesn't fix the problem then you may need to have a locksmith take a look at it.

For a 2-1/2 inch receiver, I recommend the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # e98881.

The coupler lip appears too tall to work with lock # ML389DAT.
