It locked up in the tumblers and broke the key off in it while I was trying to get it unlocked...had to take a cutting wheel and cut the end off of it so I could use my trailer that day...I also do spray wd40 in all my trailer locks..maybe I got one that way made on a Monday or a friday...



by:

Prompt service, easy and reliable tracking, and very fair pricing. All this combined with a huge selection makes it a very pleasant shopping experience



by:

It fit perfectly on my boat trailer act uator.



by:

Perfect for the Demco EzLatch on my utility trailer. Very easy to use and provides the security for my trailer that I sought.

Works very well, and as intended. Adds a sense of real security & safety.



by:

I was sent a follow up email asking how I liked the lock, and I have to say that I liked it enough to buy it a second time after I LOST THE KEYS!!! Because losing keys in my job!!! But yes it is a great lock for my trailer, because it has an odd coupler that a pin goes completely through it and you can’t use a standard padlock or coupler lock. The coupler locks sold at local stores were not long enough to go through the coupler, so I has to search the internet and I found this at trailer.com and it works! I would definitely recommend this lock if you have this style of coupler.



by:

Great Product! We ordered 6 of these for our fleet of trailers. Very convenient with all the same key. Also purchased the matching coupler locks.
We are very happy with both the products AND customer service at etrailer. They are our first and only call for trailer supplies.



by:

Easy to use and fits my shorelander tra iler.



by:

Great locks working well. Like the idea that they are keyed alike!



by:

Good value since the coupler lock works exactly as intended. Best part - even tho outside year around in Seattle weather, no corrosion since chrome plating more than adequate. Works on both electric and surge brake couplers with thru-body locks requiring extra length (span).



by:

Does the job but not sure it could hold up to a hammer.



by:

Works very well !



by:

These seem to be made well. Yet to be seen how they hold up over time. Having several trailers, the keyed alike feature was important to me and I was able to order the lengths I needed for the various coupler types. I saw some reviews indicating that the operation of these was slow or tedious. I found that insert the key, hold the key and spin the black end was simple and quick.

These are working well about a year later. Happy with them



by:

Takes to long to un screw and come apart. Only used it a couple of times.



by:

I ordered this lock and an etrailer branded coupler lock as etrailer’s website says it can be keyed alike to any other etrailer branded lock. I required them to be keyed alike. I received two locks that were keyed differently. There were extra lock cores in the box like someone was going to change them out, but shipped them without doing so. I followed up with customer service to inquire as to why and was told that these locks can only be keyed alike to the same type of lock, not other locks. I was then told they would send the correct replacement lock. Then was told that was not possible. I requested to return my order for a refund as the website was very unclear as to what locks could be keyed alike. I received a refund for less than the cost of one of the locks. Worst experience with etrailer ever. I won’t be buying from them again.

Fast delivery!

PURCHASED A TRAILER LOCK, IT FIT PERFECTLY. VERY HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE

everything is still working great after a year of use.



by:

Does what it is supposed to. Not sure how easy it would be to snip or cut through, but I use it as a component of my security on a lightweight teardrop



by:

I received the coupler lock. My coworker joked "That will only stop a honest man" You could cur this off with a hack saw in thirty seconds.



by:

As described, perfect fit and looks good. Quick ship as well. Thank you etrailer.com!!



by:

Thank You etrailer! Coupler lock would not work Called and explained that the lock would not open? I received on three days later and has worked fine since. Great service!!! My number 1 go too!!!



by:

I drive in all sorts of weather, still looks and works like it did when it was new after 1 year.



by:

Great product! I bought this coupler lock to replace others that kept bending while pulling my boat. After a year and fishing about once a week, pulling over mountains, and having to hit the brakes hard a couple of times, this coupler has held up superbly! etrailer is my go to place for all trailer products, great selection of products, super description of their products, often with video link, fantastic service and very competitive prices!

Super! Works as good today as the day I receivedit!



by:

I have broken 2 locking coupler locking pins due to tongue moving forward with surge brakes. This product is not an ideal solution as you need to spin on and off with the key to lock and unlock the pin. Turning a key 10-15 times to screw in and out is a pain. This will be a back up at best to some other solution I am still seeking.

You may like this product better as it is just one turn of a barrel key which makes it a little easier: Item # MT76FR.



by:

This steel lock mechanism will only keep an honest person away. I hit the lock with a hammer and it cracked off, rendering it useless. The key loxk has to be spun on, so if you keep the rubber protector in place its a pain to screw on with the key inserted. Get a reL trailer lock that goes in the ball mechanism. Do not wastevyoyr money on this styleock it is useless against and criminal intetent.

Any lock can be tampered with until it fails. Item # BLTL-50-40D would be a good option for you.

  • Coupler Lock for Square Coupler on 2024 AmeraTrail Trailer
    Based on your description it sounds like you have the Dexter Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Coupler # T4845000. However, I have no way to be sure without additional information. If you have a pin running through it then you could use the # e98888 which has a 3-3/8" span and 1/4" diameter. You could also use a lock like the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-317. This is a surround style lock that fits 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" ball couplers with a max width of 4-1/2".

  • Recommended Hitch and Coupler Lock Set for Wide Hitch Receiver on Toyota Tacoma
    The hitch lock included with the Master Lock Hitch Receiver and Coupler Latch Lock Set # 2848DAT that you referenced does feature a 2-3/4 inch inside pin length/span. This is likely a bit small to work well with the receiver on your Tacoma that has an outside width of just over 3 inches. I do have a better solution for you, however there isn't a coupler and hitch lock set available that includes a hitch pin with a longer usable span. I recommend taking a look at etrailer.com Hitch Receiver...

  • Locks and Channel Recommendation for Demco Trailer Coupler # DM15791-52
    The Demco Trailer Coupler # DM15791-52 does not come with the locking pins or the mounting pins. The mounting pins will need to be supplied by you. Grade 5 mounting bolts must be used to achieve the 21,000-lb weight capacity and we do not carry them. For the body of the coupler the lock you'd need is # e98888 and for the pin you'd want # e98883. If you select keyed alike on the drop down menu you'll be able to order them both with the same key number. For a channel to use with this you'd...

  • Coupler Lock for Bulldog Collar Lok Coupler to Lock the Coupler to a Trailer
    For your Bulldog coupler you would have to use the Trailer Coupler Lock, part # 28012. This is a coupler lock with an inside width of 3-3/8 inches. I pulled the Bulldog coupler from our warehouse and measured the size of the lock pin that goes in the coupler. It measured 5/16 inch diameter and a length of 2-3/4 inches. I tried the lock in the coupler and it fit and did keep the collar lock from opening. See the picture to the right that will show it installed on a similar coupler.

For a coupler lock I recommend our part # e98888. This lock has a 1/4 inch pin diameter and has a span of 3-3/8 inches. Both of these locks have the covered key slot to help prevent corrosion and be keyed alike so you only have one key as long as you order them together. We do not have a hitch pin lock for...

  • What Size Lock Pin Is Needed for the Coupler on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Part # Y08107
    It sounds like you are referring to a coupler latch lock that is used to lock the latching mechanism of the coupler onto the hitch ball. If this is the case then you would want to use a 1/4" diameter pin like part # e98886. I have attached a photo of where this pin will need to be installed on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08107 for you as well.

  • Coupler Lock for a UFP A-60 Boat Trailer Actuating Coupler
    From what I was able to find in the research I did, the recommended lock for a UFP A-60 coupler is a simple pin design, # e98888. This should prevent the handle from operating while the lock is in place (basically used in place of the pin. The difference is that this pin includes a lock). In my research I found that locks like # BLTL-33 are not considered a fit.

    Hi. You would not have needed to make a hole in the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler # BD028463 to lock it, you would only need to use Trailer Coupler Lock # e98888. This lock would go through the latch where the pin is to secure your coupler.

  • A-Frame Trailer Coupler for a 2-5/16 Inch Ball that Can be Locked
    Coupler repair kits are not always universal. In fact it is less likely that one designed for a certain coupler will fit a different coupler. Without knowing the brand and model coupler you have I cannot guarantee that any of the repair kits will work. I recommend replacing the coupler with a new one such as # DM16680-52. It is a bolt-on A-frame coupler that takes a 2-5/16 inch ball. You can look it with a latch lock, # e98888.

  • Keyed Alike Coupler Lock Recommendation with 1/4 Diameter and at least 3-3/8 Span

The etrailer lock can be keyed alike no matter how many you choose to purchase. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Can Reese Trailer Hitch Locks Be Ordered With Specific Key

You would just need to select the "Keyed Alike" option on the product page.

  • Coupler Lock Recommendation for a Demco Coupler
    I really wish we had a coupler lock in the dimensions you listed, but the closest thing we offer is the part # e98888 that you referenced that has a 1/4 inch diameter pin that is 3-3/8 inches long. The difference would only be 1/16 of an inch so this lock should still work for you. There's no reason it wouldn't. Another option you have is a coupler lock like the part # FA86-0015-318. This lock can fit nearly any coupler and should work well for you.

The lock has a covered key slot to keep dirt and helps prevent corrosion.
