Protect your investment with the etrailer wheel locking device. Simply go up to your tire, take these two apart. We're gonna go to where it goes on to our rim right there. And then once we're done, we can take these keys and we just press in this little lock cylinder here and then use the little cap to protect that core from any type of water damage and your trailer is locked up. To take it off, we just take one of the two keys that's in our kit. The tumbler is gonna be pretty pick proof because of our circular key.
So that's gonna give you extra peace of mind that no one's gonna be able to pick it. Once that pops out, we can take it and then we can put it back like this for storage. You can store it with the trailer and the toolbox like we have here, fits in there pretty nicely. It's a pretty small toolbox but you can also keep it with the vehicle. If you have a truck, throw it in the toolbox or just throw it underneath your seat.
This is gonna work with your tires that are anywhere from six and three quarter inches wide in the smallest. And then it's gonna go all the way up to 10 and a half inches wide. So you just wanna measure your tires to make sure that'll work. And another thing to think about is the reach. So from the inside of the crossbar to the tip of the clamp, that's gonna be our reach.
And that is eight and 1/2 inches. The whole goal here is to just go over to our tire and just make sure it's just gonna go past where the tire and the wheel meet. That's gonna be our reach right here with our 205/75 R15 tire. It reaches perfectly. This isn't just for trailers.
If you have wheels on something, you can use it. Maybe a golf cart, a side by side full wheeler or a vehicle, but this just shows you that with the larger tires like we have here, it's not really gonna work. It's not really the width of the tire. It's more of the reach. So the reach, what you wanna do is just measure from where your rim starts to go in to the very outside. We just wanna make sure it falls within those bounds we talked about earlier to make sure it's gonna fit. This is a 265/75 R16 tire. If that helps. My tire on my vehicle barely didn't fit. It's about eight and three quarter inches from the inside out here. So you have to make sure you're under eight and 1/2. This is gonna be great for storage when you can't really keep an eye on your rig throughout the whole entire winter season. So this is going to be nice and bright. So whoever wants to steal your trailer is just gonna look at it and walk away. So this is gonna prevent anybody from hooking up and then rolling with it. Let's just say they could hook up to your trailer. It's gonna be very, very tough to not destroy the trailer by doing this, but this is not a chock, okay You need to use these with wheel chocks. This is just going to lock it into place. The steel construction makes it super, super strong. So it's gonna hold up even if someone tries to go and take your trailer. And we also dip the edges right here. So if you have pretty aluminum wheels like this it scratch a little easy. You don't have to worry about it scratching with our etrailer wheel lock. This may come in handy. The handle's gonna be eight and a quarter inches long. So if you do want to put it in between your tires for whatever reason on your dual axle trailer you might wanna just chock the outsides of these wheels. But if you like to chock on the inside of the wheels it's gonna be just as secure if you just take this and then go on the outside. I think it all just comes down to what you really want and what depth going on on your rig. 'Cause this is gonna be just as secure as doing it in between the two tires. One thing I suggest getting for your setup is a set of these. What is this Well, it's a lug nut lock. So it's gonna prevent your wheel from coming off. If someone really wanted to steal your trailer and they saw this on there, if they we're really smart they would look at your spare tire. Take that off, jack this thing up, take this whole tire off and put the spare on and then they could use your trailer just like normal. So I do recommend locking your wheels to your trailers just to prevent any kind of theft from happening. If you already have chocks for your trailer the etrailer wheel lock is gonna be very nice. But if you need both, Trimax does make one that doubles as a chock. If you wanted to go that route. So that's something maybe I would compare it to but at the same time, they're pretty much the same thing. This one's just gonna prevent it from rolling as well. So that's what we got on our website. I really hope this helps. And that's everything you need to know about the etrailer wheel locking device..

This anti-theft device provides your car, trailer, or ATV with visible, locking security. The adjustable claw clamps easily around your tire and wheel, and locks into place. Soft-coated arms won't scratch your rims. Includes 2 tubular keys.by: Jerry Feist07/06/2017
After someone attempted to steal my business trailer but failed due to the hitch being locked, they attempted to roll it to the street but gave up as a neighbor spooked them. Found the etrailer wheel lock to be affordable, well designed, easy to operate, and effective. Also added a lug nut lock so the tire cannot be removed.
The website and service was good and the product was shipped within a few days.
I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an effective solution for those concerned about vehicle or trailer theft.

They work great we use them on all of the trailers we keek at our warehouse.
by: Kevin 01/12/2024
Have used this product with on issues. It's a great deterrent. The only issue I have is the plastic cap over the lock opening is too tight and hard to put on so just don't bother with it.
by: Chris 08/02/2022
The wheel lock was exactly as etrailer described and fit my travel trailer perfectly. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick.

Working great. Easy to operate, yellow maybe looks a tad garish but thats the point, right?
by: Kevin02/02/2024
This lock was made of lighter materials than I expected. I honestly don't think this is a security lock but more of a hey look. It has a lock. I am not to confident in its abilities.
by: Happy Camper11/26/2023
The wheel lock is a good deterrent against theft or your trailer. The keyed lock is so much easier to work with, (the big selling point for me).

This trailer lock is easy and simple to use. Quick to put on and quick to remove. My trailer hasn’t been stolen yet!
by: Michael 11/14/2023
Satisfied with wheel lock. Feel much safer when my trailer is parked.
by: Gordon05/05/2023
I haven’t been using this device because it is difficult to create a snug fit and hard to lock and unlock. I purchased a good hitch lock that is much easier to use and secures our travel trailer. This device has several “notches” where it locks. If your tire is in between two of those positions, you are forced to loosen it to the next wider setting making it fit the tire and wheel loosely.
by: Thomas 11/29/2023
Works easily and securely.
Real piece of mind when I have to leave the trailer in an unsecured spot.
by: Bob12/13/2019
Very good product! Recommended by our insurance company to receive additional rate discounts. We primarily used a ball hitch lock plus a chain through a tie-down, but this acts as another excellent visual deterrent we won't drive off with! Fast delivery and free shipping, along with quality products keeps me coming back!!!

The lock sticks frequently and the barrel key fell apart
by: Jim c06/17/2021
Little disappointed that it will not fit the older drum brake systems with a backing plate. The baking plate interrupts the function of the claw so it will not insert.
Other then that seems like a good product.
by: Mike 02/16/2024
Exactly what I needed. Have ordered several of these in the past. They work great
by: Eric 03/02/2023
Great deterrent. We had a trailer stolen that used a lock between tandem wheels. Bad choice; easily kicked out. This lock is the one we should have bought. Trailers have been safe since the addition of ball lock and this wheel lock!
by: Ben08/28/2019
Lock was easy to use..took seconds to install on the trailer wheels. Tested and the wheels do not budge.. Highly recommended for personal and light commercial use.
by: John05/23/2023
The weld prevents the lock from locking into the closest position. As a result the wheel lock is loose and floppy and it may be possible to pry it off without too much trouble. Otherwise it is just fine. John

My husband's birthday and our anniversary are the same day and trailer always makes it easy to find a gift
by: Thomas10/02/2022
Since you asked.... total POS. I put the wheel lock on my trailer and the next morning I pulled out forgetting it was on there. I felt a soft bump and then another and then it dawned on me that it was on there. The first bump was on grass and the second was on asphalt. It took me less then 3 minutes to pry it apart with a screw driver after the key broke off in the lock. Conclusion- I THINK IT WOULD HAVE TOTALLY DISINTEGRATED ID I DROVE ANOTHER 50 FEET. I'm not mad because it was my own damn fault but I'm really glad it didn't damage my trailer! Strictly for show.

With any lock, it is not going to be 100 percent theft proof. Whenever you are looking to secure a trailer, the best strategy is to use multiple locks together like the wheel lock part # 288-02020 along with a coupler lock like part # TMX67FR which fits all three coupler ball sizes. Using multiple locks together will make it unappealing to a would-be thief.
by: BAS04/19/2023
these wheel locks seem to work well. the metal is thinner than I expected but makes them easier to handle.

- Will Stallion Trailer Wheel Lock 288-02020 Fit a Golf Cart TireGolf carts generally have wide tires much like some ATVs. The Stallion wheel lock # 288-02020 is designed to fit tires that are 6-3/4" to 10-1/2" wide. Provided that your cart tires are within that range you can use this lock. What is the tire size on your golf cart?

The only option for your 1/2"x13 studs would be to use the etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 which will work with tires that are 6-3/4" - 10-1/2" wide or for spare tires you can use the Spare Tire Lock # FSTL0603 which will work with studs up to 9/16 in diameter. The best way to determine the cost and availability of these items is to...
view full answer... - Locking Coupler Solution for Trailer with Anderson Ultimate Hitch Receiver AdapterThere isn't a lock mechanism for the coupler portion of the Andersen Ultimate adapters like you found out when you contacted them. This is due to there not being a great way to lock the mechanism and the uniqueness of the system means the likelihood of a thief having the same setup on their truck is pretty unlikely. In situations like this a wheel lock like the part # 288-02020 is your best option.

Thinking a different direction though you could use the etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock part # 288-02020 this will give you the perfect solution for when it is stored or when you are at the launch and out on the boat to prevent theft. The only time this will not work where a typical hitch pin would is when you are actually driving down the road. Sorry there isn't a typical solution but...
view full answer... - Wheel Lock For 245/75R16 Tire SizeWe do have a wheel lock for your size 245/75R16 tires, but you are correct that the part you mentioned will not fit. Your 245/75R16 tires measure 9.6 inches wide, so what you can use is the following: - etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 The # 288-02020 is for tires that are 6-3/4" to 10-1/2" wide, so it will be a perfect fit for your tires to keep your truck safe and sound.
view full answer... - Where is the etrailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 Manufactured? The etrailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 is made in China. If you are looking for a U.S.A.-made wheel lock, the only one we carry is the Blaylock EZ Trailer Wheel Lock # BLEZ-302. This wheel lock is compatible with most 15" to 20" wheels and also has the ability to be keyed-alike. I went ahead and attached a demo video of the EZ wheel lock for you to check out.
view full answer... - Wheel Lock Solution for Shadow Gooseneck TrailerHey Barb, so gooseneck coupler locks are a bit more specific than other coupler locks so unless you could send me a picture or brand/model of the coupler the best option I could give you right now would be a wheel lock like the etrailer Wheel Lock part # 288-02020.
view full answer... - Trailer Lock Recommendation for Gooseneck Trailer with Atwood CouplerSince the Atwood AMPlock gooseneck coupler locks are no longer around your best option for a coupler lock will be a wheel lock to lock the trailer like the etrailer.com wheel lock part # 288-02020. This locks the trailer just as effectively as a coupler lock but is universal enough to fit basically any trailer out there or vehicle. It's the best solution for gooseneck trailers like yours where there isn't a coupler lock that fits the coupler.

The Lock N Roll coupler does not have a lock made for it, or a place where you could attach a lock. Since it is not a very common coupler and requires a special hitch to tow it, the chance of someone having a compatible hitch is unlikely as long as you keep yours locked...
view full answer... - Will the etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock Work On a Dually Axle TrailerIt sounds like you are referring to a dually setup rather than a tandem axle setup. If that is the case then you should have no issues at all with the etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock part # 288-02020. The arms gets removed for installation so you can pivot the other between the two tires and then make the final adjustments.

You should be able to locate the pin box manufacturer and the model number on a sticker decal or metal plate mounted on the pin box. Often this plate will be found on the inside of the pin box to protect it from weather damage. If your decal is missing or illegible, contact your trailer manufacturer with your trailer VIN and they should be able to look...
view full answer... - GPS Tracker and Wheel Lock for Trailer to Prevent TheftI would recommend a GPS tracker installed on the trailer like with the part # 300-AT3-S which will allow you to have the ability to track where it's at all times. The wheel locks like the part # 288-02020 are also hard to defeat and an easily visible deterant which will help prevent the temptation of a casual thief as well. Beyond that it's just stacking theft deterants to hopefully slow them down. Sorry to hear about your trailer though.

These mirrors will attach easy and will cause less vibration. The mirrors are easy to install you will just clip onto your factory side mirror. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Are Replacement Keys Available For The etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020? The etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 uses a difficult to duplicate locking system. We currently do not carry any spare keys for this wheel lock so if you have lost all your keys you will need to replace the wheel lock. If this is the case I recommend switching to the CLUB Tire Claw # WI491KA as you can get the Blank Key # WI490KEY to have additional keys cut.

I would also recommend the etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 for added security.

I have included a product description link and a video review link below.

After using the Stallion Trailer Wheel Lock for over a year now, I am pleased to say it continues to work properly and is an effective solution to prevent trailer theft. A very economical and effective tool that I would recommend to anyone with a trailer exposed to the outside world.
