Today we'll be having a look at the Bulldog high-profile latch repair kit for heavy duty cowl lock couplers, part number BD054200. This kit also features a replacement cap spring, that if you only need that, it can be purchased separately as part number BD500354. This kit works on couplers such as part number BD028386, which used a 2" ball. We have our new latch here, a new clip, a new keeper clip, a new bushing, with 2 keeper washers, and our new spring. The reason we want this replacement latch kit is in case if it ever becomes damaged, we can easily replace it without having to weld on a whole new coupler to our trailer. We have a couple tools here today. A pair of channel lock pliers, and a flat-head screw driver.
This should be all you need to perform this repair. You may notice we have a coupler off to the side here, not actually attached to the trailer, just so it's easier for us to work with and show you how to replace these parts. First step, we'll pull our pin out, like so. Set it aside. Pull our latch back here, pop out this clip with a screw driver. We'll work the latch or the clop on out.
Now you have a couple options when you're replacing this. You can either cut it off and remove it multiple pieces, or you can slowly work it on out like this. We'll set it aside. Now we need to remove our handle. To do that we'll pop off these clip washers, once you have it off, set it aside.
There's a second one of those clip washers underneath. You can get that one off as well. With that off, set it aside. Push your pin off, remove our handle. We can flip it over and remove our spring. Use the screwdriver.
I'll take our spring on out. There's a pocket on both sides of it that it sits in, one there, one right there. We'll push the spring in place, one pocket, and push it down in the other one. Just like that. How we'll flip it over. This is the main reason while you're replacing this here, is in case our handle was to get damaged for some reason and our coupler operation didn't work properly. We'll put our handle in position, put the new pin in, flip it back over. We'll install our two clip washers. Push down on them and they'll clip into place. We have one started. Get it the rest of the way, we'll squeeze this together a little bit so our pin comes our more. We have one started, all the way on. We'll start the other one. With those both fully on now, we can get our new clip in here. Start one side, work it on up. Now when we pull back on it, we can push in our lock there, slide it back in place and our coupler is now secure over our hitch ball. We'll take our clip, push it in. Now our handle's locked position and our couple cannot come undone from our hitch ball.

Repair the latch on your Bulldog high-profile Collar-Lok coupler. Works with all Bulldog Collar-Lok trailer couplers with high profile latches. Includes high-profile latch handle, spring, latch wire, latch pin, push nut, and cotter pin.Just what I needed to repair my Bulldog hitch. Good quality parts and easy installation.
I’m extremely pleased with Collar-Loc repair kit I purchased. My livestock trailer (1985 Hale) I recently purchased has a Bull Dog coupler with collar but had no latch mechanism or mount for one. After watching your installation video I fabricated a mounting piece, drilled two 1/4” holes using the latch as a pattern then tack welded the mounting piece on the trailer tongue. The latch repair kit assembly fit onto the mounting piece but I needed to move and reweld the fabricated mount back about 3/16” in order for the latch kit to pull the Bull Dog collar back enough to allow the hitch to open. Now the trailer hitch opens and closes perfectly.
Part shipped same day. Shipping was a few days late, but part worked great.

The hitch-latch works great after 1 year. It rusted pretty quickly, but fully operational
Exactly what I needed to fix my trailer after someone backed into my hitch. The shipping took a couple weeks longer than expected.
Bought a trailer that had this handle broken. Immediately went to etrailer to see if they had it. It was a perfect match. Bought on a Sunday, received it on a Thursday. Install only took a minute literally. Only time will tell about quality but that will be in my follow up. Once again etrailer with top notch customer service. Thank you.
Good service!!
Easy to install, solid, has rusted a bit. Only place I could get the part from- other places wanted to remove the front of the trailer and weld on a new front end!
About a three minute fix. Parts were perfect and assembled effortlessly!

Working very well! Thanks for the follow up!
Lost the strong wire connector between the operating lever and collar on my Bulldog hitch. Spent many years pulling the collar back by hand. Through Bulldog, found E-trailer. Their folks helped me find the exact 'hi-profile' part that I needed even though the trailer just celebrated its 40th birthday. Ordered the item and it was shipped within a few hours. Then USPS had it for just short of a week getting it from Missouri to Austin. Will have the new item installed today and back to being a happy trailer tower. Thanks etrailer. Very good job and I will be back.

the part was easy to install and has been working perfectly ever since. Thanks again etrailer.
I ordered the Bulldog coupler repair kit but really just needed the sliding retainer wire actuator.
Also my hitch is the heavy duty coupler but still uses the same repair kit.
Easy install and operates normally

still working great.
Have had the trailer with a 2 5/16 ball bulldog hitch for 40 years. The unit that locks the collar into place became a bit bent and the wire piece distorted making an unsafe condition, which I found out when my hitch did not lock properly. The trailer came off the ball and the yelling and screaming began. Etrailer had the parts for this old hitch which they still make today. Bulldog, a great choice and etrailer a great spot to buy from. Great buying experience.
Fast shipping, made the repairs in just a few minutes. Hitch works better thatn it has for some time.

I dont use that trailer very often, but it fixed the coupler.
This was a hard to find repair kit that I needed to repair my trailer hitch. With out this kit I would have had to weld on a new hitch. I would recommend this kit to everyone.

Its been a year and not a bit of trouble. Just a bit of grease to keep it lubed and it works now as well as the day we fixed the trailer.
trailer hitch was very easy to install only had to drop the right side exhaust hanger to install hitch. only plan on using hitch for bike rack maybe a small utility trailer.
Replacement latch worked perfectly for our horse trailer. Took a total of 5 minutes to replace. So glad that etrailer.com has this item available.
I was glad to find that somebody had parts available to fix a bulldog coupler without having to buy a whole new one it was easy peasy to install
Bulldog repair kit showed up ahead of schedule. Install video was very helpful. Took about 20 minutes to do and the trailer is good to go. Have the site bookmarked for future needs. Cheers!
Customer service was excellent. Product arrived in an acceptable time frame

Works great. Fit perfectly
The kit was as advertised and looked very good. I really need measurments for the tab that welds on the coupler neck as both of mine have been cut off after the latch broke. I can find one somewhere and make a drawing of it
Product was delivered on time. The quality of the product is heavy duty but slightly larger than original. Due to design of trailer it is actually too big to fit on tongue but that is my problem and not sellers.
