eZ-Latch Coupler
This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball.
The contoured, low-profile design of the latch handle helps protect the coupler from damage by allowing any potential hazards - from debris on the road to your ball mount backing into the coupler - to simply slide over the top. This helps prevent anything from getting under the latch handle and releasing the ball, and it can also limit any damage to the coupler should an impact occur
Unlike most couplers, which have a pin hole on the handle latch, the eZ-Latch coupler features a hole on the side of the coupler itself. Inserting a coupler lock through this hole will keep the latch from lifting, preventing disconnect and theft.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Made of sturdy steel, this coupler features a durable zinc coating that is designed to limit rust and corrosion. This finish has a 300-hour salt spray rating, allowing it to stand up to the elements.
The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is constructed of an impact-resistant polymer-nylon-resin compound that provides the flexibility and strength needed to bounce back from a collision. The handle is corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

Video Transcript for Review of Demco Adjustable Trailer Coupler - Trailer Coupler 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball - DM14040-95
Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a look at this Demco Trailer Coupler. This cast ball coupler is gonna let you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle, giving you a connection point for your 2 5/16 inch hitch ball. The easy latch mechanism is going to ensure simple, secure hookups and disconnect, letting you hook up when the latch is in closed position and you're just going to drop the coupler over the hitch ball and the latch will snap into play. So I have a 2 5/16 inch hitch ball here. I just want to give you an example of that.
Obviously, this is going to work a little bit easier and a little bit smoother when you have this installed, but I'm just gonna show you how this can connect with the latch down. (metal thudding) So as you can see you, you're not gonna have to have that latch up and it's going to provide that secure connection for you. And then just lift this up for an easy release, and it's gonna be just as simple as that. The corrosion-proof polymer nylon resin composite latch handle is durable and impact-resistant, and the sleek low profile design is going to allow hazards to simply slip over the top of the coupler, preventing damage to latch components. Now the adjustable channel mount is going to let you change the coupler's height depending on your application.
And the channel bracket and mounting hardware are sold separately, but you can find it here at etrailer.com. And this is going to mount into a three inch wide channel bracket. And the holes, the mounting holes are 5/8 of an inch in diameter. And let me see if I can line my ruler up here to give you the measurements of those mounting holes on center. So as you can see, center to center, they're sitting right at two inches.
Now this coupler is made here in the U.S.A. of a sturdy steel construction that offers a weight capacity of 21,000 pounds. I do wanna make an important note that four 5/8 of an inch grade 5 mounting bolts must be used to achieve that 21,000 pound weight capacity. The zinc finish is going to give you great corrosion resistance, giving you a 300-hour salt spray rating. This is SAE J684 certified.
And let me get my ruler again and give you some overall measurements here of this coupler, just so you can be aware of the size. So lining this up as best as I can. The overall length, we're sitting a little over eight inches, it looks like, probably about 8 1/8 inches long. And then looking at the width, again, this is gonna fit in your three inch channel. So as you can see, this is about 2 7/8 inches wide. And you can run a lock through here. And that lock pin hole is 5/16 of an inch. And you'll need to make sure that if you do pick up a pin lock, it has a minimum span of three inches. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

We really like these new Demco eZ Latch styles.
by: Anthony R.05/17/2020
This is heavy duty if you're looking for a great reliable coupler. Replaced on a trailer I use to haul my D2 Catepillar. The coupler has performed above and beyond, over rough terrain and long hauls. No signs of wear and absolutely no metal failure or stress fractures like previous couplers from other suppliers.

Awesome coupler!!! Lookin for a robust coupler…. Look no further!
by: Peter01/06/2024
The coupler that came with our teardrop did the job, but getting hooked up and secure on the ball was a real pain that would take multiple attempts to reposition it before it dropped fully in place. I like the Demco eZ-latch. So much better. I uploaded 3 photos: 1) original coupler, 2) trailer frame with new holes drilled and old holes filled with Bondo, 3) Demco coupler in place. The changeover was very easy.

It is the best used yo have a the older style i was always worried if it had latched correctly but with this latch system I dont have to do anything i dont even have to see it i can just hear it click when its latching on its own and i know its right dont forget to buy the pin for it i have actually bought two one for each of my trailers
by: David 04/26/2024
Great upgrade to my heavy trailers. Would be 5 stars if the locking pin hole would accept a larger diameter lock or a padlock.
by: Garry L02/09/2024
The hitch is excellent for our 14,000lb equipment trailer.
Only issue is the hole for the padlock was too small for any locks and we drilled it out to accommodate one.
Con- Shipping was not very good. It was returned to the dealer twice because it was sent via United Postal Service and our shop has not Post office box. Only a location address. The USPS does not take packages to our location. We could not seem to get the package sent via UPS or FedEx to us.
Only time this has happened when ordering from etrailer.
by: Tony 04/24/2024
The ease of latching and not having to lift the latch handle is very nice and unlachine it's a breeze, works very well very happy with the coupler
by: Charles 05/04/2024
Was the perfect part to replace the pintle hitch that was previously on my 15K trailer.
by: Dave07/05/2022
Very good quality, construction, and finish. This was used to replace a 5000# rated coupler on my RV trailer that was just not strong enough. It has an extra 2-3" of length than the old coupler so make sure your safety chains have enough length to accommodate the extra length. One bonus for me was that the extra length was just enough to allow me to open the back door of my SUV with the trailer hitched (which I couldn't do before). The DEMCO coupler does take a 2 1/2" wide hitch pin /lock which is different than most couplers.

I’m a 75 year old disabled woman who was about to give up traveling due to the efforts to hitch and unhitch my trailer. I got this new hitch installed and it changed my life; it is effortless. I’m on the beach now while a winter storm is raging around the U.S. thank you so much for a hitch that changed my life.
by: Shannon 04/30/2024
I didn’t use the bolts it came with. Just got two grade 8 bolts like my pj trailer came with, easier to adjust.
by: Ted 09/10/2023
Heavy duty for sure. Drilling 1/2” holes in 1/4” thick angle iron on the trailer required more than a hand drill, but other than that installation was simple. Removing the original coupler was a chore because it was welded on both top and bottom. I had to use a hacksaw (3 blades), 2 lb mallet, large crowbar, steel chisel, grinder. Fortunately I had all that, and I’m very pleased with the result.
by: Matthew10/13/2023
Great product! This thing's built like a tank. We're always pulling the heaviest things possible with our trailers and this stands up to the job.
by: Kent 03/08/2024
This is the second one I have owned and they work real good. No problems hanging up.
by: Brock07/06/2019
When my old coupler failed I was very happy to find a bolt on coupler this heavy as most are weld on for a trailer this heavy. I wish I would have changed the coupler years ago. I always had trouble with the old one. This one is so easy to latch and unlatch from my truck. It is great quality.
