AMPLock King Pin Lock for Commercial 5th Wheel Trailers - Conical - Ductile Cast Iron

Video Transcript for Review of AMPLock King Pin Locks - Cast Iron King Pin Lock - AMP27FR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at this Amplock King Pin Lock. This is a nice heavy duty cast iron lock, that's going to help prevent your trailer from being stolen, by preventing any would-be thief from hooking up to your king pin. So this is going to surround your commercial fifth-wheel trailer's kingpin, so that it won't fit into any thieves hitch. The conical design here is going to also hinder thieves from using chains, because in theory, the chains will just slip right down, so they won't be able to use those. This is going to have an inner width of 2 7/8 inch, just shy of three inches, and then in our height or depth, there of about 3 1/4 inch.

So it will work for that commercial fifth-wheel trailer's kingpin. This does have a nice cover here, that's going to slide open to reveal our lock core. And this is a rotating disc tumbler lock, that's going to provide maximum security for us. So the two included keys will work with that lock once we get it aligned properly, and it's got those cylinders in there, that allow this to be a lot more secure than your spring loaded locks. So this is going to resist picking and drilling.

You can push the cylinder in, without the keys. That's going to lock it in place, and then to open it up, you just have to stick one of those two keys in there, give it a twist and then pull it out. And now the lock core is going to have a nice secure combination, there's nearly a million different possible key codes for this lock core. So it's extremely unlikely that anyone else, even if they have the same brand and model, it's very unlikely that they'll have a matching key to be able to unlock your lock, so it is going to be very secure for you. This does have a nice heavy duty ductile cast iron construction, so it's going to absorb shock to prevent breaking.

It's also going to resist any kind of cutting, including cutting with a torch or liquid nitrogen. And it does have this Ecoat finish , that's going to resist corrosion, so it will hold up really well for you. You can see we do have those three small holes on the bottom, they're to help drain any moisture that is getting in there, to make sure that it's not going to corrode your kingpin or cause any damage. And then we can just very easily close that little tab there to protect our lock core from any corrosion or anything there as well. So, really nice king pin lock here if you are wanting a little bit more security for your trailer, make sure that no one's able to hook up and take off with it.

This is going to be a great option for you. That's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..
