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.


Demco eZ-Latch in Use

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.


Demco Coupler Cutaway

Unlike most couplers, which have a pin hole through the handle latch, the eZ-Latch coupler features a hole through 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 has a 200-hour salt spray rating, which is designed to limit rust and corrosion. The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is constructed of a durable composite material that's corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

  • Comparing Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Couplers # DM16080-95 & # DM15931-95
    The only difference in the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Couplers # DM16080-95 and # DM15931-95 is going to be the bolt pattern. One will have the 5-Bolt hole pattern and the other is going to have 4-Bolt holes. I have included images below showing the measurements for each of these bolt patterns to compare with what you have on your trailer. The etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock # e98888 will allow you to secure the coupler while attached to your vehicle. We also have a Pin # 37201211...

  • Is Demco 21K Weld-On Trailer Coupler Available
    Hey Chris! We don't have the weld-on 21K straight coupler from Demco, but you can still use a bolt-on style like the part # DM16080-95 you were looking at and have that welded to your trailer instead of bolting it in place. We used to have the (discontinued) Demco part DM12662-97 which was a weld-on equivalent to the Dexter Axle # T1755000 if you're wanting something like that instead.

  • Parts Needed To Convert Boat Trailer With Tandem 3,500LB Axles To Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Brake
    For your boat trailer with the tandem 3,500lb axles you will need two of the Kodiak Disc Brake Kits # K2HR35DS and two Bearing Kits # DBRKHW35EZ. These will replace the surge drum brake hubs you currently have with Dacromet and Stainless components for corrosion resistance in water. The HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS481-8067 will supply you with the actuator, breakaway battery, breakaway switch, HBA-Cam(To work with factory brake controller)...

  • Selecting the Correct Hydrastar EOH Actuator When Converting Triple Axle Surge Disc Brakes
    As you are converting your surge trailer with disc brakes you will want to go with the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator w/ Breakaway and 7-Way RV Harness # HS381-9067. This kit will include the junction box to run your wiring, a breakaway kit and the correct actuator. The 1,000psi Hydrastar # HBA-10 is for single or tandem axle trailers up to 7,000lbs GVWR with drum brakes. The 1,200psi Hydrastar # HBA-12 is for trailers using drum brakes over 8,000lbs GVWR with up to...

  • Replacement Trailer Coupler for 2-5/16 inch Hitch Ball
    Without knowing what coupler you have on your trailer it's hard to say what rebuild kit you'd need or if there was one available. So the best replacement option we have would be the Demco Coupler part # DM16080-95 which fits a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball, fits a 3 inch diameter trailer tongue, and also has a very easy to use latch design.

  • Parts Needed to Switch from Surge Disc Brake Actuator to Electric Over Hydraulic
    To switch from your current surge brake system to an electric over hydraulic system you'll need an EOH actuator, a brake controller and possibly a new coupler; you'll also need to re-wire the trailer so that it has a 7 way plug. Additionally, if you don't already have a 7 way plug on your tow vehicle, you will need to add one using a kit like the # ETBC7. For the actuator you can use the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HBA16, which is designed for...

  • Will the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler Fit a Trailer Tongue Wider then 3 Inches?
    No, it will not sorry. The Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # DM16080-95 won't fit a trailer tongue that is wider than 3". Additionally, I do not have a coupler like this that will fit a channel wider then 3". You may be able to use a channel bracket like item # BDAC3000300, weld it to the end of the tongue, and then use the coupler item # BDA256C0317.

  • Replacement Coupler For Boat Trailer Bolt On Surge Coupler Switched to Electric Actuated Brakes
    Thank you for the image. It appears you will need either the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13203-95 or # DM16080-95. Both of these couplers have a zinc coating for increased corrosion resistance and fit on a standard 3" wide channel tongue. The Coupler # DM13203-95 has the bolt holes spread 5" on center and 0.85" from the top of the coupler. The Coupler # DM16080-95 also has the bolt holes spread 5" on center but they sit lower at 1-1/4" below the top of the coupler. If...
