Today we're going to be taking a look at the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock. The universal design is going to protect most trailers from being towed away, so it'd designed to provide maximum security for your unattended trailer. That's going to protect it from theft. It's going to use a multi-step uniball that fits into any size ball coupler. This piece is a solid construction. It's not hollow like similar designs and models, and the shackle has a nice, unique bend.
This is a reversible design that allows it to snug up tight to most type of couplers or coupler latches, including all the ones that you see here on the table, such as a-frame, straight channel, round tongue, flat plate and surge type couplers. It's also going to accommodate a variety of latching mechanisms such as trigger, pin, thumb and wrap-around yoke latches. It works great on all the ones that you see here on the table. Really nice universal design that's going to provide maximum security to your unattended trailer. The unit features a tube key-lock cylinder that provides better security than standard key mechanisms. It's a lot harder to pick and it's more difficult to duplicate keys.
It's also going to feature an anti-drill pin that discourages attempts to drill out the lock. The unit's also going to feature bolt blocked locking system to prevent thieves from prying the lock open. Inside this hole right there, there's going to be a small bolt that engages the shackle. Right now it would be in the unlocked position, and you can see how that comes out just a little bit. It doesn't take much to secure the unit.
That bolt that runs through engages the grooves on the shackle to keep it from being pried off of the trailer coupler. When it comes to the construction, we're looking at a hardened steel construction. When it comes to the shackle, it's going to provide maximum cut resistance. The chrome-plated finish does a great job at resisting rust and corrosion. We're looking at a solid, dye-cast corrosion-resistant housing that's very strong and very durable. Two keys are included per lock.
They are numbered, so the keys are going to be unique to the universal lock that you choose. This is going to fit 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" ball couplers. You just need to make sure that the coupler width does not exceed 4-1/2". The shackle diameter is 5/8" and the unit's going to be covered with a limited lifetime warranty. I just want to show you how it installs and how easy it is to use. What you'll need to do is separate the two components, so just move it to the unlocked position. It also has a nice dust cap that protects that lock opening. It's going to do a great job at keeping out dirt and moisture. When you're ready to use it, all you need to do is make sure that the coupler is in the open position. The ball portion goes in there. All you've got to do is secure it just as if you're hooking up to your hitch ball, and then install the shackle. You need to determine which way is going to work best for your application. For this one, I just want to make sure that the point is pointing back towards the trailer. It is a universal design, that way you can adjust it however you to use the lock to fit your application the best. We just move it to an unlocked position. Allow that shackle to go down as far as possible. Move the key to the locked position and it removes from the core. Place over the dust cap, and that's on there, it's not going to come off. The only way to get it off is to use one of the two keys to unlock the unit. That's going to do it for today's look at the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock.

Protect just about any trailer from theft with this universal coupler lock, which uses a unique "ball" and shackle to fit a variety of coupler sizes and styles. Secures trailer when it is not in tow.I’ve got several of these locks, and I bought them all to use the same key number. I had trailers stolen twice before I found these. The third time I had video of the thief and he could do anything with this lock except look at it. He gave up and left.
Great products. Very convenient to have all my trailers locked and using only one key
These trailer coupler locks are great, easy to install and easy to take off. More than pleased the product and the shipping! Thanks guys, keep up the good work!
I still have my trailer so I'm guessing the lock works.
Works great. I park my trailer in public areas on occasion. It hasn't gotten ripped off yet!
I already have this lock, wanted another for my camper I think it was great I could order another with the same key code, I have 2 locks and use same key. Awesome.
Seems sturdy. Unfortunately Fastway is one of those companies that thinks it is necessary to collect marketing information for you to complete warranty registration. Minus 1 star for that.
I have not installed the lock on the trailer yet! My trailer is available! From what I can see the lock looks very strong and easy to use! I'm sure looking forward to using the lock! It should provide excellent security!
As always, e-tailer delivers a quality product at a reasonable price with quick shipping. I like the option to purchase Coupler locks that are keyed the same.
I own 3 of them, nice thing was I was able to order all 3 with the same key. Simple to use and adds sense of security.
This is one serious coupler lock. If anybody manages to steal my boat they will have earned it.
Best quality coupler lock on the market. Also priced fair!
Ball not as big as it should be and had to shim it. Tricky to get it tight enough to stay on my trailer hitch. Very heavy duty and seems to do the job.
We’ve been using this coupler lock on our little camper for about a year. It’s easy to use, and we can rest a bit easier knowing our camper is protected.
Love the product I have 8 of them keyed alike nothing stolen
It has proved to be an awesome trailer lock. Locking mechanism works smoothly. I purchased 1 for each of my 3 trailers and all keyed alike.
Sent key code as ordered to mstch our fleet. Thank You!
I bought several of these, keyed alike and have found them useful. The keyed alike feature is a winner. One key on every set of vehicle keys and I can access any of the rigs at will. The product itself can be a bit tricky to align, and on a steel hitch it will take some of the paint off eventually. Better than getting stolen I'd say. I've used it on 2 inch, 2&5/16 50mm and 1&7/8 couplers. The best fit is on the hitch I show a picture of, though in this case the lock is probably worth more than the trailer. . .
I was a little disappointed in the lock. The shackle is very robust and I'm sure very strong but the body of the lock, I'm not so sure. It feels very light weight. It is not magnetic so it's not steel. It appears to be cast aluminum or diecast. It seems like one good wack with a hammer would break it but maybe not, maybe it's stronger than I think. It does fit very nice and tight on my coupler and the only way a thief would get it off would be to
break it or cut it. I would buy it again if I needed one for another trailer.
quite a set up ,,hope it keeps folks from taking my trailer
Locks seem heavy duty. I tried them on 4 different types of locks and found no issues with them locking. I purchased these for our whole fleet of trailers so time will tell how the hold up.
great fast sevice
This has been locking my trailer in my front yard for a year now i find where they have hit it with a hammer and it still works. good lock
I have bought several of these locks for my dumpster rental business which I use several dump trailers for. I love that they can all be keyed the same. They are the only coupler lock I have found that reliably works. They do have to be lubricated every now and then to keep them working smoothly. That’s my only complaint.
Locks down tight on my E Pro coupler with the bend behind the swell of the ball portion of the coupler.
