Coupler width

Trailer Security Lock

You can lock your trailer coupler with a padlock, but it might not provide enough security to keep your trailer safe. A padlock can only be used to lock the coupler latch on your coupler, and to fit through the latch, the shackle on it has to be pretty thin. That means the shackle on a padlock is typically easy to cut.


The shackle on this wraparound lock is considerably thicker than a standard padlock shackle, making it harder to cut through. Also, because the shackle on this lock wraps around the head of your coupler instead of just fitting through the tiny latch, it just plain looks more secure.


The built-in ball on this lock engages in your coupler's ball socket, completely blocking the opening to prevent any tampering. The shackle fits over your coupler and ratchets down tightly and evenly. Because it ratchets on both sides, even if someone manages to slice through the shackle, it won't be enough to remove the lock. A (patient) thief would have to cut the thick shackle in multiple places to work it off of your coupler.


Simple Installation

To install this lock on your trailer:


Coupler lock installation

First, remove the shackle from the lock body and insert the built-in ball into your coupler's ball socket.


Coupler lock installation

Then, position the shackle over your coupler and line it up with the holes in the lock body. Push the shackle down, ratcheting it until it's snug around the coupler.


This lock can also be used as a general-purpose U-lock so you can lock down chains, secure doors, and more. To use this as a U-lock, just remove the ball plug plate and set it aside.

Video Transcript for Review of Trimax Locks Trailer Coupler Locks - Dual Purpose Coupler Lock And U Lock - TMX77FR

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a look at this TRIMAX dual-purpose coupler lock and U-lock. With this universal coupler lock, you're gonna be able to keep your unattended trailer safe from theft. This universal coupler lock is going to fit 1 7/8-inch, two-inch, and 2 5/16-inch ball couplers. I do happen to have a coupler here that fits two-inch balls. I just wanted to show you how easy this is to use. I'm gonna use one of the two included keys that comes with this.

And go ahead and unlock this. I'm gonna pull this shackle out, and then just put this around the coupler. Now, I will go ahead and remove the key here 'cause you do not need the key in the lock to lock this. So I'm gonna go ahead and just go ahead and start pushing the shackle down through the lock. And you can hear that dual-ratchet locking system in action.

Gonna make this as tight as I can, and it looks like we are good to go. So this is gonna provide 360 degrees of protection for your unattended trailer. I mentioned that dual-ratchet locking system. It is theft resistant. And this hardened steel construction with this red finish is corrosion resistant.

So this can also be used with cables and chains for added security. So I'm just gonna go ahead and unlock this, comes off very easily. Then again, I'm just gonna turn my key here and push the shackle back into place, and you can hear that dual-ratchet system again. This features a narrow body with a 1/2-inch hardened steel shackle. And as I mentioned, this does include two rugged tubular keys.

And let me pull out my ruler here and just give you the measurement. In between that shackle, we are sitting right at four inches across to the U-shape locking pin. And this is very rugged, feels very heavy duty. And I think this finish is going to hold up rather well. It doesn't easily flake off. So it's gonna continue to provide that corrosion resistance for a while. This does have a limited lifetime warranty. And if this matches the specifications that you're looking for, I think this is gonna be a great option for you to consider. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

The overall quality seems excellent! The locks work smoothly and will be perfect for my Ranger trailer and Seadoo trailer. I was also surprised to see both locks were keyed the same. A big plus in this case.



by:

I like this coupler lock. I wanted something that would "hopefully" deter people from wanting to "borrow" my trailer. It fits nice and snug!



by:

USED IT TO REPLACE A REESE HD ONE THAT THE LOCK FAILED THE SECOND TIME USED



by:

Fits very well and should add security



by:

Awful customer service. Took almost two months for my items to be delivered to my house. Will never buy anything from this website again.



by:

Turning the keys in the lock is a bit sticky right out-of-the-box. The black plastic casing feels very light-weight - will have to see if it can hold up to winters in the Northeast or if it'll crack.



by:

I’ve got these locks on all my trailers and only had 1 fail in the 15 years I’ve been using them.



by:

I've researched many types of trailer coupler locks and I think I found this Trimax Dual Purpose Coupler Lock to be the best fit for my application. It is heavy duty and I like that the key lock is protected by a flip-back cover to protect the key insertion area from the elements. It is easy to use and I'm confident this lock will provide years of security for my trailer.



by:

Works as expected. Fits perfectly. Now I don't have worry about someone stealing my camper.



by:

Very good transaction. Needed a lock with a wider opening for the shackle than others.



by:

Product was great but the order almost didn't make it to me in its entirety. They shipped everything including the two hitch couples (heavy objects) in a small wimpy cardboard box that was all broken up with a 2 inch hole by the time it got here. The packaging (plastic) of the lock was also broken inside and it was a miracle that the keys got stuck inside one of the couplers or else they would have fallen out of the hole in the cardboard box. The cap was also there but could have fallen out. Zero packaging like bubble wrap etc. Come on guys you are professionals, I know you can do better than that... Zero stars on packing the order... nobody wants to deal with broken or missing items, let's do better next time.



by:

The lock is very hefty. I haven’t got my trailer yet, so as soon as I do, it’ll be the first thing I put on it when not in use.

  • Do Trimax Dual Purpose Coupler Locks Use Unique Keys
    The Trimax Dual Purpose Coupler Lock and U-Lock # TMX77FR uses unique keys for the locks. If you were to buy two of these I would expect the keys to be different. If you're looking for a similar lock with a keyed alike option I recommend the Fastway # FA86-0015-316. This also fits 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" ball couplers. You can actually choose the key number, in this case it is 316, so the keys will work with however many you need. If you don't like 316 I have attached a link below which...

  • Recommended Surround Coupler Lock That Can be Keyed Alike
    I have an alternative option for you, but the Trimax Dual Purpose Coupler Lock and U-Lock # TMX77FR is only available as a unique keyed option. For a similar style that can be keyed alike I recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-301 instead. This has the same basic design as the one you were looking at but it has a slightly larger shackle at 5/8" diameter plus there is a rubber plug to cover the keyhole and help keep dirt and debris out of it. Attached are some...

  • Are You Able To Get Replacement Keys For Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler Lock # 63228?
    We do not carry any replacement keys for the Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler Lock # 63228 as the manufacturer does not provide these. I recommend replacing your lock with the Trimax Dual Purpose Coupler Lock # TMX77FR. This will allow you to order replacement keys directly from Trimax by simply ordering the key based on the number stamped on the key. This way you could still get a replacement key if you lost both your keys.
