Arrived quick. Mixup in ordering (added key alike, but could not do it with an older lock I had bought of same type). Chat agent adjusted the invoice balance on the spot.

Great screw together safey/security feature. (Not just a push thru pin) Stainless steel no rust. Works like new
by: WDJ04/06/2021
Lock functions well though after a year it is corroding which is a disappointment as this is why I purchased a stainless steel lock
by: DaveP11/04/2016
This has been a great lock for my hitch. No rust, and a solid little lock. The 1/2" version fit perfect on my Bulldog hitch. The 7/8" lock was a bit too long, so be sure to measure. I also got the larger receiver lock, also in stainless, and also a fantastic lock. You can get both locks keyed the same so there's one less key to worry about. Highly recommended!

Nice added security to my trailer hitch. The quality is nice.
by: Chris04/04/2013
Another cleverly designed, high-quality product from DeadBolt. I was able to get this item keyed alike with other products from this company such as the hitch receiver lock and the trailer coupler lock. Thumbs way up.

I stand by my review and I love these DeadBolt products.

So easy to install. Insert key in one end and twist other end to separate parts for install or remove. SS should eliminate rust concern.
by: Vince C.05/04/2017
I purchased this for my Keystone Laredo Travel Trailer. I could not use this in my application because the side barrels were too big to close the latch. (the locking hole was too close to the hitch structure) I feel that this is a quality lock and liked the Stainless construction. I believe that it would have worked great and saved it for future trailers. I purchased a locking assembly from another company for my travel trailer. Small Company, best lock out there for this application. E-Trailer should sell these.
by: Dennis W.08/11/2016
Product is good--However a couple of problems--in very cold / snowy weather, as experienced in northern Ontario, Canada, lock can freeze up. Needed to heat the key and lock with a lighter, then try to insert the heated key to thaw the workings. Then sprayed in lock thaw product. Yes, the rubber / plastic protective end cap was in place prior to trying to unlock.
by: Marc M07/01/2021
Potential buyers should be aware that the barrels on the ends have a large enough diameter that might prevent its use on your trailer--as it did mine. The lock does appear to have a good build quality though; and, if it fit I would use it.

Thank you for your review. The span of the pin is 78 of an inch. If the width of the latch is wider than that, you will need a longer latch lock. I have added a link for the latch locks we offer.

This is a good unit, I have one like it for the receiver. However, this one doesn't fit my trailer. The large diameter ends are too big to fit. My coupler doesn't have enough height between the center of the hole and the top of the coupler head. It would be helpful to include this measurement on the description and/or video. I feel that my coupler is a common size/style but cannot use this device.
by: Wayne S12/06/2021
Great quality hitch lock for my travel trailer hitch latch. Fast shipping too as usual. Great job Etrailer.com.
by: John03/16/2015
Did not fit my coupler because the diameter of the two main barrels are too big and would not allow the lock to line up through the couplers hole. Otherwise a quality lock, I would have liked to keep it.
by: Brad06/08/2018
Doesn't fit my camper or sure-trac trailer coupler due to the end being so big. The width is good but can't install when coupler is latched.
by: TLV05/05/2015
I bought this to compliment a trailer and receiver lock that I had purchased earlier and had it keyed to match. Worked great and etrailers customer service was excellent, as always.
by: Bennett 07/22/2020
Nice quality coupler lock. Nicer than other name brand locks. Hopefully it will resist corrosion as advertised.
by: Lee O.07/30/2016
I ordered several at the same time so that I could get them keyed the same. They were. They fit my trailers as planned. Now I will see if they can withstand the "test of time". Being stainless I hope they do.
by: Paul A10/12/2016
Product construction is very good. At the time of purchase, I did not realize the different type of locking mechanism. The unit locks using a 1/4-20 stud threading into the shaft portion of the lock. A bit weird at first use, but got used to it. I did contact eTrailer and asked some questions. The rep was very nice and down to earth.
by: Greg03/26/2013
Feels like a high quality lock. Love that's it's stainless steel. It's a little cumbersome to use the key like a screwdriver and unscrew the lock head though. Bonus that they can be keyed alike with the same brand.
by: James 09/30/2019
Easy ordering, fast shipment and product received matched product description.
Second order with etrailer.com - always very satisfied with purchases.
by: Mike S.10/25/2017
The Deadbolt Stainless Option is the way to go. The fit and finish was excellent. eTrailer has been great the whole way. Thanks etrailer for the products and service.
by: Jesse02/22/2018
Like the design, but had lost the keys and had to break them. Literally one hit with a hammer and the broke off. They keep honest people honest, but are a low grade level of protection.
by: David N01/02/2023
Solid lock, great value!
by: Scott.D.02/14/2012
Love it. Now all my locks are keyed the same. I have three trailers all with different coupler types. Very helpful sales staff as well.
by: John T.04/08/2011
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to eTrailer.com, they give the option to get them keyed alike.

- Availability of Keyed Alike Trailer Hitch and Trailer Coupler LockFor the lock for the 2-1/2 inch receiver, I'd recommend our etrailer.com # e98881. For the coupler lock, there are several available choices with different spans. # e98884 - 1/2 inch span # e98886 - offers a 2 inch span # e98887 - 2-1/2 inch span # e98890 - 7/8 inch span # e98888 - 3-3/8 inch span On the product description page for each item, there's a drop down menu where you can choose 'keyed unique' or 'keyed alike'.

- Solution for Keyed Alike Receiver and Coupler Latch LocksThe Flint Hill Goods # FHG22VR and # FHG44ZR do not come with a keyed alike option. Instead, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 and Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # e98890. Choosing the Keyed Alike option in the drop down menu before you add to cart will get you a full set of matching keys and locks.
view full answer... - Comparing the Stainless Steel Trailer Coupler Lock e98890 and Trailer Coupler Lock e98889The Stainless Steel Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98890 is made of stainless steel, not chrome plated which is why it is more expensive than the Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98889 which is chrome plated steel. The stainless steel option is better as you don't run the risk of the chrome plating chipping and exposing unprotected steel. In regards to the Bulldog Lifelong Trailer Coupler Lock part # BD580403, this will work with pretty much any trigger style latch with a 1/4" diameter pin...

view full answer... - Can Deadbolt Hitch Lock # 40107 be Keyed Alike to Coupler LockYes, if you select "keyed alike" on the product page for the hitch lock part # e98882 and on the page for the coupler lock part # e98895 you'll get both the coupler and hitch locks keyed alike. If you had a different coupler lock in mind you'd be able to do the same thing to have it keyed the same as the # e98882.
view full answer... - Recommended Coupler Lock for Demco Channel Tongue Trailer CouplerTo secure your Demco coupler, part # DM12925, which you referenced, I recommend our etrailer.com Stainless Steel Trailer Coupler Lock, part # e98890. This part uses a barrel type lock that's ultra secure.
view full answer... - Do you Have the etrailer Trailer Coupler Latch Lock with a 1 SpanThe closest I have to the 1" is the etrailer Trailer Coupler Latch Lock part # e98890 which has the 7/8" span. There is some excess threading in the lock when installing it that will allow it to work with your 1" span requirements. Unfortunately they can only be keyed alike when ordered together.
view full answer... - Trailer Coupler Latch Lock with 1 Inch Pin SpanMaster Lock has an adjustable latch lock, # 2847DAT that has presets for either a 1 inch span or a 2 inch span. We also have some that are 7/8 inch spans which is 1/8 of an inch more than a 3/4. We have # e98890, # 2878DAT, and # e98889. I have linked some video reviews of these locks for you.

Or even # e98890 with a 7/8 inch span or # e98886 which has a 2 inch span. On the product page you'll select keyed alike on the drop down menu and all of the locks will use same key.
view full answer... - Coupler Pin Lock and Ball Mount Lock Recommendation Keyed AlikeSounds like you'd want our etrailer.com Pin Lock part # e98890 for the pin lock and then for the 2 inch hitch lock you'd want the hitch lock part # e98880 which you can then select keyed alike on both from the drop down menu and they'll come with the same lock core.
view full answer... - Can Master Lock Trailer Coupler Locks be Keyed Alike?The Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock - Stainless Steel # 2847DAT is not offered in a keyed alike option, so if you order 3 you will have 3 separate keys.

view full answer... - Recommended Coupler Locks for Bulldog Cast Head Coupler # BDA256C0317I pulled one of the Bulldog # BDA256C0317 couplers off the shelf, and tested it with various coupler locks. Other than our etrailer.com locks like the # e98890 that pass through the latch, I found three locks that would work pretty well for you. The fit of the Blaylock EZ Lock # BLTL-33 was a bit loose, but once the locking bar was slid into place, I was unable to remove the lock by hand, although a pry bar might get it off. The Master Lock Universal Trailer Coupler Lock, # 379DAT installed...

This lock is made from durable stainless steel and comes with a dust cap for the lock face to keep it free from moisture and debris.

For a similar option you can use our etrailer.com # e98890 which can be keyed alike. Alternatively, you may be interested in the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-318 which can also be keyed alike and add even more security.

- Replacement Keys for Bulldog Lifelong Trailer Coupler Latch LockUnfortunately, the Bulldog Life Locks like part # BD580403 are uniquely keyed and replacement keys aren't available. Your best bet would be to cut the lock off and replace it. The etrailer brand locks are available keyed alike if you wish, so you could get a locking hitch pin like # e98882 and a latch lock like # e98890 that are keyed alike. If you write down the key number, and put it in a safe place (but not so safe that you can't find it later), we can get replacement keys for you if...

The Masterlock has the advantage of being able to be used on many different styles of coupler and has a normal style key that can be duplicated at a local hardware store.
