This heavy-duty coupler lock obstructs access to your trailer coupler to prevent would-be thieves from hitching your trailer to their tow vehicle and driving off with your gear.
Durable Construction
The lock is constructed of extruded, tempered aluminum, making it strong and durable. The lock housing features a double nickel chrome finish, and the shuttered keyhole protects the inside of the lock from the elements. Complete with a yellow powder coat finish, this high-visibility coupler lock is both sturdy and rust resistant. And the bright color provides additional theft deterrent.
Quick, Simple Operation
To install this lock on your coupler, insert the key and rotate it to release the locking pin. Slide the lock body onto the flat lip of your trailer coupler. Push the locking pin into the hitch ball socket to engage, rotate the key back to lock the pin in place, and remove the key.

Use this sturdy, rustproof aluminum coupler lock with high-visibility yellow color to help prevent trailer towaway theft. Fits trigger-style, 2-5/16" ball couplers with flat lips. Can be keyed alike to match other etrailer locks.by: Wade 03/09/2023
Great looking product. Works as advertised. I think most would-be trailer thieves would keep moving when they notice this lock. However, if the bad guy was motivated and prepared, I don't think this product would put up too big of a fight against a heavy prybar (I don't think a flat prybar would get this off, but a big long round bar prybar/crowbar definitely would). This is good security, not high security.

This is a nice lock. My trailer is a 2016 Riverside Retro and this lock fits on the coupler perfectly.
by: Steven04/29/2024
After one year of use, I’ve found this is by far the best coupler lock I have ever owned. It slides on easily, secures with a 90 degree turn of the key, and offers great peace of mind wile our travel trailer is in storage. The yellow can’t be missed. It’s a well built, tough product. I believe it will last for many years.
by: Eric 02/09/2024
Have locks on all my trailers and like the fact that I purchase different colored locks to simplify finding the proper key having many trailers,wish that some day having one key that works on all the locks.
by: Rick 02/11/2024
The e trailer coupler lock works perfectly with trailer that I have. I’ve had no issues or problems with the lock.
by: Ed01/06/2024
Since my trailers are in view from the street I put locks on them. This is easy on an off but still more secure then my older ones. So I do use them more and I don’t have get down on ground with an Allen wrench to put it on. Luv it!

Guys, I think you are all doing a great Job! I made a big order. Then I had Changes that Kate stepped in and took care of. She helped me in making choices. canceling some long lead parts for alternatives. I got everything I needed. Even the long lead chocks. She keep me informed the entire couple of weeks. until everything arrived. She was great! Thanks Ross

Lock works as advertised. Fair pricing and good shipping experience.
by: Lynn02/09/2023
This fits great on my Forest River RV Trailer with a flat lip on the tongue of the trailer. It is very easy to put on and take off and very secure on the trailer.
by: TheFishStream12/10/2023
I am sure it works well if it fit. Either I was confused or the description was misleading. Either way it does not fit my rig. This does not fit older Airstreams.
by: Ron06/28/2021
Bought for my travel trailer. Unfortunately our hitch is “stubby” with a “ramp” piece to help guide the ball into the hole better which prevents the lock from sliding far enough on & lock. Decided to keep for use on jetski trailer instead of returning.
by: Steve01/17/2024
Sometimes key won't turn but other than that works great.

This can be a common problem with these type of locks. You can use a penetrating oil in the lock to help loosen it up. It will help with turning the key in the lock. Has it been happening all year or just when it is cold?
by: Francisco 11/16/2023
just received it. installed it on the hitch but it fit a little tight and i had to tap it in in order to lock
by: Wade 10/22/2023
Nice added security, goes on and off smoothly. Had it a year now and it's weathering excellent.
by: Tommy 10/08/2023
Everything that I've ever ordered from etrailer has been top quality. Service has always been excellent. Shipping has been fast.
by: Russell 02/07/2024
It was just what I wanted and delivered in a timely manner.
by: Peter 02/19/2024
Appears to work fine
by: Robert D07/30/2023
This lock is a little too wide 4.50 on a 3.5 tongue . I,m going to install 2 pins 7/16” wide into the sides.
by: Randall 02/12/2024
It works very well thank you
by: Bill 05/04/2023
great addition, works great, easy to use, I have multiple trailers and it's great to be able to have them keyed alike. And the yellow color makes it easy to find, unlike black which disappear.
by: Ronald 02/03/2024
Nice product
Easy to install
by: Mike 06/03/2023
Heavy duty and has not rusted like other trailer locks will
by: David05/05/2023
This is an excellent coupler lock. I have tried several other similar locks and this on is the best yet. It is solidly built and will certainly deter theft.
by: James 04/28/2023
Does the job by acting as a good deterrent from a "drive by snatch and gab thief". A determined thief could eventually beat it off with a sledgehammer. The bold yellow color would ward a thief to another unprotected trailer.
by: Brady12/13/2021
Really satisfied with the trailer coupler lock.

- Recommended Coupler Lock for Curt Channel-Mount CouplerBased on the lip on the Curt Channel-Mount Coupler - Squeeze Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 15,000 lbs # C25328 you will be unable to use the # e98895. The # e87ZR might fit, but I would question how secure it is once again based on the lip on that coupler. Instead, I would recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-316. This is a universal lock that will secure over the top of the coupler and uses a bolt-blocked locking system to prevent...

However, you could combine any of the etrailer.com locks and they would all come keyed alike so long as you select that option on the product page. I have attached a list of these options for you below. The etrailer.com Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98895 or part # e98897 could be combined with multiple etrailer.com Trailer...
view full answer... - Can Lock Core for Older Gorilla Guard Coupler Lock Be ReplacedYou might be able to have a skilled locksmith remove and change out the lock core on your older Gorilla Guard trailer coupler lock, but for your application it might just be easier to replace the entire unit since the company that makes the keys (Horizon Global) was bought out earlier this year (2023) and there's no telling when or if they will have replacement parts available. If you do choose to replace the lock then I recommend the following: - 1-7/8" or 2" Coupler # e98897 - 2-5/16"...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Coupler Lock Replacement for a Steal Shield Coupler LockWe do have a wide variety of trailer coupler locks that can be keyed alike which you can find on the linked product page. Unfortunately Steal Shields went out of business so we do not have any options from them. Among the keyed alike coupler lock options is the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-318. This is one of our most popular coupler locks and is compatible with many trailer coupler styles, it can also be ordered keyed alike. Check...
view full answer... - Availability of etrailer e68ZRCoupler Lock Kit With Yellow Slip-On Coupler LockThe etrailer # e68ZR is only available with the coupler lock in the silver finish, but you can get the locks separately as # e98895, # e98880 and # e98883 and choose the 'keyed alike' option. This would provide you with the same kit, but with a yellow slip-on coupler lock.
view full answer... - Locks for Use with Titan Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler T4853100Yes, a coupler lock can be used on the Titan Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler # T4853100. If you want to secure the trailer when it is not hitched, you can use the etrailer.com Coupler Lock # e98894 or the similar # e98895. Both of these prevent someone from hitching to your coupler. If you prefer a coupler latch lock you can use # 2847DAT from Master Lock. This type of lock works with the trailer coupled or not.
view full answer... - Recommended Coupler Lock For A 4-1/2" Wide Flat Lip CouplerWe do have the etrailer coupler lock # e98895 which is made to fit a flat lip coupler up to 4-1/2" wide. This may be a very tight fit if you are right at 4-1/2". If you want to avoid any potential fitment issues, I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML377KA. The design allows this lock to fit virtually any coupler with a flat lip, regardless of width. As you can see from the picture below, the lock does not "surround" the entire coupler, so it will undoubtedly work for you....

- 2 Inch Trailer Coupler Locks that Can be Keyed Alike for a Fleet of TrailersWe have several coupler locks for 2 inch couplers that can be ordered keyed alike but the Gorilla Guard # 63228 is not one of them. I have included a link for you to the ones that can be ordered keyed alike. A lock such as # e98895 is similar to the Gorilla Guard. You would just select the keyed alike option, near the add to cart button on the product page, select the quantity and they will all be keyed the same.
view full answer... - Trailer Coupler Lock for a U-Haul 5x8 Enclosed TrailerThere isn't much information on what size coupler the U-Haul trailers use. However, they state they are compatible with 1-7/8" and 2" hitch balls. So, more than likely they use 2" couplers. The 2-5/16" Coupler Lock, part # e98895, will fit on them, but there will probably be quite a bit of play. I recommend going with the smaller version, part # e98897. This one is designed to fit both 1-7/8" and 2" couplers, so it will have a more snug fit around the U-Haul coupler. I've linked to a...
view full answer... - Compatibility Of etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock e98895 With Coupler Having Guide LipI took some measurements off the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock # e98895 that will help you to determine if this will fit your coupler. The maximum width of the coupler tongue channel is 4-1/2" wide, and 2-3/4" deep. The locking pin is 1-3/4" from the edge of the insert or 1" from the end of the coupler. The lip thickness must be under 5/16" to fit properly.

- Can the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock be Keyed AlikeI have a solution but unfortunately the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock part # ML389DAT can not be ordered with a specific key number. Instead the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip part # e98895 can be ordered keyed alike. It doesn't work on the 1 7/8" coupler, for that use the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98897. These are very nice quality locks that will keep your trailer secured. Check out the video I did on them that I have linked it for you.
view full answer... - How to Use the etrailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip CouplersI can absolutely explain how the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for your flat lip coupler works, and it is extremely simple. What happens is you will slide the lock over your flat lip coupler, and push the pin up - it won't take any strength at all, you can do it with a finger. With the pin up, just turn the key and you're done; it's locked to the coupler. When you want to remove it, turn the key in the opposite direction and the pin will come down. That's literally all there is to it!...

- Coupler Locks For 2-5/16" Trailer Coupler With a 4-1/2" Wide Flat Lip We have a few options for your coupler with a 4-1/2" lip. The etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock # e98895 is a good lock. From there we move up to the better Trimax Dual Purpose Coupler Lock # TMX67FR which uses a hardened steel construction. The AMPLock Trailer Coupler Lock # AMP74FR is our best lock as it uses a cast iron construction and a rotating-disc-tumbler lock to prevent picking.

view full answer... - Recommended Keyed Alike Coupler, Trigger Latch and Tool Box LocksI may have a solution for you, but there isn't a tool box lock that's going to be able to be keyed alike with all of the rest of the parts you're looking at. The best solution to key everything alike with a variety of locks is going to be a couple of different BOLT locks, since they key to your vehicle's engine key and would provide you with the solution that you're looking for. If you've got a Ford truck, you'd want to use the # BL7032496 for the trailer coupler lock, the # BL7025290...
view full answer... - Will the Master Lock Coupler Lock # ML389DAT Fit a 4 Wide Trailer CouplerWe do have some options for you but the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML389DAT that you referenced has a max coupler width of 3-1/4" so your coupler will be a little too big for it. For a coupler lock that can accommodate a 4" wide coupler you could use the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock - # DT25013KA or the etrailer.com Coupler Lock - # e98895. I have linked review videos for each lock so that you can get a good idea how they operate.

If this is the case then yes you can replace it and for that I recommend the Titan Brake Actuator part # T4822820. This actuator is an excellent option for your trailer. It has an electric lockout feature which will allow you to back the trailer up without hassle, adjustable channel to help level the trailer while in tow, and a...

Great product. I feel it’s a great deterrent for a would be thief. Bright color tells thief “not an easy target.”
