Any type of lock you put on your trailer will be a theft deterrent. I recommend using the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock, part # FA86-0015-316, because it can mount on 1-7/8, 2 and 2-5/16 inch couplers and it fits on a wide variety of coupler types. The Diversi-Tech lock will be harder and noisier to break off than the Master Lock coupler lock which is a better deterrent for thieves.
Wheel locks are also a secure option, but can be tedious to apply and still gives thieves a chance to... view full answer...
Sure thing!

The etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock - Flat Lip 1-7/8" and 2" Ball Couplers - Aluminum - Yellow # e98897 and the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip 1-7/8" and 2" Ball Couplers - Aluminum - Silver # e98893 is the exact same part, the only difference is what color they are powder coated. view full answer...
The 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...
The main difference between our etrailer.com Coupler Lock, item # e98890, and the Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock - Stainless Steel, item # 2847DAT, is the style of the locks.
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.
The Deadbolt has a short span, 7/8 inches, so it can be flush to prevent removal. This style is more compact than the stick and block... view full answer...
The Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock is offered with many part numbers, for instance # FA86-0015-316, # FA86-0015-318, or # FA86-0015-313. Each part number includes keys that correspond the the last 3 digits of the part number. You could order ten locks with part number # FA86-0015-318 and all ten would include the same keys number 318.
These locks are universal fits for the majority of 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" ball couplers to protect your trailer.

The eZ latch of the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole and Anchors, eZ-Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 21K # DM16680-52 is absolutely just as safe as a slide lock coupler.
It doesn't use a pin but still exceeds the SAE J684 safety standards, which are tests for strength and stability attachment so you can absolutely be confident in this coupler and how secure and safe you will be while towing.

I walked out to our warehouse and pulled the Tow Ready Trailer Coupler Lock. The locking bar measures approximately a 1/2 inch in diameter. The representative at Tow Ready informed me that the lock is made of 1407 steel.
I then contacted our representative at Fastway about the Universal Trailer Coupler Lock, part # FA86-0015-316. He informed me that this locking bar has a diameter of 5/8 inch hardened steel. He informed me that this is the biggest and strongest lock on the market and is... view full answer...
I like the compatibility of the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler item # AR44FR over the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # 336TS528. The Ark is compatible with any vehicle utilizing a standard 2" ball. The maximum capacity of the Ark 5,000 lbs is lower than the Lock N Roll 6,000 lbs but it still meets your weight capacity needs. Both require modification of your trailer for use. You will need the Buyers Products Black Receiver Tube item # 337RT25806B to mount... view full answer...
The Fastway Trailer Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-318 and the other Fastway coupler locks such as # FA86-0015-310 are exactly the same lock.
The only difference is that # FA86-0015-318 has key numbers 318, whereas # FA86-0015-310 mentioned above, will only work with key number 310.

Your assumption about the Titan versus the Atwood coupler is correct. When the tow vehicle comes to a stop, the front of the coupler portion will swivel downward which compresses the actuator. The Titan simply slides directly rearward, with no pivot involved. Although either coupler would serve you well, I prefer the simpler Titan design.
The Titan actuator you referenced, part # T43397007K would be ideal for you if your trailer uses drum brakes. Your brake assemblies will not be needed... view full answer...
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 only difference between the couplers is the key number they come with; otherwise they are exactly the same.

The Fastway Universal Coupler Locks # FA86-0015-316 is a great choice for you and it can be ordered with multiple keys the same. The Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-316 will use a # 316 key. If you already have one of these locks that has that key code then your locks will match. view full answer...
The only difference between the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers - Key 303 # FA86-0015-303 and the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers - Key 316 # FA86-0015-316 is the cut of the key. The # FA86-0015-303 comes with a lock compatible with Fastway key 303 while the # FA86-0015-316 comes with a lock compatible with Fastway key 316. Other than this difference, these coupler locks are exactly the same. view full answer...
What a lockout on a hydraulic brake coupler does is prevent the brakes from applying when you back the trailer. An electric lock out is tied into the reverse lamp circuit on the vehicle so that when the vehicle is shifted into reverse the solenoid in the coupler is activated which prevents the trailer brakes from applying. If your boat trailer had free-backing brakes, you won't need a lockout because after being pushed a foot or so the brake assemblies disengage.
For a 7500 lb hydraulic... view full answer...
Although we don't carry the AMPLOCK U-TLS2516I, from what I could find it does look exactly the same as the Atwood AMPlock Underslung Coupler Lock # AT89006.
The AMPlock Underslung Coupler Lock is compatible with 2-5/16" couplers that are no wider than 4-5/8" (including the lip), and have a lip no thicker than 2-1/2" (see attached photo). You can use this to determine if it is the correct fit for your application.
It also has a cast iron body and comes with a 2-year warranty. I have also... view full answer...
The main difference between the Master Lock Hitch Receiver and Coupler Latch Lock Set part # 1481DAT and part # 2848DAT is that the former is for 2" hitches and the latter is for 1-1/4" and 2" since it comes with both pin sizes (1/2" and 5/8". The locks are both very similar, I wouldn't say one is more secure than the other. view full answer...
A trailer actuator-coupler with an electric reverse lockout feature, such as Titan # T4750820, allows you to reverse your trailer without having to get out of the vehicle to first engage a manual lockout lever. The internal solenoid in the actuator takes care of this automatically when you shift the vehicle into reverse; that reverse light signal is the trigger that tells the actuator to block the flow of fluid through the brake lines. Blocking the flow of brake fluid allows reversing the... view full answer...
When comparing the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class IV, part # 41929, to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class IV, part # 14361, they are similar, but the new version of the Draw-Tite # 41929 is rated higher. The Draw-Tite Class IV Hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 1,200 pounds and towing capacity of 12,000 pounds. The Curt Class IV Hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 pounds, and towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. Both part # 41929, and part # 14361 have... view full answer...
