Expert Answers about Gooseneck Trailer Locks


  • How Does Gooseneck Trailer Lock, # BLTL-50-40D, Attach to a Gooseneck Coupler
  • Basically, the Gooseneck Trailer Lock, # BLTL-50-40D, sandwiches around the bottom of the gooseneck coupler on the trailer. The two hooks that look like duck heads go over the lip on one side and then you hold it up flat against the bottom of the coupler, and then you insert the pin that will be over the lip on the other side of the coupler.

  • Could Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock Fit Gooseneck Coupler
  • While the 2-5/16 inch ball of the # C48CR would fit into a gooseneck coupler the pin portion would not have a place to insert to lock it. You'd want a gooseneck coupler lock like the EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock part # BLTL-53-40D2 which fits most couplers like Bulldog, Stallion, Superior, and T.E.M.

  • How Does the B and W Defender Gooseneck Hitch Install on a Trailer
  • As long as you have an outer tube installed on your gooseneck trailer that is designed to fit an inner tube with a 4 inch diameter the # BWGNC4250 would install pretty easily on your trailer. If not, then you would want the # BWGNC4251 instead as this comes with the outer tube that would get welded to your trailer by a qualified welder. If you didn't want any adjustability with your gooseneck coupler you could always weld the # BWGNC4250 directly to your trailer. Also, the claim that...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for a Curt Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Hitch
  • I have a solution for you but since you have the Curt Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Hitch item # C607-661 installed you can't add the Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit item # C16420-204. Instead you will need the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches item # C16210. This adapter will drop right down into your Double Lock's gooseneck receiver and provide you with a set of industry standard base rails. This adapter is made in the USA, has...

  • Removing Reese Elite Series Above Bed Gooseneck Hitch from Truck Bed After Use
  • If you are speaking of the Reese Elite Series Above Bed Gooseneck part # RP30845, removal is pretty simple. Remove the locking pin from the anchor handle on each side of the gooseneck hitch. Then, rotate each locking handle to its unlocked position, which would be perpendicular to the hitch itself. Lift one end of the hitch out of the mounts, and then repeat for the other side. Sometimes the locking handles will need to be jiggled a bit to align the anchors with the opening in the mounting...

  • How to Release the Gooseneck Ball on a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  • If you have a Fold Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch like # 8339, that you have referenced, all you have to do is pull on the ring and the ball will fold out. But there are other types of gooseneck hitches that hide the ball in the bed. Some require a handle that exits from under the bed into the driver side wheel well, like # 9460. For this type, you would pull the handle out to release the locking pin, turn the ball over, and push the handle back in to lock it in place. If you can determine...

  • What Size is the Locking Pin on the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel-Gooseneck Pin Box
  • The diameter of the lock pin on the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel-Gooseneck Pin Box part # 325-GH-8045 is 1/2" but it will also need to be more than 3-1/4" long, I recommend the Tow Ready Pin part # TR63254. There is actually a lock designed for this coupler when not in use as well, the Gen-Y Manual Latch Gooseneck Coupler Lock part # GY89FR.

  • Removing the Hi-Rise 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch 9480 from a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  • On the Hi-Rise hitch # 9480: "Before towing the 5/8 hex nuts connecting the Post Assembly to the Base Assembly should be torqued to a minimum of 120 ft-lbs. The handle/locking Pin of the gooseneck hitch should not be able to be released when tightened." So based on this (from the manual I have linked for you below) you would have to loosen the nut for the post to be able to release the gooseneck pin holding the hitch in.

  • Blalock EZ Lock that Could Fit B-B Gooseneck Trailer
  • I don't have a way to determine what coupler your trailer has which is needed to determine what Blaylock gooseneck coupler lock fits but we have a few options. If you have a Bulldog, Stallion, Superior, T.E.M. you'd want the part # BLTL-50-40D, or if you have the RAM coupler you'd need the part # BLTL-55-40D. If you have something different let me know and I'll let you know what the best option would be.

  • Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Trailer Adapter Installation and Ride Quality for 2002 Chevrolet Silverado
  • The Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Adapter, item # CAB-C5G, can bolt to the fifth wheel plate. There is a collar that is secured to the king pin and then locked into the adapter, but to bolt it on you would then have to drill the king pin plate and install 4 bolts, 4 washers and 4 nylon lock nuts. This model though does not have to be bolted on. The fifth wheel adapters work for pulling your fifth wheel trailer but usually do not provide the ride quality and comfort that a fifth...

  • Does the Ball Lock Into Place when Upside Down in Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  • I called and spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite to confirm. When turned upside down in the Draw-Tite gooseneck trailer hitch, # 9465-34, the ball simply rests inside of the cavity, the handle does not lock it into place. The hitch does come with a magnetic cover, see picture, to cover the hole so it is not exposed. I have also included some instruction links for you.

  • Should there be 1 Inch of Play After Installing the Curt X5 Adapter
  • First, make sure that when using the Curt X5 adapter, # C16220, that you are putting it into a compatible Curt Gooseneck trailer hitch (Curt EZr double-lock gooseneck hitches). It is not designed to be used with any other hitch. If the locking pins are positioned properly and you get an inch of vertical movement then something is wrong and you would not want to use the adapter until the problem is fixed. One inch is way too much movement. The X5 adapter should only move vertically about...

  • How does the B&W Gooseneck Ball Secure Inside the Ford Towing Prep Package?
  • I would be happy to help explain how the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNXA2061 works in your 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty. The ball locks into place once the handle is folded down. The handle locks in the horizontal position to prevent accidental unlatching. This engages the built-in-ball-bearing system that holds the ball in place inside the receiver. I have attached a video and around the 45 second mark you'll see...

  • Lock Solution for Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler
  • The BX1 series of gooseneck couplers can be locked with a padlock like the part # 141T. When the BX1 couplers are in the coupled position, you can place a padlock through the hole as indicated in the picture. The coupler could then not be opened with or without a trailer connected.

  • What Keeps Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter DM6194 In Place when Towing
  • The four posts on the bottom of Demco adapter # DM6194 do just sit in the pucks. The gooseneck attachment, which uses ball bearings to secure into the gooseneck ball cavity, is what keeps the adapter in place. The pin weight of the trailer will keep the adapter held down as well. While there may be some vertical movement as there is with any hitch it would not be enough for a sudden and rapid shift of weight to bend the adapter. I have linked a review video and the instructions for you...
