  • Keyed Alike 2 Receiver Hitch Locks and a Trailer Couple Lock
  • As long as the locks are from the same manufacturer and listed as being able to be keyed alike, we can accommodate your request. With the locks you are interested in, I would like to suggest one lock set hitch and coupler lock set, part # e99039, that includes a hitch lock and coupler lock, and then purchasing one extra hitch lock, part # e98880. You may save a couple dollars this way.

  • Does The Dutton-Lainson Trailer Coupler # DL13728 Come With a Coupler Pin and Chain?
  • We have the Dutton-Lainson Coupler Repair Kit # DL13968 that includes the chain and pin that will fit the Dutton-Lainson Trailer Coupler # DL13728. You can remove the chain and pin while holding onto the other parts in the event you need to replace the coupler latch. Personally I am not a big fan of that type of pin as it can fall out as it wears down over time. I recommend the Master Lock Hitch Receiver and Coupler Latch Lock Set # 2848DAT as it allows you to secure your trailer to your...

  • How Can I Get Three Different Locks Types Keyed Alike?
  • In order to complete this process correctly, you will need to place all of the different locks on the same order. They need to be products with the same brand or manufacturer. Under each individual product, choose the "keyed alike" option before adding the product to your cart, all the products in your completed "cart" will be locked and unlocked with the same key. For example, if we use all etrailer products such as the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock # e98888 and etrailer Trailer Hitch...

  • Can Fastway Universal Coupler Locks Be Keyed the Same
  • I confirmed with Fastway that yes, if you order multiple of these coupler locks with the same key code, they will be keyed the same. For example the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-306 uses Key 306 while the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-312 uses Key 312. As long as your ordering multiple coupler locks using the same numbered key you will be fine. I have have also included a review video for additional information on the coupler lock.

  • 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...

  • Master Lock That Is Keyed Alike To Match Existing Key
  • The 7/8" Wide Trailer Coupler Latch Lock by Master Lock Item # 2878DAT is not a keyed alike lock. You would have to purchase four locks that can be keyed alike. I recommend the Master Lock Shrouded Padlock Item # 37DAT. You can key as many as you want, alike.

  • Does the Titan Trailer Coupler Have a Reverse Lockout
  • It sounds like you are asking if the Titan Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Brake Actuator # T43397007K does not have a lockout that will allow the trailer to be reversed without the brakes being applied. However, you can easily add one if desired. If you have a coupler without the reverse lockout included, then you would want to either run "free-backing" brake assemblies or install an electric lock out solenoid like the Titan Part # T4748800 so that you can reverse your trailer with out brakes...

  • Does the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler BD0289340317 Come with Release Cable
  • The cable to operate the release on the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler part # BD0289340317 is not included because it is not needed. It is only for convenience as you can still operate the coupler lock with just the handle. If you do want to add a cable then you would need to use the one off your old coupler or modify something to work for you as we do not carry these.

  • A-Frame Trailer Coupler that Can be Bolted Onto a Trailer
  • Bulldog A-frame trailer coupler # BD43805W0317 does not have holes on the side because it is a weld-on coupler. Coupler # BD44150WH301 can be bolted on but it is for a 2-5/16 inch ball, not a 2 inch ball like # BD43805W0317. All of the other A-frame couplers we have are weld-on applications. If you go with a weld-on coupler the welding will need to be performed by a qualified professional welder.

  • Does a Ball Mount and Hitch Pin Come with Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75338, 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • For Class III trailer hitches like the Draw-Tite, # 75338, the ball mount, pin and clips is not included because a Class III hitch does not require a specific ball mount. Lower Class hitches do require a specific ball mount so for many of them we will include it. There is always a recommended ball mount for a Class III hitch but in order to determine the right one for your needs you will want to measure for the rise or drop required to tow the trailer level. What you will do is measure...

  • Does the Bulldog Cast Head Trailer Coupler BD4420000317 Come with Mounting Hardware
  • For the Bulldog trailer coupler # BD4420000317 you will need to use your own hardware. The bolt holes on the coupler are 5/8 inches in diameter. You will want to use grade 5 or higher quality bolts. The coupler could be welded on, however because this is a cast coupler and welding cast is difficult, it would have to be done by a qualified professional welder with experience in cast welding along with special electrodes to complete a weld installation.

  • Trailer Coupler Snapper Pin Recommendation with Lanyard to Secure to Trailer
  • The JR Products 1/4" Diameter Coupler Pin # 37201271 is a pretty basic snapper pin that doesn't come with a way to secure it to your trailer when it's removed from the coupler. For an alternative that stays secured to your trailer I recommend the Coupler Pin w/ Chain # 37201171 which has the same 1/4" and a smaller 1-3/8" length, but if you're using this for a standard latch then the shorter length won't be an issue at all.

  • Are There Instructions Included with Trailer Coupler Mounting
  • There are not any instructions included with the Trailer Coupler 1-7/8 inch Ball 2 inch Channel Tongue 2,000 lbs, part # E112000340. That is because there are two ways it can be mounted. It can be either bolted or welded on, it is up to the trailer owner how he prefers to mount the coupler.
