Expert Answers about Chevrolet Wheel Locks

• Can Wheel Lock Prevent Vehicle From Being Towed and Can It Fit Mitsubishi Gallant and Small Trailer
• Depending on which wheel The Wheel Club - Tire and Wheel Lock, part # W1490, is mounted to will determine if a car can be towed. If the vehicle's non-drive wheels or wheels that are not powered by transmission are locked then this would prevent the vehicle from being towed. For example on a front wheel drive car, like your Mitsubishi Galant, if you were to put the wheel lock on the rear wheels, this would prevent the car from being towed by a traditional tow truck that tows the vehicle...

• Can Trailer Wheel Locks be Easily Defeated
• I can pass along your lock concerns to the manufacturers. Any lock can be defeated given enough time and persistence. A wheel lock such as # RA-25 is a deterrent, as all locks are. If a thief wants that trailer bad enough, they'll find a way. Thieves have a tendency to pick the low-hanging fruit; that is to say that the mere presence of a lock is likely to cause a would-be thief to move on to an easier target. Things that take time like removing a tire from a trailer are not worth the...

• Replacement Wheel Lock Recommendation for Fulton Trailer Keeper Wheel Lock
• The Fulton Trailer Keeper Wheel Lock for Wheels up to 15" FTK1000100 was discontinued a number of years ago and while I do have a way for you to continue to have a lock on your trailer wheel, there aren't any replacement parts left for this Fulton lock so we need to look at a new lock system. I recommend checking out the Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 which has 2 different jaw sizes so it's compatible with 12" - 20" wheels and it comes with a lock that uses a barrel-style key...

• Are There Keyed Alike Wheel Locks For Tandem Axle Trailer
• Yes, there are wheel locks that are available for a tandem axle trailer that you can have keyed alike. They aren't lug nut locks like the but instead standard locks that clamp around your tire and wheel to secure them, and you can get multiple locks with the same key by choosing the "Keyed Alike" option on the drop-down page. These will work so long as your trailer has wheels that are between 12" and 20", which most do: - Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock - Steel - 12" - 20" Wheels #...

• Can the Wheel Be Removed with the Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock Part # RA-25 Installed
• Yes, the wheel can still be removed with the Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock part # RA-25 installed. In order to prevent the wheel from being removed you would also want to use a locking lug nut like part # RG01-150 which works with 1/2" diameter lug studs. The locking lug nut will require a special tool to be used to remove the wheel. The tool is included with the lug nuts. I have attached a review video of each lock for you as well.

• Will The Rackem Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 Prevent Wheel From Turning
• It would be very hard for someone to move the trailer with the Rack'em Magnum Wheel Lock, part # RA-25, attached to your wheel. When the unit is locked the prongs will not move, but the prongs are designed to go through the wheel hole. The tire would have to drive over the lock unit each time the wheel rotated for the wheel to turn. With opportunity and time a determined thief will normally get the item they are after. Using the wheel lock will help deter theft and make your trailer harder...

• Wheel Lock for Keystone RV 5th Wheel
• The Redline Wheel Lock Set, # RG01-150, is only made for ½ inch wheel bolts. For bolts of a different size, you'll need a lock like The Wheel Club Tire and Wheel Lock, # WI490, which fits over your tire rather than over your lug nuts. This model fits wheels from 13 to 16 inches and tires up to 28 inches in diameter, 9 inches in width. If you have wheels/tires of a different size, let me know what size you have and I'll be happy to recommend something else. I'm also attaching a link to...

• Lug Nut For 17-1/2 Inch Trailer Wheel & Lock
• Trailer wheels that are 17-1/2 inches wide commonly use 9/16" lug nuts, and we do have those, but not locking lug nuts of that size; the best option is to get the lug nuts that fit and utilize a wheel lock. For the lug nuts you can use either of the following: - Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 9/16"-18 - Stainless Steel # LHLR110 - Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 9/16" Diameter - Zinc Plated # 6-53 Then for a wheel lock that will fit that size wheel, I recommend a Rack'em lock: - Rack'em...

• Will Rackem Wheel Lock # RA-25 Fit Two Wheels At The Same Time On A Tandem Trailer
• I pulled a Rack'em Magnum Wheel Lock, part # RA-25 from our warehouse and tried it out on a couple of tandem trailers we have here. I tried to attach the lock to a tandem trailer with 14 inch tires on it. It is designed to really be used on one wheel at a time. The distance between the tires was almost 7 inches and the lock was unable to clamp to both wheels at the same time. I have attached a photo of the lock system that shows the width of the bar that separates the locking arms. Note...

• Availability of a Wheel Lock For Triple Axle Trailer Using 5/8" Wheel Studs
• The only type of wheel locks we will have compatible with your 5/8" studs are the Trimax # TMX65FR or # TMX42ZR. We do not have any wheel locks in the 5/8" size like the 1/2" # RG01-150 you found. And when searching online I was unable to find any similar style wheel locks in this size either. While it wouldn't make since to get one of these locks for all 6 of your wheels you could put a lock on each side and use a chain to run through all the wheels to connect them together.

• Recommendation for Keyed Alike Trailer Tire Wheel Lock
• We offer two wheel locks that are able to be keyed alike, the Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 and the Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock # WI491KA-491LNP. Between the two of these, I personally favor the Rack'em Lock'em Wheel Lock # RA-25. There are replacement keys available for the Lock'em in case you need any extras or lose a key. The Claw XL does not offer replacement keys. The Lock'em is also more economically friendly.

• Wheel Stud Lock Recommendation for Personal Watercraft Trailer
• For your personal water craft trailer, it is highly likely that your wheel studs are 1/2 inch. The thread coarse isn't much of a concern for the wheel studs, as the thread coarse is usually standard. To lock the wheels on your pwc, I recommend the Redline Wheel Lock Set for 1/2 Inch Wheel Bolts # RG01-150. These chrome wheel locks will lock both wheels on a single axle. I have attached a review video of this lock set for you.

• Why Rotate Steering Wheel Before Installing the Master Lock Vehicle Steering Wheel Lock 252DAT
• The purpose of rotating your steering wheel when installing Master Lock Advanced Security Quad Hook Vehicle Steering Wheel Lock # 252DAT is to engage the lock that is built-in to the steering column. Once that is done you'll install the Master Lock. The installed quad-hook lock prevents rotation of the wheel in the event that the built-in lock was defeated and this is the security mechanism that prevents a thief from driving the vehicle.

• Recommendation for a 2-5/16 Inch Trailer Hitch Coupler Lock
• The highest rated and most popular 2-5/16 inch trailer coupler lock we carry is the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock, # FA86-0015-316. This lock actually will fit 1-7/8, 2, and 2-5/16 inch couplers. It features a pick-resistant lock cylinder and dual-action, bolt-blocked locking system that locks both arms instead of just one.

• Recommended Keyed Alike Wheel Lock
• I have a solution for you but the etrailer Wheel Lock item # 288-02020 is not able to be keyed alike. Instead you will want the Blaylock EZ Trailer Wheel Lock item # BLEZ-302. This wheel lock is made of aluminum and fits 15" to 20" wheels. This wheel lock is also made in America. You will want to select keyed alike in the drop down above the add to cart option. You will need to purchase all of the locks you want keyed alike at the same time.

• Wheel Lock for an E-Z-Go Golf Cart
• The Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 will fit wheels that are between 12"-20". This is a heavy-duty lock that deters theft by temporarily disabling 1 wheel. It has rubber coated arms that protect your wheels from scrapes and scratches. If the wheels on your E-Z-Go Golf cart do not fit in the 12"-20" size frame and you can tell me what size wheels that you have, I would be happy to find a compatible locking system for you.

• Using a Wheel Lock on a 5th Wheel Trailer with a Goose Box Adapter Installed
• A wheel lock in this case would be something like the Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock # WI491KA-491LNP or, even better, Super Grip Chock Wheel Stabilizers # UF21-001091 (which includes padlocks). The Super Grip option will also help prevent front to back rocking of the trailer. I have linked video reviews of both of these products for you.
