eZ-Latch Coupler

This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the contoured handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball. The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is also constructed of a durable composite material that's corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch - Black - 2" Ball - Bolt On - 10K - DM14793-81

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (518 Customer Reviews)

A-frame coupler is made of sturdy steel and has a durable black powder coat finish. eZ-Latch ensures fast, easy, secure hookup and disconnect. Top plate has a cutout for your 2-1/4" round jack. Bolt-on installation.

by:

Heavy duty for sure. Drilling 1/2” holes in 1/4” thick angle iron on the trailer required more than a hand drill, but other than that installation was simple. Removing the original coupler was a chore because it was welded on both top and bottom. I had to use a hacksaw (3 blades), 2 lb mallet, large crowbar, steel chisel, grinder. Fortunately I had all that, and I’m very pleased with the result.



by:

When my old coupler failed I was very happy to find a bolt on coupler this heavy as most are weld on for a trailer this heavy. I wish I would have changed the coupler years ago. I always had trouble with the old one. This one is so easy to latch and unlatch from my truck. It is great quality.



by:

Very nice hitch release lever. Easy to grab and lift to release. Easy to install.



by:

Easy installation and a major upgrade from the oem coupler!



by:

My old coupler was pretty used up and rated at only 5000 lbs for a 10,000 lb trailer so it had to go.
The new bolt-on 10,000 lb coupler is quality. I like the EZ latch because its smooth, self latching and easy. The job was about four hours including removing old coupler, welding some new channel in and drilling holes. New coupler looks good, works great, and trailer is safer.



by:

Great fit. Easy fix. Replaced my worn thin ball hitch. Grade 5 1/2" bolts with lockwashers.



by:

Coupler mechanism is finicky, you have to shake the trailer tongue to get it to lock. The pin hole is too small in diameter to accept a lock so you have to use a ball lock to lock the trailer. Also it’s plastic so if it sticks you have to be careful tapping on it. I wouldn’t by again and if it breaks I’ll go back to normal coupler.

The coupler mechanism is adjustable. Use the adjustment bolt on the underside of the latching mechanism to adjust until the coupler will self-latch when set atop the trailer ball.



by:

Received my order. Absolutely perfect. Super replacement for my trailer. It will be like new when installed. I am glad to have found your site. Can’t say enough about the quality.



by:

Just received the Trailer Coupler. Is very nice!! Heavy Duty! I placed it over the old coupler and it looks like it will work very well. I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

The trailer coupler has worked out perfectly. Handles everything that I haul.



by:

this was an effective solution to a bent trailer coupler and twisted frame. i did add
welds and a piece of channel to the frame before i bolted it down. 4 stars because i had to hunt around for a lock long enough to go thru the hole in the
front. definitely recommend if you have a difficult repair on a trailer coupler.



by:

I just received the coupler yesterday and it is very heavy duty and has a great finish on it. Customer service was incredible. They even expedited shipping even though I didn't ask or pay for it. Thanks etrailer!!

Fantastic. Good solid hitch. Great company to deal with. They care about their customers.



by:

Trailer coupling will not fit correctly on a 2" Ball...to tight and is always difficult to get on and off.

We have contacted the manufacturer and they suggest pulling forward so that trailer is not pushing against the truck. If the ball is being pushed into the latch mechanism if will be hard to unlatch. Pull forward before unhooking it on a level surface.



by:

Very solid hitch. Fast shipping. Fits well except your trailer channels need to nearly come to a point for the first set of holes to have anything to bolt to. Mine did not, so I am having it welded on as well. No paperwork or hardware with this package, but the video will answer most all questions.

Excellent - it’s stronger than the trailer. Weak point is the plastic lever. If I’m unhitching on an incline it won’t release. I would break it.



by:

I don’t really want to write a review, hope someone will really read this.the main reason I ordered a bolt on coupling is so I would not have to weld, but I’m gonna have to even add 2in.to my trailer to make all the holes match. I would have returned it but your return policy says I would have to pay shipping ugg!!. I’m already in for 140.00 bucks now I have to pay and end up with nothing but lost of money for nothing. I’m 74 years old and did not want to weld , that was my only reason for ordering your coupling .the thing had some scratches and marks on it like it had already been a return, don’t think it was done during shipping, although it was put in a fairly large box with flimsy paper packing, so I’m going to have to make it work,even have to weld and everything. Now I’m having to waste time writing all of this , and it’s not going to even make any difference anyway. I think y’all owe me some kind of discount for all my troubles I was trying to avoid anyway, but I’m sure that is not going to happen either. GOD BLESS THOMAS OLIVER

You mentioned that you needed to add 2 inches to your trailer to install the trailer and I wanted to see if you could explain in more detail what you mean. Would you be able to send pictures?



by:

Easy to install and like the easy latch. Have another trailer that came with this tongue on it, so when it came time to upgrade an older trailer, I chose this one. Very pleased



by:

Great company. Great service.



by:

Hitch works great the only thing holding me back from a five star rating is the plastic latch handle. The latch handle flex's a lot and feels like it would break if pulled hard. I have figured out that if you start to jack the trailer up and then it releases easily. I will defiantly buy this hitch again.



by:

Perfect fit, exactly what I was looking for. Great and fast shipping. Keep up the excellent work strainer.



by:

Good solid hitch, exactly as represented. Shipped promptly. Once I get the remnants of the old hitch cleaned off, it will be an easy, secure install.

It is working perfectly. Thanks for checking.

Bought this item to replace my old beat up trailer coupler.
This coupler looks great!
Had a problem with receiving this package originally in which the item was lost on delivery, but etrailer sent me a new item and received it very quickly. Very satisfied with this purchase



by:

It was easy to install great for bldg trailer from scratch or replacing trailer hitch couper.



by:

Easy install and very well built



by:

Very happy with this hitch.



by:

I needed a universal type a-frame coupler and this met all my expectations. Shipped fast. Price was a little expensive. Quality of product is very good. Happy that it just needs to be bolted on and not welded on. Ez latch seems perfect to have.



by:

Arrived on time. Fits perfectly on my t railer.

  • Can Demco A-Frame Coupler Replace Ram 5,000 lb A-Frame Coupler
    The great thing about a-frame couplers is that they basically all can fit and interchange with each other. You could easily remove the Ram 5000 jack you have on your trailer to replace it with the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81 that you referenced.

  • Where is the etrailer Coupler Item # CA-5196-B Made?
    The Sleeve-Lock A-Frame Trailer Coupler - Flip Latch - Black - 2" Ball - 7,000 lbs item # CA-5196-B is made by Pacific Boat Trailers out of Chino, California with parts coming from China. If you are looking for an American made A-frame Trailer Coupler I recommend the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch - Black - 2" Ball - Bolt On - 10K Item # DM14793-81. This has the same dimensions but a slightly higher capacity and is made in the USA.

  • Bolts for Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler
    The Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81 (Black) or # DM14793-52 (Silver) do not come with bolts. You will need to use 1/2" Grade 5 hex bolts with them. I've added links to video reviews of each coupler for you to check out.

  • Recommended Lock for Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler
    For the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81 you can use the etrailer # e98887. This will fit the pin hole on the coupler keeping it secure. Another option is the # e98893 which fits over the coupler and blocks the ball opening. You could also use both at the same time for added security. Since these are both etrailer locks, you can select the keyed alike option so they use the same key for your convenience.

    The Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM14793-81 and Demco Cast Head Coupler part # DM37ZR both install using the same three hole pattern spaced 3" apart on center so you should be able to switch between them pretty easily.

  • Recommended Replacement Coupler For An Atwood 2" Coupler
    I went ahead and checked, and unfortunately there is not a coupler repair kit for your 2" Atwood coupler. With that being said, the best solution is going to be a full coupler replacement. I recommend checking out the: -Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch # DM14793-81. This coupler is made for 2" hitch balls, has a maximum capacity of 10,000-lbs, and has a bolt-on installation. Attached is a product overview video for you to check out as well.

  • Mounting Hole Spacing on Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler DM14793-81
    I went to our warehouse and measured the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81 to get you the dimensions you need. From the UNDERSIDE of the top plate, the part of the coupler that will actually contact the top of the A-frame, the hole centers are down 1-1/2-inches. If measured from the TOPSIDE of the coupler top plate the distance down to the hole centers is then 1-3/4-inches. The side to side hole spacing is 3-inches on-center on each side of the coupler. Each of these dimensions...

  • Is It Safe to Switch Trailer Hitch Ball Size to Fit Damaged Coupler
    I'm sorry to hear about the damage that occurred to your trailer, but it is not safe to change out the size of the hitch ball to accommodate a damaged coupler, which, from your description, is what it sounds like you have. That is especially true considering you say you have a "very heavy duty" trailer, because smaller 1-7/8" hitch balls have lesser, under-5k capacities. The best option is going to be to replace your damaged coupler with a new one that will allow you to properly - and...

  • Adding Different Bolt-On A-Frame Trailer Coupler to Rusted Trailer in the Woods
    Well, that is a coupler, though it is in bad shape. It is a bottom mount or underslung coupler like # CA-5335-B. You can check the ball cavity to see if it is in working order but all that corrosion makes me think that using its coupler is not going to work. In order to use a regular coupler you will likely have to cut off that bottom mount coupler so a new coupler will be able to be lowered on the ball. The jack will also have to come out to be able to install a new coupler. As long...

    First you will need the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-47-48 to replace your hydraulic assemblies. We have the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-173-16UC3 to get you a 4 on 4 mounting pattern.

    Yes, the primed finish means you can paint over the red Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler with Jack Hole # DM14793-97. This coupler, as well as the black # DM14793-81 are A-frame couplers with a 10,000 lb capacity and attach to a 2" hitch ball. If you need a lock as well the best option is the etrailer Adjustable Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # e98883. I've added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.

There are both bolt-on and weld-on options available. - Bolt-On: Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler with Jack Hole - eZ-Latch # DM14793-81 - Weld-On: A-Frame Trailer Coupler - Yoke Latch # CA-5210-B I have added links below to some video reviews to check...

Other than how they are made, the Demco Cast Head Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch - 2" Ball - A-Frame - Bolt-On - 10K # DM37ZR and the # DM14793-81 have the same ratings and will work the same. There is no pro or con to either, so I recommend going with the one that is the most cost effective at the time. I included videos of the # DM14793-81 for you to take a look at.

  • Recommended Ball and Coupler Size to Haul a 3,500 Racecar
    For a trailer that is going to be hauling 3,500 lbs, I would recommend a 2" ball and coupler. We have many different options to choose from for both. For the ball and ball mount we have the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches # 989900. This kit is nice because it comes with a 2", 2 5/16", and 2 ball mounts. The trailer coupler is going to be a little bit more specific to what shape your trailer tongue is. Straight and A-frame couplers are our most popular trailer couplers. I recommend...

  • Is There A Repair Kit For The Trailer Coupler Latch on a Fulton 2" Ball Coupler?
    Fulton does not carry a repair kit for your 2" ball coupler. I recommend replacing your coupler with one easier to use like the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81. This coupler can be bolted on and if the coupler latch wears our it can be replaced with the Repair Kit # DM6109. With this eZ-Latch system you only need to raise the handle to disconnect the trailer. This makes it much easier to just drop the trailer onto the ball and not add additional stress to the parts.
