Hey, everybody. Welcome to "etrailer.com" I'm Bobby. Today we're taking a look at the "Gen-Y Manual Latch Gooseneck Coupler Lock" here at "etrailer.com". Let's go ahead, start getting into it. So our coupler lock here is gonna be a pretty hefty piece of machinery as you guys can see. Basically, all that's gonna be happening, you guys can see this well, in this lid here, or this top plate, that's basically inserting right here in your coupler just like so.
And I will say, once you kinda get in position, it hangs right there. And that's really nice, cause it just simply goes on there. This is gonna prevent people from actually attacking here. Getting inside here, you see there's no space to work with. But how do we secure it, right Well, we actually have a hitch lock pin here from "InfiniteRule" that comes with it.
Basically, what we need to do, move our way down to the inside here. Do you guys wanna come to front, might be little easier to see. So we actually have our alignment right here. And all we have to do is simply walk this up, guys, and actually insert my pen. To do that, we are gonna need to walk out our walking core here.
To do that, we just take our included key, and go lefty loosey, and start on threading our hitch lock here. That's gonna allow us to take this guy. I'm gonna simply just put it right here in the front, and go ahead and show us what exactly we're looking for. So yeah, we just insert it there, walk it forward. And now, you just start threading this back on, righty tighty action just like that.
Now once you reach the very end of here, not going to be able to remove it right away. Just need to back off this pen just a little bit. You guys can see where it lines there, and there we are nice and secured already. This does a great job. As you guys can see, it has a little bit of movement here. It can actually kind of bind itself if somebody is moving too much as you guys can see. But yeah, nobody's actually gonna be able move with this, which is great. And it's going to have a really really great hold there, under coupler. Nobody's going to be able to access this unless they can actually get this pin out. Now, the hitch lock that's actually in here by "InfiniteRule". I really like these, guys. I've started using them a little bit more often recently here at the shop, which is great. They work really well. "InfiniteRule" has a lot of custom designs out there too. And just all the locks seem to be really high quality to me. This is going to make it to where, nobody can actually access this latch, and actually get it undone, which is great. I really like the dust cap on there, too, to prevent those internal mechanisms. And I like that it's tethered. And it's also, like, really high quality, sometimes the rubber they throw on these things, really sucks. And that's nice to see that that's actually going to be lasting us for a while, making sure nobody can mess with that. So the outer house on this guy is also made of a sturdy steel construction. It has a nice zinc base on it to go ahead and coat it, make sure it's a little resistant, and a powder coat to finish it off. That's going to make sure that it is going to be resistant over the years to come, which is great. Of course, you got a lot of mechanisms up here. We're already seeing a little bit of rust on our coupler up here, actually. So we don't want that spreading. And that corrosion is definitely going to be fought against, by that powder coat. Now, with any powder coat, it's going to be up to us to treat it nicely. If you start really kind of running in this thing for some reason, nicking it up, it might start kind of wearing and tearing. However, it's going to do a great job of holding up, for the years to come. Overall, I think it's going to do a great job preventing anybody from actually hooking up to a trailer, and taking it away. I like that it's a sturdy steel construction with that nice powder coat. Going to be resisting the weather for a while, and it's made in the USA, which is always a nice little touch to it. Overall, guys, I think it's going to be a great little system to go ahead and give us that nice security measure. Well, guys, I think that about does it for our look at the "Gen-Y Manual Latch Gooseneck Coupler Lock" here at "etrailer.com". I'm Bobby. Thank you for watching..

Big and bulky which in this case is a good thing. It’s easy to install and remove. The locking pin has a good rating but I would like to see the lock pin have a more complex key with anti lock picking features like my previous 5th wheel lock had. But I can always replace the pin with something stronger.
Super nice product that should ensure my gooseneck trailer doesn't stolen! I had to do some minor modifications to get it to fit on my BW Defender gooseneck coupler!
The lock fits perfect on my Gen Y Goose Neck
thanks
Easy to install. Would like a better lock cylinder.
Outstanding customer service!
Awesome product. Only thing on the market that will fit my trailer gooseneck hitch correctly. Well made product all around
Always get orders fast
Works great on my Popup towing products by Young's Welding Inc. Plus it should fit many others as well. My only complaint is that it only comes with 1 key.
This is overbuilt, which is what you want in security. I think it will last forever
Coupler showed up with out the lock. Lock is supposedly being sent after contacting them.
Very well built with the exceptional fit and finish you get from Gen-Y. The lock shroud appears to be designed in such a way that it will prevent anyone from getting a large tool or sledgehammer in position to knock off the pin lock.
I like the product. It fits my Pop Up RV auto latch coupler (I tried others that didn't fit). The issue I have is that it comes with a 5/8" locking pin, the directions say that it will take any standard 5/8" hitch pin, but all of the holes are too small. I don't have a set of calipers with me, but my 1/2" hitch pin barely fits through the holes (any of the holes). I had this dropped shipped to a stop on my trip, so for now I have purchased a separate 1/2" locking pin so that I can keep my trailer safe. Once I return home I will drill out all of the holes to 5/8" to fit the supplied locking pin.
This is still a really great product, and I would recommend to anyone!
Looks to be in good shape as the box was pretty messed up.
I have several gooseneck trailers and locks. I always use this one for my most expensive trailers. It is definitely the most secure and probably discourages theft attempts just by it's appearance. Would be hard to beat.
Strong lock. Fits different goosenecks. I have 22 Lakota and it fits great.
Looks great,,, excellent quality,,,,waiting for my gen y gooseneck be installed to use this lock
First time ordering from etrailer. The communication and updates through the order and shipment process was unexpectedly exceptional. Will be ordering much more from here going forward.
I had to severely modify this to fit my old gooseneck, but it works great! Solid build and good design!
etrailer service and delivery speed is top notch as always. The product seems to do what it claims, time will tell.
Works great, very secure and easy to use. Worth every cent
fits well and very secure
This is a great product. Easy to use and has worked well.
