The small end would not reach the holes in my wheel. The large end would not close tight enough. The lock would just hang loose on the wheel. I then put one half of the long end in the wheel hole and the other around the spring, then lock tightened and worked as designed.



by:

I have four expensive trailers, so I purchased two of these in January and two more in February. I had all four keyed alike. Now I only need to carry one key to unlock any of the four wheel locks. That is so convenient! I'm very impressed with the quality and how easy they are to use. They only take seconds to install or remove. (Unless you're a thief, then just "Fuhgeddaboudit")

Trailer Wheel Lock

DO NOT PURCHASE
this wheel lock. The construction of this product is made from inexpensive steel that can be cut off in matter of minutes using a standard battery operated reciprocating saw. We purchased this product and then our trailer was stolen 3 days later. The culprit DID NOT have to worry about a lock because he simply just cut off the one arm of the unit. We lost a $10,000 trailer in a matter of minutes. Save your money, don't shop on this site for trailer locks. Rather, call an insurance broker, get insurance and then park it in a gated storage lot. I really wish I would have. See images attached.



by:

Really am pleased with this item. Easy to install, the forks sit snug to wheel. I pulled on trailer after installing. I feel a thief will move on to a easier target. Thanks.



by:

I'm using this on a utility trailer but can find many more uses for it. Having the ability to use it on so many different wheel/tire sizes in one package is a major plus. Built tough to with stand many years of use. I originally had my hitch locked with a padlock, but still had concerns of theft. With the Magnum wheel lock, those concerns are now gone.



by:

Just received Lock'em wheel lock and immediately put on boat trailer. I have had theft on my boat several times and was told by cops a lot of trailers are stolen here in Crimellas County Florida while out fishing. Would hate to come back to boat ramp only to find truck sitting with no trailer. Hopefully this will make them move on to the next one. Already used tongue lock but apparently those can easily be busted off with hammer. Easy to put on, takes seconds. Worth the time.



by:

Description of item was detailed and ordering and processing was very easy. Also item was received in a timelyanner.



by:

easy to install. fast shipping. Folks tried to steal my trailer last week with my brand new Cub Cadet lawn tractor locked to the side of the trailer.

Hope this does the trick.



by:

Easy to install, although a bit heavy to store but worth it because of the security it provides.



by:

Just as described; ordered 2 (keyed alike). This makes me feel much more secure about having my trailer stored and not seeing it everyday to verify it’s security.



by:

Product easy to install. Peace of mind. No one tried to leave with my trailer so far



by:

All the information I've read about the RA-25 is true. Very easy operation and the level of security is excellent.



by:

Great fit! Quick and easy to attach. Provides peace of mind while camper is not is use.

We sold our pop-up camper recently, but kept the Rackem Lock! I didnt wantto part with it!



by:

Etrailer always has good reviews, good customer service, and great prices. Time will tell if the RA-25 is effective in preventing theft. It is really easy to attach - once its unlocked, you can remove the key and just clamp the 2 halves around the tire - done! I have a medium size atv trailer with 13" wheels and it fits good - the tips of the arms just touch the rim inside and out - there is no way its coming off. It is nice and flat making it easy to store when not in use. The keys and locking mechanism seem well made and work smoothly. Yes, I got locking lug nuts too, so its not easy to remove the wheel.

I still have my trailer so I guess the locks worked!! Seriouslythough, Im quite happy with both items, especially the rackem wheellock - it is so easy to use. It literally takes 5 seconds to attach orremove. Im very happy I bought it.



by:

Super easy to use, works great on my tr ailer.



by:

This wheel lock is reasonably priced, very well built and easy to install.
I also added a locking lug nut to the same tire that has the wheel lock, to eliminate any chance of a potential thief just removing and replacing the tire. I'm confident that my expensive enclosed cargo trailer is now extremely secure with this wheel lock and locking lug nut combination.

LOVE IT!!!



by:

This wheel lock is just what I needed for storing a trailer. It is heavy duty and easy to install or remove when needed. It adjusts to fit the wheel and locks down with the turn of the key. Nothing can totally prevent theft, but a thief will have to work pretty hard to get my trailer with this wheel lock and the other anti-theft equipment that I use. Customer service at etrailer has always been outstanding and the shipping is always fast.

I use this wheel lock on a trailer that I store in Florida. It has been exposed to the sun and salt air for a year and yet it still looks and functions as if brand new. I couldnt be happier with this purchase.



by:

These wheel locks have made me feel better about leaving my trailer parked. The sun has faded the yellow over time and I did have a little trouble unlocking one but that was due to weather and rain. With a little WD-40 and a minute or two it works fine. So that is a tip...keep a little WD-40 or equivalent on hand or lubricate the mechanism and lock from time to time and all should be good.

Just fine. I keep them in the trailer tool box and use them when away from home. They still give a little extra peace of mind.



by:

Even though the product is a good idea, it doesn't quite fit in either setting. I haven't put it to a test because I don't want to damage my tire, but I think it can be pried off with the slack needed to fit on. Suggest some finer adjustment settings to allow it to snug up tightly. I doubled up and have the tongue lock too, and my trailer still sits where it was parked a year ago on my secluded lot, but then again, nothing else was stolen either, so better safe than sorry is the only thing to say about that.

If a thief is determined enough, just about any lock can be defeated. The idea is to provide deterrence, so hopefully the thief moves on to an easier target. Having a lock on the coupler as you do also adds another layer of deterrence.



by:

Oh goodness, what a great design in the trailer wheel lock! We have a warmblood three horse trailer - bigger wheels - and this is just perfect. Keeping our investment safe!

Shipping was quick and easy too.

Thank you!

Locks are meant to deter and not completely stop a thief and this wheel lock seems to be one of the best out there. It is simple to use and it shows exactly which side to use. Between this lock and others I'm sure a would be thief will be on to another trailer.

Robert B.

Considering they are locks and my trailerboat have not been stolen I would say they are holding up fine. No issues with them so after a year they are still doing well. Thank you for asking.



by:

I have 6 of these, which I use on commercial equipment trailers & a small tractor.
They are alright...on several different types of wheels, they do not stay secure within the spokes, which means that they do not catch against the fender or stop the wheel from rolling...the wheel can roll with this lock in place, simply dragging the lock along the ground.
We had an 4WD atv stolen with this lock installed.
Thief Hot-wired it, put it in 4WD & drove off. Tire went flat, but because the wheel can spin with the lock in place, he just kept driving. We followed the drag mark about 3/4 of a mile to a paved road, where (presumably) the atv was loaded on a truck.
Atv was later recovered in a drug raid...original wheel was still on it, with a new tire installed.



by:

Recently had utility trailer stolen and searched the web for security products that would prevent this next time. This product seemed the best security for the price. I'm very happy with it and would purchase it again.

  • How to Determine Which Replacement Key Is Needed for Rack 'Em Magnum Wheel Lock
    My Rack 'Em representative tells me that without the key number, you'd need to have the lock drilled out and replaced with # RA25LOCK replacement lock. When you get the replacement keys, I'd recommend you record the key number, and keep the information in a safe place where you can find it if needed.

  • 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...

  • Could Rack em Wheel Lock RA-25 Work on Side by Side Tire Size 25x8.00-12
    You'd only need to install one wheel lock on a trailer. If you really wanted to install more there's no reason you couldn't but typically only one is ever used. The part # RA-25 will work for you but it'll fit better on the smaller tire size.

  • Can Two of the RackEm Manufacturing LockEm Magnum Wheel Lock, # RA-25 be Keyed Alike
    Yes, you can get 2 of the RackEm Manufacturing LockEm Magnum Wheel Lock, # RA-25, keyed alike. What you will do is look for the box that says Shipping Special and under that there is a pull down menu. Select Keyed Alike from the pull down menu. Then, under that, there is a box where you can enter how many you want. Enter 2 and then click the Add to Cart button. When the Wheel Locks arrive, they will both use the same key.

  • Parts Recommendations for Theft Deterrents for Trailer
    We can help, but determined thieves are hard to totally beat. If I could see your coupler I could recommend you the best style of lock we'd have for it. The best solution though is multiple locks like a wheel lock and a coupler lock plus a GPS or alarm system as well. The most universal coupler lock we have is the part # FA86-0015-313 which we have found to be very universal and effective. Then for a wheel lock we have the part # RA-25 which would work well.

  • 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.

  • Locking a Trailer that Uses Atwood Flat Nose Trailer Coupler 75074
    What I recommend to keep someone from stealing your parked trailer is a wheel lock such as # RA-25 or a model that also covers the lug nuts such as # WI490. Usually the mere presence of a lock will cause a would-be thief to move on to another target. Coupler locks do not really work with coupler 75074 due to the unique design of the coupler.

  • Wheel Lug for 13 Inch Trailer Wheels with Baby Moon Hub Caps
    it would be a very tight fit but it is possible for The Wheel Club # WI490 to fit your 13 inch tires with the baby moons on them. A safer bet would ne the Rack'em lock, # RA-25. It doesn't cover any part of the center of the wheel so the baby moons would not be in the way. I have included links to video reviews of both locks for you.

  • Will Rackem Wheel Lock Fit on a a 37 x 12.5 Inch Tire
    I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Rack'em wheel lock # RA-25 to measure it. You will be able to use it on a tire that is 12-1/2 inches wide provided the tire is on 15 to 20 inch wheels. The size in question would be the wheel diameter.

  • Way to Lock Trailer with Multi-Fit Hand Wheel Coupler
    I have a great solution to lock your trailer but the multi-fit couplers, and especially the one you have, are hard to fit coupler locks on. Your best option would then be the Rack'Em Wheel Lock part # RA-25 which will lock the trailer and bypass the difficult to lock coupler that you have.

  • Recommended Way to Lock a Trailer w/ a Ranch Hitch 5th Wheel Adapter
    I have a solution to secure your trailer but the EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock BLTL-53-40D2 you were looking at won't fit the Anderson Ranch Gooseneck Hitch Adapter item # AM3100. Instead you will want to use the Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock item # RA-25. This lock can be used on any trailer no matter what brand of coupler you have. It fits 12" - 20" wheels and can be keyed alike if you need more than one. I have linked a review video below.

  • Trailer Lock Recommendation for a Trailer with a Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler
    I have a great theft-deterrent for your trailer that has the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler part # BD0289340317 installed on it, but the Blaylock coupler lock part # BLTL-50-40D that you referenced would not be it. Instead you would need to go with a wheel lock like the part # RA-25 that works regardless of the coupler style of the trailer.

  • Can the Club Tire Claw XL # WI491-491LNP be Cut Through
    The The Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock with Lug Nut Protector Plate # WI491-491LNP, just like any other lock for any device, is more of a theft deterrent than a sure-fire way to keep someone from stealing your vehicle or getting at your wheels. Given enough time and the right equipment any lock can be beaten. Because of this (and to avoid would-be thieves from researching how much time they need) there are no "cut times" for the Club Tire Claw XL. If you don't like the design of this wheel...

  • How To Prevent Trailer Theft Beyond Hitch and Coupler Locks
    One easy way to prevent someone from removing the ball would be to use a ball mount that has the ball attached (welded) to the shank. That way you won't have to weld a ball to a shank that isn't meant for that type of modification. Some examples include # C42KR or something adjustable that locks like # DTALBM6600. A Wheel lock such as # RA-25 would also be a good idea. The trailer would not be able to be moved with a wheel lock like this on it. And the ball mount/ball may be enough of...

  • Wheel Locks for Trailers When Coupler Lock Will Not Fit
    Some trailer couplers are less friendly than others to lock installation. When the coupler lock option does not work there are other ways to secure your trailer. Most often a wheel lock is the lowest-cost and easiest solution. Among the wheel locks shown on the linked page the Rack 'Em # RA-25 is highly-rated by our customers that use it.

  • 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.

  • Would Pulling Pin of Trailer Breakaway Kit Work as Anti-Theft Device
    If you pulled the pin of your breakaway kit the brakes would be held for as long as the battery of the trailer could provide the amperage to activate the brakes. It wouldn't be long enough at all to be an effective anti-theft device so that wouldn't be a great route for an anti theft solution. Instead I'd recommend a wheel lock like the Rack Em Magnum Wheel Lock part # RA-25 to keep the trailer from being moved.

  • Is the Lock Mechanism on the Lock-em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 Replaceable or Permanent
    The Rack-em Manufacturing Lock-em Magnum Wheel Lock, part # RA-25, uses a replaceable tubular lock mechanism. We offer the replacement lock assembly as part # RA25LOCK, which comes with two tubular keys. The replacement procedure is simple enough: two spring-loaded dowels (one on each side) are pressed inward to unlock the internal housing which then slides out to reveal the access point for removing the original lock. This internal assembly fits snugly so a screwdriver will help to loosen...

  • Recommended Trailer Coupler & Wheel Locks
    The best type of lock for your Bulldog adjustable 2-5/16-inch trailer coupler depends on the coupler design. If you have a Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler like BD028585 then I would go for the Blaylock Total-Encasement Coupler Lock # BLTL-23 over the Fastway # FA86-0015-318 simply because it fully surrounds the coupler. Deterrent value is high! If you have other trailers to lock, then in that case the flexibility of the Fastway could make it your better option. For just this one trailer, go...

  • Why Cant a Regular Gooseneck Coupler Lock be Used on a Reese Goose Box Adapter
    The Reese Goose Box adapters such as # RP85FR don't have a straight down-tube like a traditional gooseneck coupler so the locks for regular gooseneck couplers, such as # BLTL-53-40D2, will not work. They cannot grab onto the coupler like they are supposed to. To secure the trailer a wheel lock such as # WI490 or # RA-25 or something similar is recommended instead. I have linked some videos on these locks for you.

  • 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...
