Fits but shaft is a little thinner..be great when trailering boat.



by:

Great Product! We ordered 6 of these for our fleet of trailers. Very convenient with all the same key. Also purchased the matching coupler locks.
We are very happy with both the products AND customer service at etrailer. They are our first and only call for trailer supplies.



by:

I received excellent customer service from Brenden C. The 2-1/2" trailer coupler lock fits perfectly on my trailer with bulldog-type hitch coupler (excellent fit/very secure). The keyed-alike option makes life easy - only 1-key for all locking devices. I highly recommend etrailer.com (great people providing excellent customer service!)



by:

Neil was great to work with. I had lost one of my locks and needed to get a replacement with the same key pattern as ones I had previously ordered. Neil got me hooked up and I am very happy.



by:

Works great!



by:

Easy to install and I like the way the key tightens the axle of the lock. I did make one easy modification for my use. I added a nut as a spacer so when locked, no part of the axle shows. This makes it a little more difficult for someone to saw off the thinner axle part. See two pictures attached.



by:

Exactly what I needed. Thanks,



by:

This lock fits my Nitro (Tracker Marine) trailer perfectly. Keep in mind that it doesn't provide protection from someone who wants to break it. But it provides a deterrent from vandalism. It's nice to know when you see it still in place that no one has messed with your hitch.



by:

Sent lock with wrong key, did an outstanding job to expedite a correct lock with correct key1



by:

Works as expected.



by:

The product is the only one I have found for the Bulldog hitch. It would be perfect if it were a quarter inch shorter. Leaves room for a cutter to get in there. Easily remedied. As for service, etrailer has been the best for All of my trailer needs!



by:

Durable and easy to use. Really wanted a keyed-alike locks for the hitch and the trailer coupler, and etrailer was able to make that happen. I'm sure someone with the right equipment and a big set of balls could cut through these if they really wanted to, but so far that hasn't happened. Makes me feel a lot better knowing that my trailer is going to be there when I'm doing fishing 99% of the time.



by:

Excellent service and follow up!!! Always great to do business with.



by:

While etrailer has really great products of which this is only one, of the highest value to me is the quality and integrity of their people. I contacted them via the online purchase portal asking for different products and multiples of those products all keyed alike resulting in a dozen items with one key. Well it did not do as planned on my end but in the end and with no monetary compensation at all I have what I hoped for all untangled skillfully by Victoria G. I will never hesitate to make my purchases at etrailer, a customer for life!



by:

Was looking for multiple trailer locks that fit Bulldog style hitches - but wanted them keyed the same. This is the only place I found where that is available. The locks arrived and fit perfectly - 2 1/2" span. I recommend, especially if you want multiple locks with the same key pattern.



by:

Great trailer hitch lock - exactly what I wanted and needed. Only thing that could have made my shopping experience faster would be pictures and names of different types of trailer hitches. I wasn't sure about 7692 until I watched one of the videos that clearly showed the lock on my hitch. I don't know how many different types/styles/designs of trailer hitches there are so I don't know how many locks would NOT work on my hitch. Sometimes you have to shop by 'process of elimination' but if you don't know how many products are wrong, it's tough to know which is right.



by:

Coupler lock is the only 2 1/2" lock that will fit my coupler. Because my coupler has a recessed hole and the lock is tapered on both ends it fits nicely.



by:

This is just what I was looking for. Fits my surge brake coupler on my MasterCraft boat trailer. I wish was stainless steel like my drawbar hitch one that I got from ETrailer, but it still looks good and will do what I need.



by:

This is nice - quick way to secure the trailer coupler. I thought that twisting the key a few times would be more hassle than just the push and click type. I found I could just hold the key in twist the other end - as they do in their video! Duh. It is nice they come in various lengths and you can get them with the key coded to their receiver lock. Now if they could just make a lock that covers the ball too and use the same key - that would be great. Can't have too many locks on your trailer. This now lives on my trailer - I did use some light oil in the lock to make it easier to use down the road.



by:

As a tournament walleye angler for over 20 years , I have been trailering a boat around this great country of our. And the etrailer lock has never been more helpful in letting me have the security and piece of mind that my equipment is going to be safe. Thanks Again etrailer for all your great service.



by:

Fast shipping on my tongue lock, 2.5" and 2", keyed alike (nice option etrailer offers). Easy to use if you turn the side opposite the key to close then lock. Key comes out every quarter turn. Doesn't just lock on like most tongue locks, must be turned about 3 rotations. Nice product though. Bought some extra rubber dust caps as they are usually the first to go after a year or so. Just need to see how it will hold up to N.E. winters.



by:

High quality, affordable price, fit perfect on my boat trailer..

Still working like new a year later...



by:

I am really quite happy with these locks (I purchased 4 that are keyed alike). They are a bit unusual in that the whole locking chamber rotates separate from the rest of the lock several time to open it (I learned to hold the key still and rotate the body of the lock).
Two of mine are on trailers outside and have shown no rust or other issues in one year.



by:

Have used locks like these on my boat and utility trailers for years now with no problems with them. Although these could probably be defeated with a hacksaw, combining them with a locking hitch insert and a clamping wheel lock gives me more peace of mind leaving the trailer somewhere.



by:

Already had one that I was pleased with.
Needed
keyed alike locks for 4 trailers. Was able to swap a new key mechanism with my old pin.

    I have another option for you but the MaxxTow Coupler Latch Lock for Surge Brake Actuators - 2-1/2" Span - 1/4" Diameter # MT46FR you were looking at cannot be ordered keyed alike. Instead I recommend the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock - 2-1/2" Span - 1/4" Diameter - Chrome # e98887 which has the same 2-1/2" span and 1/4" diameter but can be keyed alike by selecting the keyed alike option on the product page above the add to cart button.

  • Comparing Demco and Titan Disc Brake Actuators with Electric Lockouts
    That is a tough question to answer as both are excellent manufacturers with their respective pros/cons. In regards to brake actuators, they both make and manufacture them here in the U.S.A. and they both come with a one year warranty. In regards to differences, Demco makes a wide range of different trailer and towing products whereas Titan specializes more in trailer brakes. WIth that being said we have had more positive feedback from Titan products in regards to trailer brakes, actuator...

  • Recommended Coupler Lock for Low-Profile Trigger
    For your A-frame coupler similar to the Fulton # FE443050303, I recommend the Trailer Coupler Lock - Deadbolt Style for Surge Brake with 2-1/2" Span # e98887. This lock will allow the ends of the lock to be on either side of the coupler giving you the compatibility with low profile trigger. Another option is the Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock - Stainless Steel # 2847DAT which will allow more of a custom fit.

  • Recommended Lock for Bulldog BD028499 Collar-Lok Trailer Coupler
    The Bulldog # BD028499 Collar-Lok coupler is about 2-3/4 inches wide at the point of the coupler where the locking pin is located, so the # e98887 lock you'd looked at wouldn't have a long enough span to work for you. I'd recommend the same lock with a longer span, part # e98888 which would fit just fine. For a more secure lock that's specifically designed to work with a coupler like this, I'd go with the Blalock # BLTL-20-40D which would be harder to defeat and would provide a higher...

  • How to Prevent Theft of the Topline Bed Extender # BX4004-02
    What you would do to deter theft of the bed extender # BX4004-02 is to use security type of hardware. Something that requires an uncommon specialty tool to install/remove. That would secure the mounts that attach to the tailgate. To secure the extender to the mounts you would have to replace the pins that hold the extender on. Something like # e98887 or a similar lock could work. Or something like the Toylok # LC337120 is another option. It would also be good for securing other items stored...

  • How to Manually Lockout Brake Actuator With Electric Lockout
    You could run a bolt through the # DM8104311 to manually lock it out if the solenoid fails. However, there is no spot on the actuator to do this so it would require drilling. A Replacement solenoid # DM11993 is also available. The hole would require a 1/4" pin. We don't have a regular pin but you could use the # e98887 which would hold it in place and deter theft.

    I have the perfect solution for you to lock the upright mast to the horizontal load bars on your Rhino-Rack T-Load Load Assist and Support Bar part # RRTL002. As you have identified the opening of having a 1/4" diameter, you will want the Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98887. The locking pin also has a span of 2-1/2" therefore, will work on your 2" diameter shaft. You will also want to drill a 1/4" hole through the inner shaft in order for this pin to the lock the two together.

  • How Many Sets of Electric Trailer Brakes For Tandem 3,500 lb Axles When Converting From Hydraulic
    Excellent questions, and let's start with your query about having brakes on both axles. The answer is that you do indeed want to have brakes on both of your 3,500 lb tandem axles. The reason is because just one set of 3,500 lb brakes won't have the stopping power required for a trailer that weighs 5,000 or 6,000 lbs, and also just one set of brakes will also wear out very quickly as they'll be overworked for the load they are rated for.

A pin style, the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock part # e98887 specifically, is far more universal and has a keyed alike option. This is what I recommend using for multiple trailers.
