Recommended Trailer Coupler Locks for Open Car Hauler
Question:
Is there a trailer hitch lock that you recommend? I have a open car hauler / garden trailer.

We have numerous hitch and coupler locks available.
I'm assuming you're looking for a coupler lock that would prevent somebody from hitching your trailer up and taking off with it, is that correct?
If your trailer uses a simple latch style coupler like part # BD580403. The locking pin would insert through the hole in the coupler latch, and would prevent the coupler from being opened. If the coupler has a flange around it's lower edge, something like our # e98893 would work well on 1-7/8 and 2 inch couplers. The Fastway # FA86-0015-316 works great on most couplers.
If you'd care to send a photo of your coupler, I'd be happy to provide some more specifics. To see all the available coupler locks and to see some demonstration videos and more information about the locks I mentioned, click the provided links.
