What Material is the Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # 2878DAT Made From
Question:
Can you tell me what the lock over all material is made of? Is it easy to defeat? Aluminum, Steel, Harden Steel?

Expert Reply:
The 7/8" Wide Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # 2878DAT is made of hardened steel.
As far as how easy it is to defeat, ultimately any lock can be defeated given enough time and the right tools. Since there is no gauge of how "breakeable" a specific lock is, we recommend making your setup look intimidating to deter would-be thieves.
If you are wanting to deter theft of your trailer when it is coupled then the Bulldog # BD580404 is a great option because it has a coupler lock and a ball mount lock.
If you are looking to deter theft of your trailer when it is uncoupled then the Master Lock # ML389DAT is one of our most popular items. It's bright color really stands out in hopes of deterring the thieves from even trying.
