Coupler Lock and Secuirty for Bolt-On A-Frame Coupler
Question:
I am currently ordering a trailer from Haulmark that plans to install this coupler on a new ATX Motorcycle trailer. I am looking at security for the coupler and found 2 at the moment. But, coupler security is useless if a thief can unbolt the coupler. How is theft prevented with the use of your coupler? Thanks in advance

Expert Reply:
When using a bolt-on coupler such as the Demco # DM14793-52, trailer coupler locks such as the Master Lock # ML389DAT are added to prevent trailer theft. These locks are an inexpensive and large deterrent to those looking to steal a trailer. There is no absolute way to prevent theft of a coupler if somebody was determined enough, but it would be extraordinarily unusual for someone to go through the amount of time, trouble, and risk of unbolting a coupler for the purposes of taking the coupler itself, and there would be no way to steal a trailer without a coupler on it.
