Recommended Padlock Compatible with Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford Towing Prep Package  

Question:

I believe the question was misunderstood, so let me clarify. I want to lock the rail adapter to the bed of the truck. When the handles are closed (to secure the rail adapter to the bed of the truck), a quick pin is inserted to prevent the handles from being opened. I’m guessing the quick pin is maybe 3/32”. It is unclear to me how the 5/16” padlock would be used to secure the adapter to the bed. Which is why I believe the question was misinterpreted. Please advise?

The Master Lock Laminated Steel Padlock - 1-3/4" Wide - 5/16" Diameter Shackle # ML1KA can be keyed alike and will work very well to secure your Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6175.

The Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6175 in its installation details states that pin is 0.313 x 1.00 inches. That makes that pin just over 5/16 inch (which is 0.3125 inches). If you measure that pin with a caliper and it is not accurately represented in the instructions, then you may be interested in the Master Lock Covered, Solid Body Padlock - 3/16" Diameter Shackle # 131D instead.
