Great product. Great Customer Service.

Simple easy theft deterrent

we love it.

It's hooked up to a boat trailer with 12" wheels. Very impressed.



by:

Our Risk Management Department loves them



by:

Excellent everything. Quick delivery, simple to use



by:

THE UNIT WAS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND WAS DELIVERED VEY QUICKLY ------ THANKS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE



by:

Fits tight (against rim), seems sturdy, easy to use. Only time will tell if it thwarts thieves, but it looks promising. I like the rubber coated tongs to avoid scratches and I like being able to lock without key. I recommend adding lug nut lock as thieves could simply replace tire.



by:

The wheel lock is just what I was looking for and works pefect on a horse trailer. Etrailer was simple and easy to order through. I received my shipment before the anticpated delivery date.



by:

I love this quick simple wheel lock and will use it often. Your service was great and the products were excellent. For some time I have been worried about the security of my cargo trailer. Now I can sleep soundly. I think your prices were great and I will recommend you to others. Thank you!



by:

Great Communication from etrailer after they received my order. My order was shipped within 24 hours after purchase. I was also notified by email when the items were shipped and the tracking number.

I was even emailed after the delivery to confirm that everything arrived without any issues or complications. Great Company to order from. They definately appreciate their customers!

I will tell all my friends about your great company. Thanks !



by:

Work in construction and have compressors, generators, light towers, arrow boards, message boards. We place these items sometimes along the road or in a field. Wheel locks that are keyed alike can be tough. Rack it and etrailer supply a good product for this need.



by:

Easy to put on and lock seems to be very secure. I have mine put on a 12" tire for my jet ski trailer. Lock can be put on and taken off with just a few seconds. Very happy with lock and shipping was extremely fast.



by:

Seems like a very high-quality product, very sturdy and works well. My only problem is that someone could replace the tire with a spare, bypassing the wheel lock, but that seems like an unlikely scenario. Nevertheless, I plan to get some kind of locking lug nut or hub lock to ensure that isn't a possibility.



by:

I purchased the Rack'em wheel lock RA-25 and coupler lock DT25013. Super fast delivery. I picked up my new pop-up yesterday in 110 degree weather with the locks in my trunk. By the time I got to the storage facility, it was sweltering. I was dreading putting on the locks for the first time "thinking it would be so complicated." Wheh, it was not!. The wheel lock snapped on in a jiffy as the did the coupler lock. The Rackem lock definitely works as easily as the video shows. Great service and products.



by:

I am thoroughly pleased with this product as well as the awesome customer service I received while ordering it! I couldn't have asked for better. I will also be using locking lug nuts for the wheel so it cannot be removed.

"Thanks so much!" You can never be too cautious when it comes to protecting your Trailer! :) I've already recommended this wheel lock to fellow Travelers.



by:

The small end would not reach the holes in my wheel. The large end would not close tight enough. The lock would just hang loose on the wheel. I then put one half of the long end in the wheel hole and the other around the spring, then lock tightened and worked as designed.

Status is same secured my trailer as expected



by:

I have four expensive trailers, so I purchased two of these in January and two more in February. I had all four keyed alike. Now I only need to carry one key to unlock any of the four wheel locks. That is so convenient! I'm very impressed with the quality and how easy they are to use. They only take seconds to install or remove. (Unless you're a thief, then just "Fuhgeddaboudit")

Trailer Wheel Lock

DO NOT PURCHASE
this wheel lock. The construction of this product is made from inexpensive steel that can be cut off in matter of minutes using a standard battery operated reciprocating saw. We purchased this product and then our trailer was stolen 3 days later. The culprit DID NOT have to worry about a lock because he simply just cut off the one arm of the unit. We lost a $10,000 trailer in a matter of minutes. Save your money, don't shop on this site for trailer locks. Rather, call an insurance broker, get insurance and then park it in a gated storage lot. I really wish I would have. See images attached.



by:

I'm using this on a utility trailer but can find many more uses for it. Having the ability to use it on so many different wheel/tire sizes in one package is a major plus. Built tough to with stand many years of use. I originally had my hitch locked with a padlock, but still had concerns of theft. With the Magnum wheel lock, those concerns are now gone.



by:

Just received Lock'em wheel lock and immediately put on boat trailer. I have had theft on my boat several times and was told by cops a lot of trailers are stolen here in Crimellas County Florida while out fishing. Would hate to come back to boat ramp only to find truck sitting with no trailer. Hopefully this will make them move on to the next one. Already used tongue lock but apparently those can easily be busted off with hammer. Easy to put on, takes seconds. Worth the time.



by:

easy to install. fast shipping. Folks tried to steal my trailer last week with my brand new Cub Cadet lawn tractor locked to the side of the trailer.

Hope this does the trick.



by:

Well made fits great

Works great.

  • How to Find the Correct Replacement Keys for the Rack'em Magnum Wheel Lock Part # RA-25
    We do sell replacement keys for the Rack'em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock part # RA-25 but in order to find the correct ones you would need to know your key number which is only found on the keys, not the lock. For example, the Replacement Key for Rack'em Magnum Wheel Lock part # RA25KEY20121 is a replacement for the 20121 keys. Therefore, if you no longer have the keys and did not write down the key numbers then the only option would be to drill the lock out and replace it with the Replacement...

  • Recommendation to Prevent Trailer Theft by Using Safety Chains
    It is possible to move a trailer by just attaching to it's safety cables. Most people would avoid the method you described as the trailer will slam into the back of the tow vehicle while stopping. Basically it wouldn't be a thief's ideal method for theft of a trailer but it would be an option. As a way to prevent that type of theft I would recommend a wheel lock like the part # RA-25. This will attach to your rim and will make it nearly impossible to move the trailer. Check out the review...

  • How to Prevent a Trailer From Being Stolen
    That's definitely a creative way to steal a trailer. Haven't heard that one before. It would be pretty difficult to get a wrench below the coupler to stop a hitch ball like item # 19286 from spinning when loosening the nut though. If someone's that determined to loosen the hitch ball off of the Curt Ball Mount item # C45338, I recommend using the Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock item # RA-25. This will attach to your rim and make it nearly impossible to move the trailer. To secure...

  • Recommended Lock for a Gen-Y 5th Wheel Hitch
    Hey Randy congrats on the new trailer. We do not have any coupler locks that fit a Gen-Y Gooseneck Pin Box like item # GY38FR. My only solution to secure your trailer is to use the Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock item # RA-25. This lock fits 12" - 20" wheels and the rubber-coated arms will not scratch your wheels. I have linked a review video below so you can see the features of this lock demonstrated. What kind of trailer did you get?

    Hi Rick! I do have another option for you, but the Trimax Trailer Wheel Chock and Lock - 7" - 11-1/4" Wide Tires - Qty 2 # TMX85FR are not able to be keyed alike, unfortunately. For ones that can be keyed alike, check out the two I have listed below: Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock - Steel - 12" - 20" Wheels # RA-25 Blaylock EZ Trailer Wheel Lock - Aluminum - 15" to 20" Wheels # BLEZ-302 These are a bit different than the Trimax option, but we can key as many of them to the same number...

  • Locks Available For A Gooseneck Trailer
    Hi Alvin! There are a couple ways to lock a gooseneck trailer, but not as many as other styles. If it will fit, I am a fan of the Blaylock EZ Lock Gooseneck Coupler Lock # BLTL-50-40D. It's easy to install and is American made. The only thing is, it is designed to fit Bulldog, Stallion, Superior, and T.E.M. Gooseneck Couplers. There are instances where it fit other things as well, but if you take a look at the picture I included, you can get a good idea of if it will fit your trailer...

  • Can or Should a Breakaway System be Used to Prevent Trailer Theft
    To activate a breakaway system such as # 20099 you would just pull the pin out of the switch. With the pin removed the metal contacts inside can touch completing the circuit and supply 12 volt power from the breakaway battery to the trailer brakes. It will not release the brakes until the pin is reinserted or the battery dies. I do not recommend this as a method of theft prevention or to keep the trailer from rolling. What I do recommend is a lock such as # RA-25. The trailer wheel cannot...

  • Way to Lock Trailer with Multi-Fit Hand Wheel Coupler
    I have a great solution to lock your trailer but the multi-fit couplers, and especially the one you have, are hard to fit coupler locks on. Your best option would then be the Rack'Em Wheel Lock part # RA-25 which will lock the trailer and bypass the difficult to lock coupler that you have.

  • Locking a Trailer that Uses Atwood Flat Nose Trailer Coupler 75074
    What I recommend to keep someone from stealing your parked trailer is a wheel lock such as # RA-25 or a model that also covers the lug nuts such as # WI490. Usually the mere presence of a lock will cause a would-be thief to move on to another target. Coupler locks do not really work with coupler 75074 due to the unique design of the coupler.

    The Fulton Trailer Keeper Wheel Lock for Wheels up to 15" FTK1000100 was discontinued a number of years ago and while I do have a way for you to continue to have a lock on your trailer wheel, there aren't any replacement parts left for this Fulton lock so we need to look at a new lock system. I recommend checking out the Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock # RA-25 which has 2 different jaw sizes so it's compatible with 12" - 20" wheels and it comes with a lock that uses a barrel-style key...

  • Would Pulling Pin of Trailer Breakaway Kit Work as Anti-Theft Device
    If you pulled the pin of your breakaway kit the brakes would be held for as long as the battery of the trailer could provide the amperage to activate the brakes. It wouldn't be long enough at all to be an effective anti-theft device so that wouldn't be a great route for an anti theft solution. Instead I'd recommend a wheel lock like the Rack Em Magnum Wheel Lock part # RA-25 to keep the trailer from being moved.

  • How To Prevent Trailer Theft Beyond Hitch and Coupler Locks
    One easy way to prevent someone from removing the ball would be to use a ball mount that has the ball attached (welded) to the shank. That way you won't have to weld a ball to a shank that isn't meant for that type of modification. Some examples include # C42KR or something adjustable that locks like # DTALBM6600. A Wheel lock such as # RA-25 would also be a good idea. The trailer would not be able to be moved with a wheel lock like this on it. And the ball mount/ball may be enough of...

  • Theft Prevention Recommendations for a 5th Wheel Trailer
    You could remove your breakaway switch pin while your trailer is in storage, however, a determined thief will get what they want in the end. If he went through the trouble to break in and attempt steal your trailer, it would not be a problem for him to simply cut the wires from the breakaway switch. Cutting the wires from the breakaway switch would be fast and easy. Another factor to consider is that the battery will only last for a short time and it will drain completely. Leaving the...

  • Can Trailer Wheel Locks be Easily Defeated
    I can pass along your lock concerns to the manufacturers. Any lock can be defeated given enough time and persistence. A wheel lock such as # RA-25 is a deterrent, as all locks are. If a thief wants that trailer bad enough, they'll find a way. Thieves have a tendency to pick the low-hanging fruit; that is to say that the mere presence of a lock is likely to cause a would-be thief to move on to an easier target. Things that take time like removing a tire from a trailer are not worth the...

  • Lug Nut For 17-1/2 Inch Trailer Wheel & Lock
    Trailer wheels that are 17-1/2 inches wide commonly use 9/16" lug nuts, and we do have those, but not locking lug nuts of that size; the best option is to get the lug nuts that fit and utilize a wheel lock. For the lug nuts you can use either of the following: - Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 9/16"-18 - Stainless Steel # LHLR110 - Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 9/16" Diameter - Zinc Plated # 6-53 Then for a wheel lock that will fit that size wheel, I recommend a Rack'em lock: - Rack'em...

    The The Club Tire Claw XL Wheel Lock with Lug Nut Protector Plate # WI491-491LNP, just like any other lock for any device, is more of a theft deterrent than a sure-fire way to keep someone from stealing your vehicle or getting at your wheels. Given enough time and the right equipment any lock can be beaten. Because of this (and to avoid would-be thieves from researching how much time they need) there are no "cut times" for the Club Tire Claw XL. If you don't like the design of this wheel...

One side works on 12-15 inch wheels and the other side works on 15-17 inch wheels. The arms measure 1 inch X 7/8 inch at the narrowest point and would be extremely difficult to cut off with a bolt cutter. For added security, you may want to check out part # FA86-0015-316.

The lock will act as a theft deterrent and the chock will prevent the trailer from rolling away. The # RA-25 wasn't designed to stop the movement of a heavy trailer on a hill.

  • Recommended Trailer Wheel Lock
    One thing to remember is that locks are for keeping honest people honest. If a thief is determined enough and has enough time, any lock can be defeated. The key is to provide a deterrent, make the potential thief move on to an easier target. As far as convenience, strength and versatility goes, I would have to recommend the Lock em Magnum Wheel Lock, part # RA-25. This lock is simple to operate, is reasonably secure, and will fit a variety of wheel sizes from 12 to 20 inches.

    The lug studs on your 2007 T@B Clamshell Travel Trailer should be 1/2" diameter and if this is the case then part # RG01-150 would work well for you. If they are not 1/2" diameter then we would not have a locking lug nut for you and your only option to prevent left of your wheels would be with a wheel lock like part # RA-25.
