Blaylock Industries Locks BLTL-34 Review

Today were going to review part number BLTL-34. This is the Blaylock Easy Lock Trailer Coupler Lock for 2 5/16 ball couplers that have a flat or a rolled lip. This coupler lock will prevent theft of your trailer on a trailer that has a ball coupler that has the flat or the rolled lip. Basically this lock would fit over the couplers lip and it fully surrounds where the hitch ball would normally hook to and it will block access to the hitch ball opening. Im trying to give you an example here. I pulled a coupler that fits on a 2 5/16-inch hitch ball just to demonstrate how this lock would work, and again basically as you can see it has the rolled or flat lip right here all the way around, so basically you would just put this over that.


Blaylock Industries Locks BLTL-38 Review

Today were going to review part number BLTL-38. This is the Blaylock Easy Lock Coupler Lock for 1 7/8-inch and 2-inch light duty couplers. This coupler lock will prevent theft of your trailer that has a ball coupler that uses a flat or rolled lip on it. To give you an idea of a coupler like that I have an example here. This is a Fulton straight-tongue coupler. Its a 2-inch hitch ball coupler, and if you notice it has the lip on the outer edge here so basically what this lock would do this lock will fit over the couplers lip right here, and when you put it over there it fully surrounds the hitch ball coupler to block access to the hitch ball opening.


Blaylock Industries Locks BLTL-36 Review

Today were going to review part number BLTL-36. This is the Blaylock Easy Lock Trailer Coupler Lock. This is for 2-inch medium duty couplers and 2-inch heavy duty 8,000 pound couplers that have a lip on them. This coupler lock will prevent theft of your trailer that has the ball coupler with a flat or rolled lip. I do have an example here. Heres a 2-inch coupler that will have the flat lip right here, and basically what happens is this lock will slide up over that lip as you can see right there.

  • How Many Locking Lug Nuts are Recommended Per Trailer Wheel
  • One locking lug nut per wheel would be the most efficient way to do it. These are sold in pairs because each axle has two wheels (one per wheel). If a thief was willing to dedicate the time to defeat one locking lugnut, a second one would not make a big enough difference to convince them to stop, so it would be a bit of waste to have 2 per wheel.
