eZ-Latch Coupler

This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the contoured handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball. The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is also constructed of a durable composite material that's corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

Hey Gene. Finding replacements for Atwood parts can be tricky, so I'm glad this one worked out for ya!



by:

Coupler appears to be well built. I'm certain that 5 stars is deserved. I may update my review later, but first I need to make the coupler work on my "not standard trailer".
Packaging efforts need to be stepped up a bit. I've seen other comments stating the same.



by:

Really satisfied with the fit as well as the function of the latch. It gives me piece of mind with my 18 ft tractor hauler. 5 stars if the 6 bolts would have been includdd



by:

Still haven’t received it, I was told I had to wait until the 22nd to complain. Pretty dumb policy, considering I ordered it 16 days ago, and you still send me an automated rating system.

@WinstonW Hey, I'm glad it arrived, at least. I am sorry that it took so long, and will keep your review as is. Do you have any opinions or anything about the product you would like to let other neighbors know as well?


by:

Heavy duty for sure. Drilling 1/2” holes in 1/4” thick angle iron on the trailer required more than a hand drill, but other than that installation was simple. Removing the original coupler was a chore because it was welded on both top and bottom. I had to use a hacksaw (3 blades), 2 lb mallet, large crowbar, steel chisel, grinder. Fortunately I had all that, and I’m very pleased with the result.



by:

My old coupler was pretty used up and rated at only 5000 lbs for a 10,000 lb trailer so it had to go.
The new bolt-on 10,000 lb coupler is quality. I like the EZ latch because its smooth, self latching and easy. The job was about four hours including removing old coupler, welding some new channel in and drilling holes. New coupler looks good, works great, and trailer is safer.



by:

Fast delivery good communication. Have not installed the part but can tell it’s good quality.



by:

When my old coupler failed I was very happy to find a bolt on coupler this heavy as most are weld on for a trailer this heavy. I wish I would have changed the coupler years ago. I always had trouble with the old one. This one is so easy to latch and unlatch from my truck. It is great quality.



by:

Easy installation and a major upgrade from the oem coupler!



by:

Very nice hitch release lever. Easy to grab and lift to release. Easy to install.



by:

Great fit. Easy fix. Replaced my worn thin ball hitch. Grade 5 1/2" bolts with lockwashers.



by:

Coupler mechanism is finicky, you have to shake the trailer tongue to get it to lock. The pin hole is too small in diameter to accept a lock so you have to use a ball lock to lock the trailer. Also it’s plastic so if it sticks you have to be careful tapping on it. I wouldn’t by again and if it breaks I’ll go back to normal coupler.

The coupler mechanism is adjustable. Use the adjustment bolt on the underside of the latching mechanism to adjust until the coupler will self-latch when set atop the trailer ball.



by:

Very solid hitch. Fast shipping. Fits well except your trailer channels need to nearly come to a point for the first set of holes to have anything to bolt to. Mine did not, so I am having it welded on as well. No paperwork or hardware with this package, but the video will answer most all questions.

Excellent - it’s stronger than the trailer. Weak point is the plastic lever. If I’m unhitching on an incline it won’t release. I would break it.



by:

I don’t really want to write a review, hope someone will really read this.the main reason I ordered a bolt on coupling is so I would not have to weld, but I’m gonna have to even add 2in.to my trailer to make all the holes match. I would have returned it but your return policy says I would have to pay shipping ugg!!. I’m already in for 140.00 bucks now I have to pay and end up with nothing but lost of money for nothing. I’m 74 years old and did not want to weld , that was my only reason for ordering your coupling .the thing had some scratches and marks on it like it had already been a return, don’t think it was done during shipping, although it was put in a fairly large box with flimsy paper packing, so I’m going to have to make it work,even have to weld and everything. Now I’m having to waste time writing all of this , and it’s not going to even make any difference anyway. I think y’all owe me some kind of discount for all my troubles I was trying to avoid anyway, but I’m sure that is not going to happen either. GOD BLESS THOMAS OLIVER

You mentioned that you needed to add 2 inches to your trailer to install the trailer and I wanted to see if you could explain in more detail what you mean. Would you be able to send pictures?

Received my order. Absolutely perfect. Super replacement for my trailer. It will be like new when installed. I am glad to have found your site. Can’t say enough about the quality.

Just received the Trailer Coupler. Is very nice!! Heavy Duty! I placed it over the old coupler and it looks like it will work very well. I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

The trailer coupler has worked out perfectly. Handles everything that I haul.



by:

this was an effective solution to a bent trailer coupler and twisted frame. i did add
welds and a piece of channel to the frame before i bolted it down. 4 stars because i had to hunt around for a lock long enough to go thru the hole in the
front. definitely recommend if you have a difficult repair on a trailer coupler.



by:

Hitch works great the only thing holding me back from a five star rating is the plastic latch handle. The latch handle flex's a lot and feels like it would break if pulled hard. I have figured out that if you start to jack the trailer up and then it releases easily. I will defiantly buy this hitch again.



by:

I just received the coupler yesterday and it is very heavy duty and has a great finish on it. Customer service was incredible. They even expedited shipping even though I didn't ask or pay for it. Thanks etrailer!!

We have contacted the manufacturer and they suggest pulling forward so that trailer is not pushing against the truck. If the ball is being pushed into the latch mechanism if will be hard to unlatch. Pull forward before unhooking it on a level surface.



by:

Easy install and very well built



by:

Good solid hitch, exactly as represented. Shipped promptly. Once I get the remnants of the old hitch cleaned off, it will be an easy, secure install.

This coupler looks great!
Had a problem with receiving this package originally in which the item was lost on delivery, but etrailer sent me a new item and received it very quickly. Very satisfied with this purchase



by:

Easy to install and like the easy latch. Have another trailer that came with this tongue on it, so when it came time to upgrade an older trailer, I chose this one. Very pleased

  • Difference Between 10K Demco eZ-Latch Couplers
    The only differences between the Demco eZ-Latch Couplers # DM37ZR and # DM14793-81 is that the former has integrated loop holes for installing safety chains and a about a 2" drop while the latter doesn't come with provisions for attaching the safety chains and has the coupler in-line with the trailer frame. Aside from that everything else is the same.

  • Availability Of Replacement Latch For Atwood 88555 2 Coupler
    Unfortunately the Atwood coupler in your picture (appears to be part 88555) has been discontinued so there is not any latch kit or replacement parts available. At this point the only option we can offer is to replace the coupler entirely. The most similar coupler we offer is the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5210-B. This has the same 8,000 lb weight rating as the Atwood 88555 coupler. It also appears to be very similar in design. If you want to go with something a bit more heavy duty,...

  • Can I Use A Demco Bolt-On Coupler With A Tubular Trailer Tongue
    That is an interesting question. We do caution against bolting the Demco Coupler # DM14793-81 to a round tube. While you might be able to drill holes and tighten the bolts properly, the concern would be that the body of the coupler is not making full contact with the frame. As you said, they are intended for rectangular or right angle stock steel. With a part of the trailer as important as the coupler, it is an area where we would want to take any risks. Your best bet would be to take...

  • Availability of Coupler Repair Kit for Discontinued Atwood Coupler
    Hi Andy; Atwood has been gone for quite a while now so their couplers and repair kits are no longer around. The best option is to replace the coupler on your trailer. I recommend the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81. This uses the eZ latch which makes for a quick and simple hookup and disconnect. It is also available in silver # DM14793-52. If you're looking for a more economic option we have the # CA-5210-B which is a weld-on coupler.

  • EZ Latch and Sleeve-Lock Trailer Couplers To Replace Latch Coupler on 2023 Intech Sol Horizon Camper
    Based on your measurements it matches our Fulton 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler # FE443050303 which looks to be the same as what is on the 2024 Intech Sol Horizon from the videos I could find. So this would use either the EZ Latch # DM14793-81 or Sleeve-Lock # CA-5196-B coupler. Like you mentioned you will have to drill new holes to match your trailer mounts as they do not use a typical bolt on pattern.

  • A-Frame Coupler For 2015 H&H Enclosed Trailer
    When looking up the specs for the H&H CA Series Flat Top Single Axle Cargo it said that this trailer uses a 2” A-frame coupler. The A-Frame Coupler Item # CA5100B will work with your trailer. It has a 2-1/4" hole diameter for jack: It requires (3) 3/8"-16 bolts for installation (not included). It will need to be welded on. If you need a bolt on coupler # DM14793-81 will work also. I have attached all of our 2" A-Frame Couplers to this page.

  • Do You Carry a Bolt On Trailer Jack Which Mounts to a Trailer Tongue With 2 Mounting Bolts Versus 3?
    All the bolt on trailer jacks we carry use the 3 bolt pattern which is commonly found on todays Couplers # DM14793-81. You may be able to replace your current jack with a Round A-Frame Trailer Jack # TJA-5000T-B. This will require a 2-1/4" hole opening for the jack to fit through as well as new mounting holes to be drilled into the mounting plate to secure the jack.

  • Is Mounting Hardware Included with Demco A-Frame Trailer Couplers
    Hardware is not included with Demco coupler # DM14793-81. The reason for this is different applications can require different hardware whether it be length or material (because dissimilar metals can lead to corrosion problems).

  • Solution for Attach Coupler to A-Frame that Would Need to Be Extended 1977 Apache Roamer
    Only solution will be to extend out the frame rails of your trailer so that you can install a standard coupler on to them. None of the options out there are going to be large enough to fit your frame channels that basically start too far apart. What I'd do (if you can) is go with the Demco coupler # DM14793-81 that you referenced and have a fabricator come out and have him decide the best way to extend out your frame to install this. This is one of the larger couplers so it wouldn't require...

  • What Size Bolts Should Be Used To Install The Demco DM14793-81 Coupler?
    The mounting holes on the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81 are all going to be 1/2", so you will want to use grade 5 or higher 1/2" bolts. The length will depend on the thickness of the frame you are attaching this to and the torque spec will depend on the bolt you end up going with. I know this is a fairly vague answer, but there can be a lot of variables with torque specs depending on the bolt. These rating should be listed on the bolts you end up going with though.

  • Is There a Latch Repair Kit for an Atwood Trailer Coupler 88555
    There will be no trailer coupler latch repair kit for an Atwood Trailer Coupler 88555 which is discontinued. Unfortunately, the only option is a full replacement for which I recommend the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM14793-81. This coupler can be bolted-on once you cut the old one off and it doesn't require the handle to be open while coupling.

  • Recommended Replacement Coupler For An Atwood 2" Coupler
    I went ahead and checked, and unfortunately there is not a coupler repair kit for your 2" Atwood coupler. With that being said, the best solution is going to be a full coupler replacement. I recommend checking out the: -Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch # DM14793-81. This coupler is made for 2" hitch balls, has a maximum capacity of 10,000-lbs, and has a bolt-on installation. Attached is a product overview video for you to check out as well.

    Fulton does not carry a repair kit for your 2" ball coupler. I recommend replacing your coupler with one easier to use like the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81. This coupler can be bolted on and if the coupler latch wears our it can be replaced with the Repair Kit # DM6109. With this eZ-Latch system you only need to raise the handle to disconnect the trailer. This makes it much easier to just drop the trailer onto the ball and not add additional stress to the parts.

    There isn't a way to convert a latch, and there aren't any yoke latch repair kits unfortunately, so the best we can offer is a replacement A-frame coupler. If you want to stick with the yoke-style latch you can use the 8,000 lb A-Frame Trailer Coupler - Yoke Latch # CA-5210-B. Or you can upgrade to the popular eZ Latch Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81.

    Well, that is a coupler, though it is in bad shape. It is a bottom mount or underslung coupler like # CA-5335-B. You can check the ball cavity to see if it is in working order but all that corrosion makes me think that using its coupler is not going to work. In order to use a regular coupler you will likely have to cut off that bottom mount coupler so a new coupler will be able to be lowered on the ball. The jack will also have to come out to be able to install a new coupler. As long...

  • Standard 50 Degree A-Frame Coupler Fit For Custom Build Trailer
    A standard 50 degree coupler like # DM14793-81 will work on your custom 45 degree frame with a little modification.
