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 handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball.


Demco eZ-Latch in Use

The contoured, low-profile design of the latch handle helps protect the coupler from damage by allowing any potential hazards - from debris on the road to your ball mount backing into the coupler - to simply slide over the top. This helps prevent anything from getting under the latch handle and releasing the ball, and it can also limit any damage to the coupler should an impact occur.


Demco Coupler Cutaway

Unlike most couplers, which have a pin hole through the handle latch, the eZ-Latch coupler features a hole through the side of the coupler itself. Inserting a coupler lock through this hole will keep the latch from lifting, preventing disconnect and theft.


Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction

Made of sturdy steel, this coupler features a durable red primed paint finish that is designed to limit rust and corrosion and allows for easy welding.


The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is constructed of an impact-resistant polymer-nylon-resin compound that provides the flexibility and strength needed to bounce back from a collision. The handle is corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

Just as described perfect fit with easy installation. cut off the old and slid the new one right into place. Bolt it on in the morning. need to get the proper bolts (does not come with install hardware).



by:

I own a landscape [company] so I am constantly hooking and unhooking my trailers. The fight with the old style couplers were absolutely driving me nuts, having to try and wiggle around a 2500 lb trailer to get it unhooked is a nightmare. This coupler is by far the best invention EVER and a absolute blessing to my back. I had no idea that it could be so easy to hook and unhook a trailer. I HIGHLY recommend this coupler to anyone with a trailer. I am not a paid reviewer, I’m just another guy like any of you but I can’t praise this thing enough!!!!



by:

Sturdy and easy to use now that it's in stalled.

Holding up just fine to our typical utility trailer wear and tear.



by:

Most user friendly trailer coupler I've ever used. No more fighting ball latch with this coupler!



by:

Excellent product. Fit great. Good quality. Latches good. Overall a big improvement over the existing coupler.



by:

They shipped the wrong order to me. Not the part I ordered. But were very helpful in making it right. Sent me someone elses order.



by:

Just what I needed to make my trailer like a new one.

Absolutely recommend to anyone who wants a secure and easy connection to their hitch. The heavy shroud allows for easier pin locking with less access to thieves to cut the hitch lock & the auto-engage allows you to just lower the coupler onto your ball without lifting up the latch.



by:

It was just as described,it was a perfect replacement for the the old Atwood coupler on my trailer. Thank you for all your help in getting me the correct replacement. Your shipping and tracking excellent.



by:

The coupler that came with our teardrop did the job, but getting hooked up and secure on the ball was a real pain that would take multiple attempts to reposition it before it dropped fully in place. I like the Demco eZ-latch. So much better. I uploaded 3 photos: 1) original coupler, 2) trailer frame with new holes drilled and old holes filled with Bondo, 3) Demco coupler in place. The changeover was very easy.



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:

Very good quality, construction, and finish. This was used to replace a 5000# rated coupler on my RV trailer that was just not strong enough. It has an extra 2-3" of length than the old coupler so make sure your safety chains have enough length to accommodate the extra length. One bonus for me was that the extra length was just enough to allow me to open the back door of my SUV with the trailer hitched (which I couldn't do before). The DEMCO coupler does take a 2 1/2" wide hitch pin /lock which is different than most couplers.



by:

I’m a 75 year old disabled woman who was about to give up traveling due to the efforts to hitch and unhitch my trailer. I got this new hitch installed and it changed my life; it is effortless. I’m on the beach now while a winter storm is raging around the U.S. thank you so much for a hitch that changed my life.



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.



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:

Looks high quality haven't used it yet. Only thing I didn't care for was the top release latch was mounted crooked, I'll take it loose from the bottom realign and tighten it back up. The silver paint looks great .



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.

  • Troubleshooting Coupler Difficulties With A 2015 Jayco Jay Flight 26BHS Travel Trailer
    The Repair Kit for etrailer and Ram A-Frame Couplers # CA-5100-RK only fits the following couplers # CA5100B, CA-5100-BLB, and # CA-5100-Z, so it would not solve your connection difficulty, unless you had one of these specific couplers. Aside from lubing the hitch ball the only other solution would be to replace your coupler with an easier coupling design like the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch # DM14793-97 or the weld-on version # DM14791-97.

  • What Does No Lockout Mean On the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler
    The lockout feature does not apply to fixed trailer couplers such as the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole part # DM14793-97. The lockout feature only applies to surge brake actuators and the ability to close the proportioning valve so that the trailer can reverse without locking up the brakes.

  • 2 inch Hitch Ball Coupler Recommendation for 1962 Airstream Camper
    I really like how easy to use and consistent the Demco EZ latch couplers are like the part # DM14793-97 which is for a 2 inch ball. While most couplers get difficult to use over time the EZ latch couplers hold up really well and are easy to use.

  • Dimensions of Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler DM14793-97
    The Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM14793-97 is designed for a standard a-frame trailer with a 50 degree angle. This is the most common type so there really shouldn't be any other issues that affect fit. That said, I have attached some measurements below: Overall Length: 17-5/8" Bolt Hole Spacing: 3" Width of Inside at Back: 10-3/4" Height: 3-1/4" I have also attached a photo below with some of these listed above and more.

  • What Hardware Is Required To Install The Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # 14793?
    The Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-97 will require six 1/2" grade 5 bolts with correct washers and nuts to ensure a secure installation. The length of the bolt will be determined by the size of the frame rail that you are mounting to. I have included a video linked below for a similar coupler being installed that will help you through the installation process. These bolts and the rest of the hardware needed can be purchased at a local hardware store.

  • Can Primed Demco A-Frame Coupler be Welded to Trailer
    Yes the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-97 could be welded instead of bolting it to the trailer. Instead though I would recommend the # DM14793-52 which isn't primed so would be a bit easier to weld.
    view full answer...
  • Can Primed Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler be Painted
    Yes, the primed finish means you can paint over the red Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler with Jack Hole # DM14793-97. This coupler, as well as the black # DM14793-81 are A-frame couplers with a 10,000 lb capacity and attach to a 2" hitch ball. If you need a lock as well the best option is the etrailer Adjustable Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # e98883. I've added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
