This coupler pin lock ensures that your trailer is securely hitched and helps keep it safe from theft while being stored. With this lock, you won't have to carry an additional key - it codes to your vehicle's ignition key.

Specs:
Note: BOLT locks permanently code to only 1 vehicle. They cannot be re-coded or re-keyed.
Are you tired of carrying a bulky ring of keys - for your hitch lock and coupler lock, your pickup cover or trailer door, and all the various padlocks securing your equipment? Tired of fumbling for the right key or having to replace a lost key?
BOLT (Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology) has solved that problem by designing a line of locks that can operate with a key you already have handy - your vehicle ignition key.
When you insert your own key into the cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down until they are matched exactly to that key. The first time the key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. When the key is turned again, it will rotate to the unlocked position.
BOLT is particularly useful in commercial applications. Imagine being able to send a crew without having to sign out multiple keys for a work truck, trailer, hitch pins, and equipment locks. With BOLT, the vehicle key becomes a master key. It opens all those locks and you no longer have the hassle of getting to a work site only to find that you've brought the wrong keys.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Bolt trailer coupler lock. Now, this is gonna be used in place of your standard pin on your trailer coupler to help prevent theft of your trailer. This will work on your trigger latch style or lever latch style ball couplers. This does have a 5/16th inch diameter of pin that will allow the lock to slide back and forth along the pin to accommodate couplers ranging in size from a 1/2 inch up to 3 and 3/8ths of an inch. The little notches here allow the lock to lock-in in increments of 1/8th of an inch.
So you are gonna get a nice snug fit no matter what the diameter of your coupler is. This lock does use your vehicle's ignition key. The first time you use it, you'll put your key in there, twist it around and that will code the lock to your key. So you'll always have the right key with you, you won't have to worry about having a special, other key for your lock. Just use your ignition key.
This is designed specifically to code to your 2021 and newer Ford F-150's ignition key. So once you get that ignition key put in there and coded, the lock is gonna be permanently coded to that vehicle's key. You won't be able to recode it or re-key the lock here, so be sure that you're using the right key for you. If you ever change vehicles in the future, you'll have to get a different one. This does have a nice heavy duty construction with security features to ensure that it's gonna be a theft deterrent for you.
The plate tumbler sidebar prevents picking and/or bumping. The lock's automatically going to lock when the key is removed. The double ball bearing locking mechanism inside is gonna be very, very secure for you. It does have nice weatherproof, automotive quality construction. A stainless steel pin that's gonna be very durable and rustproof.
The lock is also a stainless steel, so it's gonna have a shutter to help keep out dirt and moisture. And then the outer casing is painted black to resist corrosion. So it's gonna last a nice long time, be very secure for you, help to make sure that your trailer is gonna stay where you want it. This does come with a limited lifetime warranty, so if you we're to have any problems with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. We're always happy to work with our customers to make sure that you're getting good quality products and having a good experience. So, if you have a F-150 and that latch style coupler on your trailer, if you wanna add a little extra security with the convenience of using your F150's ignition key, this is going to be a great option. That's gonna complete our look for it today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Keyed to our 1996 f350 and using on our Demco hitch. Bought this with the plan to weld up some extensions covering the hitch bolts that connect to trailer. Should not be difficult since it is made from steel.
My 2010 Airstream trailer coupler has a curled lip on the collar which widens as you move toward the trailer. The 2-5/16" "ball" fit well as long as I slipped the U ring through the front slot of the red plate. I tried the back slot but the collar was too wide so the pin wouldn't go through. Using the front slot seems like the system will be secure enough but I would prefer using the back slot. The lock works perfectly with my 2014 Tundra key.
I don't have a center cut GM key just yet but my locksmith is hooking me up with an unused that's already been cut that he was using to bring perfection to the center cut key world when they were first introduced. I do know the bolt is the perfect size to replace the snap retainer on the yoke of our Curt 30K 5th wheel hitch to help keep it right where it's supposed to be, which is helping to protect our hitch to keep it from growing legs then strolling off the property. It's really discouraging when considering all the fellow brothers and sisters out there who are scheming, thinking up new ways to attempt to rip us off. I really never pictured 2025 to be so upside-down in the mindset between what's right and what's wrong. In the modern times, absolutely nothing is sacred or safe.
Works well but thought pin a bit long but maybe ok when combined with this complete tongue lock when parked. Again nice that it works with my Toyota tailgate key.
Using on my Aluma car trailer. Fits well and instructions well written. Can even combine with latch pin for added security. Uses my Toyota truck tailgate key as advertised.
I already owned one of these for my boat now I’m putting a second one on my utility trailer and I have one for my trailer hitch on my truck firm believer always nice to have only one key for all my toys
We've tried a TON of different coupler locks for our 2019 Jayco RV with an underslung coupler, and we ended up having to send them all back because they're too narrow. A year or two ago, after giving up on all the other brands from all the other sellers, I got on the phone with an e-trailer rep, and he dug through the available options to find one wide enough, and this one works!
Since it's keyed to the tow vehicle key, and since we sold our previous tow vehicle, I just bought another one because I KNEW it would fit, and it does. So thankful for this lock and for etrailer's help.
Good news is that it works like all B.O.L.T. locks I have with one key. Bad news is that there is no way to seat the cylinder COMPLETELY against the hitch, which leaves a small gap that a thief could get a hacksaw into. Still, the pros outweigh the cons.
Easy to use, works perfectly gets rid of unnecessary keys on ur key ring.
Excellent quality! Superior security! I have Bolt products on boat trailer and cargo trailer. The feature that all my Bolt products are all keyed to my ignition key sure comes in handy!
High quality but didn’t work for me because way too big. Unfortunately, to test, I had to key it.
one key for all my trailer locks
So convenient to be able to use key fob key for hitch pin and coupler lock. No more searching for keys. If you have your vehicle key you have your coupler lock.
Great product and easy to use
Best addition you can add for trailers. I never have to go looking for keys. Had this on my last truck for the receiver and trailer pins. Only gripe is those are now useless.
