• How To Choose Between Yoke Style or Flat Lip Style Coupler Lock From ICON Locks
  Dan, it’s all about the latch design. The ICON # AL33DQ is shaped for yoke-style couplers which have a latch that pivots on a pin that goes through the coupler and latch, while the # AL26DQ is for flat-lip couplers which are exactly as it sounds - they have a bigger flat lip around the coupler where the ball sits. Both have the same radial fins and anti-drill lock core, so security is identical. It just depends on the shape. Do you know which latch type your trailer has?

• What Makes Alter ICON Trailer Coupler Locks Better Than Other Options?
  Pam, good question. The big differences are: patented radial fins that block grinders up to 5", one-piece hardened steel (not welded), an anti-drill face that spins drill bits, and a disc-detainer key that’s almost impossible to pick. It’s the only trailer lock lineup designed to resist power tools, not just hammers and bolt cutters. All in all, I'd spend the money on this bad boy if you have an expensive trailer with expensive equipment in it, or just want to make sure you have the best...

• Which Lock Will Fit Rockwood Popup Camper With 2" Ball Yoke Style Coupler Latch?
  Sean, you’ve got the right one. Yoke-style couplers with the horseshoe latch don’t always match up with universal locks, but the # AL33DQ was designed to fit that exact profile. And since it’s made from one solid block of hardened steel, you don’t have to worry about welds being a weak point. Do you park your Rockwood in a busy area?

• Will ICON Yoke Coupler Lock On Fit A Flat Lip Coupler On Boat Trailer As Well?
  Bryan, yes, most likely. ICON locks are not usually one-size-fits-all as they try to make them as custom fit and specific as possible for best fitment and best theft-protection, unlike universal locks that can normally be busted open easier. The # AL33DQ is for yoke-style horseshoe latches, while the # AL26DQ is for flat-lip couplers. 2. Same ball size, but different latch designs. Both have the same anti-grinder fins and disc-detainer keys. Do you plan on swapping couplers soon, or just...

• Can I Use Yoke Style Lock AL33DQ On Flat Lip Trailer Coupler?
  Dustin, no, not usually since the shapes of those couplers and locks are different. The # AL33DQ is only for yoke-style. For a 2 inch flat-lip, you’d want the # AL26DQ instead. Both locks are equally strong, with the same radial fins and anti-drill face, but you’ll need the right geometry for a snug fit. Do you know which latch style yours is? If not, send a pic to this email and I'll check it out for you. Or you can look at this very high tech ai image on this page if that helps at all haha.

• Do Alter Icon Trailer Coupler Locks Add Tongue Weight To Trailer? How Much Do They Weigh?
  Olivia, each ICON weighs around 20lbs depending on the model. That heft is what makes them tough to tamper with. You’ll notice the weight when you lift it, but once installed on the coupler, it doesn’t affect anything. And it gets removed obviously when you tow the trailer, so it won't be adding tongue weight or anything like that (unless you throw it in a tool box at the front of the trailer or in the bed of your truck behind the rear axle - then it would count towards tongue weight). Do...

• Can ICON Trailer Coupler Locks Be Keyed Alike With One Key For Multiple Locks?
  Victor, at this time the ICON line - like the 2" flat lip lock # AL26DQ and 2" yoke style lock # AL33DQ - are all keyed unique for maximum security. Each lock comes with a disc-detainer key that can’t be picked easily, and no two locks share a key. That way, if a thief ever somehow got a key, it wouldn’t open your whole fleet. Do you have multiple drivers swapping trailers, or do you mainly use them yourself? And do you know if you have a flat coupler or yoke style with latch and pin...

• Looking For Best Lock For Flat Or Horseshoe Style Coupler On 6x10 Enclosed Cargo Trailer 2" Ball
  Frank, yes, that’s the exact application the # AL26DQ covers. Flat-lip couplers are common on enclosed cargo rigs, and this lock sits over the lip, blocking the ball cavity completely. Since enclosed trailers often carry valuable tools or bikes, it’s worth the added protection of ICON’s hardened steel body. One thing to make sure is that you don't have the yoke (horseshoe) tyle latch on your coupler. If you have an A-Frame coupler like in the photo I attached, you'd instead need # AL33DQ. Do...

• 14 Foot Fishing Boat Trailer With Old Fulton 2" Coupler And Latch With Pin. What Lock Fits It?
  Carl, yes, the # AL33DQ was built for those horseshoe-style yoke couplers like you are describing. A lot of small boat trailers use them, and most universal locks don’t really grab right. This ICON style blocks ball entry and covers the latch perfectly. Do you leave the boat at the marina lot?

• Which ICON Coupler Lock Is Going To Fit A Boat Trailer With 2" Coupler?
  Robert, it comes down to latch style. Most boat trailers run yoke-style 2inch couplers, so the # AL33DQ is usually the right choice. If yours has that squared flat lip, the # AL26DQ would fit better (this is more common on bigger trailers). Both use stainless hardware and weather-sealed lock faces, so they hold up well around water. You can always show me a picture of your setup and I can narrow it down for you! Do you store long-term at the marina or just weekends?
