I rated it excellent because for its simple but elegant design. I like the round type of key. By turning the locking part around it eliminated any slop. Pretty nice piece.
by:
Lock was a replacement for an old one. This one works but the key/lock mechanism was a bit sticky. Fixed it with some lubricant. E-Trailer shipping was great and arrived on expected date.

Works just fine after a year

by:
The lock is perfect for our boat trailer
by:
peice of damn junk it's a nightmare to get on and off
by:
This will probably only stop the honest people. The grooves in the shank of the pin would seem to substantially weaken it. It also makes for less grinding or cutting for a thief. If that shank is hardened to resist cutting, it will likely be brittle and snap. Being stainless steel will help that some. I couldn’t close it enough to cover the groove but some adjustment with a hammer may fix that.
by:
Unfortunately, I cannot evaluate because I did not use the lock. I did test it on our trailer and found it very easy to use.
by:
Versatile! This is a adjustbale and will fit a few different trailers I tow. It's stainless stell too.
by:
This product is amazing. Works perfectly with my boat trailer and is made of very high quality materials and finishes. Since it’s adjustable it can accommodate different trailer widths. I feel safe when this is locked and secured on my trailer. I would highly recommend this product.
by:
Supposedly an adjustable lock but only works on the largest setting which means if you have something smaller it leaves it vulnerable to bolt cutters. Virtually worthless because of this

I like your honesty. It is a sad fact that any lock can be defeated if a person is determined enough. We consider the locks to be a theft deterrent against an easy theft.

by:
We had bought these before for another trailer. Liked them so much we needed them again for a another trailer. Great product. Fast shipper.

Great. We liked them so much we got again for an additional trailer. No complaints. Would definitely recommend

by:
The lock fits my application, but having a difficult time getting it to lock into the right groove, can get it every time on the one that is just to small. Going to play with it some more and see if I can figure out the trick
by:
Shipping and communication was timely and accurate. Very easy to do business.
by:
Just another layer of security for my trailer when parked and in transit
by:
keeps my trailer locked up, cant trust the thieves!
by:
Fits well and communication with etrailer has been great.
by:
Works as advertised and will add a deterrent to trailer theft in the area.
by:
Just what i need for the new trailer. Easy to order and got the item quickly
by:
Exactly what I was looking for excellent product

  • Can Blue Ox Trailer Coupler Lock be Keyed Alike with a Hitch Pin Lock
    Hey Jeremy, The Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR is available with a keyed-alike locking hitch pin as the Kit # BLU36XR, but aside from that this smaller pin doesn't have the option to be keyed alike.

  • Does Locking Part of Blue Ox Pin Need to be Unlocked to be Installed
    Hey Ronald, The lock that fits onto the Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR needs to stay unlocked until you get it to the right place, then you'll lock it in place and be good to go! It doesn't "ratchet" on, but that's actually a good thing because it makes the fit more snug.

  • Replacement 1/4" Latch Pin For Buyers Products 50-Ton Pintle Hook # 337BP880
    It sounds like you are looking for the Buyers Products 1/4" Zinc Plated Safety Pin w/ Lanyard # 3373006875 to secure the pintle in place on the Buyers Products 50 Ton Heavy-Duty Swivel Type Pintle Hook # 337BP880. We do have the Coupler Lock # BLU56XR which will latch from 7/8" to 3-1/2" in length if you are looking for an actual locking pin.

  • Keyed Alike Coupler Lock Recommendation with 1/4 Diameter and at least 3-3/8 Span
    The Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR comes as individual lock numbers so for a keyed alike option I recommend checking out the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock # e98888 which has the same specs but is only 1/8" shorter. The etrailer lock can be keyed alike no matter how many you choose to purchase. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Can Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock Be Trimmed?
    If you want to trim off the excess part of the shaft for the Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR you are more than welcome to - I just recommend keeping at least one extra segment in place. Really the only reason to not trim it is for longevity sake. If you end up getting a trailer that requires that part of the lock to be longer then you'll need to purchase a new lock instead of being able to use this same lock. But the call is totally up to you! It is important to note...

  • Should Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock C48CR Rust After 6 Weeks
    The Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Ball Couplers # C48CR should not be rusting after 6 weeks. The lock has an overall lifetime warranty from general defect, but a specific 1-year warrant for its finish. Clearly, this lock is not meeting those standards to I would warranty claim it. I would then go with something that won't corrode, the stainless steel Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR.
