Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this etrailer 1/4" Diameter Trailer Coupler Latch Lock with the 2-3/4" span. Now this coupler lock here will secure the latch on your trailer's coupler to prevent theft of your trailer. And just to show you we're talking about, I'm gonna pop up an insert. You can see there's a coupler, and you can see how this lock goes through there and keeps that latch from opening. Basically, the trailer can't be removed from your tow vehicle when it's locked onto the ball, and also would be thieves can't secure your unhitch trailer to their tow vehicle with this coupler lock either.
Now it is a tamper resistant design, has a conical shape housing, which ensures a nice tight fit against the coupler latch. Has a pick proof screw and lock mechanism, provides security. If you notice right here on this end, there's a nice rubber end. And then on this end is a textured lock core. Makes it very easy to grip the lock.
You can see it has a nice rubber cover here that'll cover the key slot to help prevent internal corrosion. Just to show you how it opens, it's a, as we mentioned, it's a screw and lock mechanism. So you take your, comes with two keys, take your key, stick it in there, and then you just start turning your key, like you're unscrewing a bolt. And after you turn it there, the lock core will come out just like that. And now your pin is able to slide through the opening, and then put your lock on the other end.
Is a sturdy steel construction, has a nice chrome finish to resist rust and corrosion. And then to install it, once you slide it through the hole on your coupler, put this back on there. Once you get it in there, line it up and then just go ahead and start turning your key like you're tightening it down, and after a few turns, then it gets tightened down all the way. There you go, it's tight, tighten it up. You might have to back it off a little bit to take the key out.
Put your cup or your cover on there to cover the lock and it's locked into place, nobody's gonna access your latch. Now the locks can be key to like to match other etrailer locks. Basically if you go on a product page, you can select the key to like from the dropdown menu on the product page, and then just enter the number of locks into the quantity box that you need. This part is made in the USA. Again, this will fit on trigger latch style, our lever latch style ball couplers. A few dimensions on this I wanna give you, the overall length from one end to the other, it's right at 6-1/4". We mentioned the pin diameter is a quarter of an inch, and the important part is the inside pin length or the span. In other words, sometimes on some of the couplers, it'll have to go the whole span of the coupler. So you do wanna make sure this measurement is critical to fit on your coupler and that measurement on this one on the inside span is 2-3/4" for the usable length. But again, we're gonna go ahead and show you one more time. Take one of your keys, insert it into there. And then again, just start twisting your key like you're unscrewing and you can feel the lock core moving out. And once you get it unscrewed enough, it'll fall right off, just like that. And then to install it, insert that through the hole, line it up with your lock, and then just start twisting it like you're tightening a bolt. And again, once you get it all the way tightened like that, just back it off, take your key out, put your cover on and you're all locked ready to go. But that's gonna do it for the review on the etrailer 1/4" Diameter Trailer Coupler Latch Lock with the 2-3/4" span.

Ratings & Reviews
The only time this is not installed is when I'm actually hooking up/disconnecting the trailer. It has not shown any sign of rust and the key lock works easily. Love the fact that most products have videos. Very helpful in choosing the correct product.
Great service and quick shipping. It is great to have all of my couplers keyed alike.
Works great. No issues after owning this for a year.
I had called customer service to explain what kind of product I was looking for and she referred me to the trailer coupler lock item#e98886. This was a perfect match to fit my needs. I ordered two (keyed alike) to have one as a spare.
For over a year I've used this keyed alike trailer latch lock with three larger hitch locks in extended desert and winter weather both on and off road. It is great that all are keyed alike so I only have one key for four locks! This lock, as the other hitch locks, still locks/unlocks smoothly. I do wish eTrailer would offer heavy duty exterior weatherproof padlocks that could be keyed alike with these hitch locks. That way one key would work for all the hitches, storage shed, propane tank compartment, battery compartment, boat motor chain, boat storage compartment, bicycle lock, gate lock, tool box lock...that's a bunch of locks I'd buy again if I could get quality locks all keyed alike. Money burning a hole in my pocket.
Product works as decribed. Well made. Only thing I dont like is how the lock parts must be threaded together with the key in the lock. I'm concerned the rubber dust cover will be torn off by my keys getting in the way.
I’ve been using this lock on my bike rack every day for a year now. It’s been over a variety of terrain and all kinds is weather, hot, freezing and wet. No rust. No problems. It works flawlessly.
It is great that you can get several keyed alike. One key for several vehicles. The shaft is too short and does not fit the hitch lock on at least one of my trialers. Measure everything three times and buy once.
Just what I need to keep my trailer and spare tire in place, thanks.
Quick release locks would be better than having to turn the key for multiple turns. Hooking up to trailers and unhooking several times a week becomes a pain with these locks. Otherwise the locks are holding up.
Couple latch lock works perfectly. I saw that some were complaining about the rubber cap getting in the way while unscrewing or screwing it on to lock. If you just open the cap and let it spin freely, it works just fine. I would recommend this product for wider tongue latches. I will buy another one if this ever wears out!!
Great product. Customer service has been excellent from first contact, making it a pleasure to do business. Good service, good products, great people. Thank you!
Great service. When lock arrived with incorrect key, a new lock was sent out same day and was not required to return the incorrectly key lock.
I use this when pulling our teardrop camper. Works great, and I would buy it again because I like it that much. Thanks
Quick shipping and exactly as described
This is the only lock I could find that spans 2 3/4 inches! It works perfectly for my trailer and the design makes using bolt cutters to break it nearly impossible.
Absolutely awesome service!
I have been using this locking pin for a boat trailer with brakes and it works great. Other pins I have used are not strong and bend under load, but this one does not. This is the real deal.
Easy to shop and it was the right fit.
Thanks for keeping me informed as to shipping and arrival.
Awsome product!
