Durable Construction
The lock is constructed of extruded, tempered aluminum, making it strong and durable. The lock housing features a double nickel chrome finish, and the shuttered keyhole protects the inside of the lock from the elements. Complete with a yellow powder coat finish, this high-visibility coupler lock is both sturdy and rust resistant. And the bright color provides additional theft deterrent.
Quick, Simple Operation
To install this lock on your coupler, insert the key and rotate it to release the locking pin. Slide the lock body onto the flat lip of your trailer coupler. Push the locking pin into the hitch ball socket to engage, rotate the key back to lock the pin in place, and remove the key.

Bought for my travel trailer. Unfortunately our hitch is “stubby” with a “ramp” piece to help guide the ball into the hole better which prevents the lock from sliding far enough on & lock. Decided to keep for use on jetski trailer instead of returning.

I'm really happy with this tongue lock. The hardest part in getting this thing in place was getting it out of the package! No frills, just quality! Thanks etrailer for another great product!

Great looking product. Works as advertised. I think most would-be trailer thieves would keep moving when they notice this lock. However, if the bad guy was motivated and prepared, I don't think this product would put up too big of a fight against a heavy prybar (I don't think a flat prybar would get this off, but a big long round bar prybar/crowbar definitely would). This is good security, not high security.

Very simple design. Probably could be sledge hammered off, but most of the battle is showing up, and this lock puts the word out that it will be annoying to have to deal with, so it's a great deterrent. Easy to install/remove with the key. Have to keep lubed though, as with any lock outside. Paint/coating is great.

I bought two and it has been so nice not grabbing the wrong key since they are both keyed the same and I managed lose all my spare keys but one i was able to call and order two more. While speaking with the lady she was trying to look up my locks to find the key number having the one key just made it simpler. I had faith in her that she would be able to find my key info. I would suggest that you take a picture of your key number or write it down somewhere you will be able to remember to simplify your order

Ordered two keyed alike, if anyone has multiple trailers this is the way to go with one key fits all. I ordered two so I would have one for my toy hauler and gave one to my son for his travel trailer. We don’t need to worry about having keys available if one of us needs to move the others with this application. The lock fits great and seems like a secure lock to deter anyone with ill ideas.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Tongue Lock
- Looking for Keyed Alike Trailer Coupler LockHey John, we can help but the Masterlock trailer lock that you referenced cannot be keyed alike. Instead we have the similar etrailer trailer lock part # e98895 which can be keyed alike. What coupler do you have on your trailer?
view full answer... - Can Deadbolt Hitch Lock # 40107 be Keyed Alike to Coupler LockYes, if you select "keyed alike" on the product page for the hitch lock part # e98882 and on the page for the coupler lock part # e98895 you'll get both the coupler and hitch locks keyed alike. If you had a different coupler lock in mind you'd be able to do the same thing to have it keyed the same as the # e98882.
view full answer... - Can you Get the etrailer Coupler Lock # e98895 Keyed to the Same Key if you Buy MultipleHello Danny. Yes, the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip 2-5/16" Ball Coupler - Aluminum - Yellow # e98895 can be keyed alike. On the product page above add to cart there is a keyed option, you want to select the "keyed alike" option. By doing so, all the units will be keyed alike for a small fee. Since you are buying multiple, you can always fill out a price quote, here is the link to do so: https://www.etrailer.com/accounts/PriceQuote.aspx
view full answer... - Recommended Coupler Lock For An Aluma 7812 Utility TrailerHey Mark, I'm assuming you're wanting a coupler lock for your trailer? If so, I recommend going with either the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock - Flat Lip 1-7/8" and 2" Ball Couplers # e98897 or the # e98895 if you have a 2-5/16" coupler. This aluminum body coupler locks mount in place of a ball so that no one can take off with your trailer. You will want to check your coupler first to make sure it has a flat bottom so that the locks can fit. If not, let me know and I can look for an alternative.
view full answer... - Can Key be Replaced for Gorilla Guard Trailer Coupler LockHey Paul, A while back we used to carry the replacement keys for the Gorilla Coupler Lock 63227, but a number of years ago the manufacturers stopped making them for aftermarket consumers. You might be able to get a replacement directly from Horizon Global (https://www.horizonglobal.com/contact), but I'm not confident they still service the keys. An alternative solution would be to use one of our etrailer locks like the part # e98895 which is an in-house product so we can help you out...
view full answer... - Do You Have A Trailer Hitch Lock And Coupler Lock That Can Be Keyed Alike?Hey Trey, We do have an option for what you are looking for. It all comes down to what size ball coupler you have so you will have to let me know so I pin point the right part for you. Our trailer hitch lock # e98881 and coupler lock # e98895 can be keyed alike to each other so you just need to worry about having 1 set of keys. The coupler lock is for a 2-5/16" ball coupler, but we do have alternate sizes depending on what you have. The trailer hitch pin will work with any class V hitch....
view full answer... - Recommended Coupler Lock for Curt Channel-Mount CouplerBased on the lip on the Curt Channel-Mount Coupler - Squeeze Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 15,000 lbs # C25328 you will be unable to use the # e98895. The # e87ZR might fit, but I would question how secure it is once again based on the lip on that coupler. Instead, I would recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-316. This is a universal lock that will secure over the top of the coupler and uses a bolt-blocked locking system to prevent...
view full answer... - Coupler Locks For 2-5/16" Trailer Coupler With a 4-1/2" Wide Flat Lip We have a few options for your coupler with a 4-1/2" lip. The etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock # e98895 is a good lock. From there we move up to the better Trimax Dual Purpose Coupler Lock # TMX67FR which uses a hardened steel construction. The AMPLock Trailer Coupler Lock # AMP74FR is our best lock as it uses a cast iron construction and a rotating-disc-tumbler lock to prevent picking.

- Lock For Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2 Inch BallThere are a couple of different ways you can lock the Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2" Ball, either with a standard coupler lock, or you can use a 1/2 inch diameter hitch pin lock, since that is the same size as the pin and clip (though you should always use the pin and clip that come with the coupler when towing and not a lock). So to lock it you can use any of the following options, depending on what you prefer: - etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip 1-7/8" and 2"...
view full answer... - What Coupler Lock do you Recommend for my Demco 2-5/16 EZ-Latch CouplerFor your Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # DM13203-52 I recommend using the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock part # e98888. This is designed to place through the coupler pin hole just under the latch and keep it from being able to operate. This will prevent it from opening or closing eliminating any issues. If you want complete coupler coverage the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip 2-5/16" Ball Coupler part # e98895 is an excellent choice. They are both very easy...
view full answer... - Compatibility Of etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock e98895 With Coupler Having Guide LipI took some measurements off the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock # e98895 that will help you to determine if this will fit your coupler. The maximum width of the coupler tongue channel is 4-1/2" wide, and 2-3/4" deep. The locking pin is 1-3/4" from the edge of the insert or 1" from the end of the coupler. The lip thickness must be under 5/16" to fit properly.

- Recommended Coupler Lock For A 4-1/2" Wide Flat Lip CouplerWe do have the etrailer coupler lock # e98895 which is made to fit a flat lip coupler up to 4-1/2" wide. This may be a very tight fit if you are right at 4-1/2". If you want to avoid any potential fitment issues, I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML377KA. The design allows this lock to fit virtually any coupler with a flat lip, regardless of width. As you can see from the picture below, the lock does not "surround" the entire coupler, so it will undoubtedly work for you....

- How to Use the etrailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip CouplersI can absolutely explain how the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for your flat lip coupler works, and it is extremely simple. What happens is you will slide the lock over your flat lip coupler, and push the pin up - it won't take any strength at all, you can do it with a finger. With the pin up, just turn the key and you're done; it's locked to the coupler. When you want to remove it, turn the key in the opposite direction and the pin will come down. That's literally all there is to it!...

- Trailer Coupler Lock for a U-Haul 5x8 Enclosed TrailerThere isn't much information on what size coupler the U-Haul trailers use. However, they state they are compatible with 1-7/8" and 2" hitch balls. So, more than likely they use 2" couplers. The 2-5/16" Coupler Lock, part # e98895, will fit on them, but there will probably be quite a bit of play. I recommend going with the smaller version, part # e98897. This one is designed to fit both 1-7/8" and 2" couplers, so it will have a more snug fit around the U-Haul coupler. I've linked to a...

This would provide you with the same kit, but with a yellow slip-on coupler lock.

If you want to secure the trailer when it is not hitched, you can use the etrailer.com Coupler Lock # e98894 or the similar # e98895. Both of these prevent someone from hitching to your coupler. If you prefer a coupler latch lock you can use # 2847DAT from Master Lock. This type of lock works with the trailer coupled or not.

I wish we could match the lock to a set of keys you already have but this is simply not possible from our side of things. Therefore, it would be best to order a few extras if you think you will have multiple trailers. The coupler and pin locks will also both come with the same lock code if ordered together and the...

That sounds like a great solution, Wade. Two GSD's and a good coupler lock should go a long way to protect you from the mayhem caused by the local Crystal Methodists.... If you're up against very determined foes trying to take your stuff, a layered solution works best. The dogs will certainly help, but the coupler lock will as well. Do you have a nearby place you could chain the trailer to? The more obstacles you can put in front of them, the more likely they'll go steal from somebody else. Sad to say that.
