Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the Latch Repair Kit for Dexter Multi-Fit Couplers and Brake Actuators
Hello, everybody. This is Jeff from etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this latch repair kit for the Dexter multi-fit couplers and brake actuators. Now this kit here will let you repair a damaged hitch ball latch assembly on your coupler or actuator. This part will work with the Dexter multi-fit couplers and trailer brake actuators and it will also fit the Dico and Demco Model 60 hydraulic actuators. These parts are a cast construction with a nice zinc finish.
The kit will include everything laid out here on the table. It'll include the hand wheel, the hand wheel lock, the ball latch, the ball latch spring, bracket retainer, a hex bolt, the hex screw, and then the two hex nuts. Now the size on the hex bolt is three and a half inches long, which is measured from under the head to the end of the bolt. So if we put a ruler on that, there's your three and a half inch measurement. The diameter is a half inch diameter and on the screw it is two and five-eighths inches long and a seven-16th's diameter.
But that should do it for the review on the latch repair kit for the Dexter multi-fit couplers and brake actuators.

Inexpensive and weather durable. They fit the old U-Haul trailer hitch well. They can also fit the previous hitch tongue if the new order is sized with the appropriate pin size.

I was very happy with the part, but what I found more beneficial was the video to assemble this.
The video was in the description.
Thank for the fast service, quality parts, and very helpful video instructions.

2004 Shorelander trailer used exclusively in salt water on Tampa Bay.
The spring finally rusted out. I decided to put in the kit and it was an easy job. The replacement parts are good quality and fit perfectly. I'll plan to use the same kit on the next rebuild 25 years from now!

Fit perfectly once I figured out how to assemble it. However, to reach a 5 star Instructions would have had been included

I would give 10 stars but only 5 were available…. Quality, price,, product availability, packaging, and fast shipping. What else could anyone ask for? I will definitely purchase from here again. Thank you.

This product is exactly what I needed to replace the worn and rusted latch mechanism on our trailer. The self locking nut makes a nice replacement for the cutter pin and nut previously used.

This didn't come with the hog ring to keep the know from spinning all the way off and Threaded bolt for knob wasn't drilled for hog ring. I Had to reuse my original bolt and put a cotter pin in it.

5/22/2023
I reached out to Dexter about the experience with the kit and they advised that the hog ring is included with the kit as well as that the bolt should be long enough. They are sending the parts to me and once I have them, I can have them sent to you.

The hitch replacement parts saved me from having to change my hitch setup. An rv store in Montana was not aware of you when they for us. They should. You are a great source for older trailers like our 1960 Airstream. Got the parts quickly and were exactly as ordered.

Great It saved me. I couldn't find the parts any where. I searched for 2 days on the web then a neighbor told me to check with you. You had the parts with a little looking. Didn't have to weld in a new hitch. Thanks

Product worked as described. I used this item on a dico model 60 hitch coupler. Instead of the c clip I used a cotter pin.

- Replacement Latch Kit for a Dico 60 Hydraulic ActuatorThe correct replacement latch kit you will want to use on your Dico 60 Hydraulic Actuator is the Latch Repair Kit # T4335800. I have attached an installation video of this kit for you as well.
view full answer... - Are There Instructions For The Dexter Multi-Fit Coupler Latch Repair Kit # T4045400? As Dexter does not offer any installation for their Latch Repair Kit # T4045400 the only thing I can offer you is the image below which shows the assembly order. As you may notice one nut and bolt is not shown in the image as they are used as the hinge bolt.
view full answer... - Replacement Coupler Latch for a Multi-Fit CouplerHey, Mike. Based off what your describing it sounds like you have a multi-fit coupler. We don't have just the bolt by itself but there are repair kits, part # T4045400. There's not that many couplers that are like this so not too common. A more common type of coupler latch would be part # CT-3000-RK. Below are pictures of a multi-fit coupler and a standard type of coupler. Are there any other projects you're working on, on your trailer?

view full answer... - Repair Kit and Replacement Coupler for Dico Model 60 Actuator CouplerIf you want a repair kit to let you rebuild your Dico Model 60 actuator you can use kit # T4045400. For a new coupler you can use the Demco bolt-on hydraulic drum actuator # DM72VR which fits a 2-inch ball. This coupler bolts on to a 3-inch channel tongue.
view full answer... - Replacement Coupler for a Titan Model 60 7k lb. Surge Brake Actuator We do have the replacement parts you are needing for your Titan Model 60 7k lb. sure brake actuator.

view full answer... - Coupler Repair Kit for Dico Model 60 ActuatorsWe actually have a coupler repair kit that is designed for Dico model 60 actuators. You will need repair kit # T4045400. This kit is very similar to the one that you referenced but it is made for the Dico model 60 rather than Titan multi-fit couplers. But, you could use either one.
view full answer... - Latch Repair Kits For Titan Coupler and ActuatorsI contacted Dexter Axle since they acquired Titan and they have not heard of the Titan series 80 actuator or coupler. The Repair Kit for Titan Couplers and Trailer Brake Actuators - 2-5/16" Ball part # T1848700 is the correct latch repair kit for the model 10, 20, some of the 60 series with 2-5/16 ball coupler. The most popular series is the model 60, if you have the multi-fit model 60 the correct repair kit is Latch Repair Kit for Titan Multi-Fit Couplers and Brake Actuators part #...

We no longer offer their repair kits but we can help you with a new coupler. For a new straight-tongue coupler you can use the linked page to view all such items we offer, such as the Titan Multi-Fit # T2343400183 which bolts to a 3-inch trailer tongue and which fits 1-7/8-inch, 2-inch and 50-mm hitch balls. This 5K coupler is also zinc-plated for resistance to corrosion. For a painted version use part # T2343400. For...
view full answer... - Do All Trailer Coupler Latch Repair Kits Fit All CouplersThere are quite a few A-frame style couplers out there so without more info I really couldn't confidently say if the repair kit part # T4045400 would work for you or not. If you see Dexter or UFP on the coupler and it's a multi fit style coupler with the knob like what this repair kit has it's probably correct though. The most straightforward solution would be a new coupler like the part # CA-5210-B to replace what you have now though as that would eliminate any guesswork and would give...
view full answer... - Latch Repair Kit for Titan Model 60 Multi-Fit With Latch Stuck in PlaceSince it sounds like the latch is the source of the problem you will want to replace it with a repair kit. The correct repair kit for your Titan Model 60 Multi-Fit coupler is the Latch Repair Kit for Titan Multi-Fit Couplers and Brake Actuators # T4045400. This will allow you to replace all of the components of the latch so your coupler functions as intended. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
view full answer... - Repair Kit for Titan Zinc-Plated Coupler # T2343400183I spoke with my contact at Titan, and he said that your Zinc-Plated Coupler # T2343400183 with the handwheel and the Titan Leverlock Coupler # T4845000 are manufactured differently, so the mechanisms are not interchangeable. You will not be able to use the leverlock mechanism to replace the handwheel assembly on your coupler. We do have the Titan Latch Repair Kit # T4045400 that will allow you to repair the handwheel latching mechanism on your existing unit. The kit includes the lock...

view full answer... - Repair Kit for Dico Channel Tongue Trailer CouplerIf it happens to be a Dico model 60 brake actuator then you can use repair kit # T4045400. Other than this repair kit the only other models we have with the hand wheel latch are # F520801 and # F620801 for Fulton couplers.
view full answer... - Repair Kit Recommendation for a Titan Multi-Fit Trailer Coupler ActuatorBased on what you described it sounds like you need the Latch Repair Kit # T4045400 for your Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T43397007K as this comes with the nut and latch that you have broken.
