Specs:
Note: Tie-down anchors must be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). The weight of the secured cargo must not exceed the combined WLL of the anchors being used. For example, if you are using anchors with a WLL of 100 lbs each to tie down a load weighing 400 lbs, then you need at least 4 anchors to safely secure that load. It is recommended that you always use anchors in pairs.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be getting a good look at, and we're gonna show you how to install, the Brophy Swiveling D-Ring Anchor with Back Plate and hardware. It comes in a quantity of one, with Part Number of RR6K, you can also pick it up ina kit with a quantity of four, Part Number RR6K-4.Put a tie down wherever you need it in your truck bed or trailer. This sturdy steel D-Ring comes with all the hardware you need to install it. It has a 2,000 pound working load limit with a maximum break strength of 6,000 pounds. The D-Ring swivels 350 degrees that way you can hood it up any way you need to.The recessed, low profile design helps prevent the D-Ring from interfering with your cargo. It's made with a zinc plated steel so it's gonna resist rust and corrosion.
Here on the top it's six and five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter. Underneath the backing plate is six and a half inches by six and a half inches wide.I'm using two on my trailer here, but you can pick up as many as you need. First thing you want to do is determine where you want to install it in your trailer. For us it's gonna be right here between the two boards. You're gonna need a four and three quarter inch hole saw.
Ordinarily, if you weren't straddling two boards you could just cut it out normally. But since we're straddling two boards we're gonna use a guide. Now, this is to prevent our bit from moving so we can cut a nice clean hole. If you don't have one you can make one with just some plywood.Now, regardless of which method you choose, we're not cutting all the way through the board. Our anchor is recessed only seven-eighth's of an inch, that's how deep we're gonna go.
Then we're gonna chisel it out. Now, I just marked seven-eighth's of an inch right here on my hole saw. So I'm gonna stop when it gets around this area. Now, when you do this you want to cut with light pressure on your drill. Otherwise it will kick it, and it may hurt.Now as far as chiseling, it doesn't necessarily need to be a wood chisel.
You can even use a flat head screw driver. What I'm gonna do, just hit it slightly in and then start working my way out. Just like that.Once we finish chiseling we can set it back in place and align our holes and drill them out. Now these are gonna go all the way through our floor. I'm gonna go ahead and put my hardware in. So I'll take just the bolt, push it all the way through. On the other side we'll put the lock washer and then the nut. Here underneath, before you attach your place you want to kind of clean up the excess here. Then put our hardware in place. Now if one bolt happened to push through, no problem you can just go back up top push it down through and put the hardware on. Now, we can have somebody go up top with a wrench while we tighten down our hardware. Now if you clean away your scrap you're all set.Now you've had a good look, and you know how to install the Brophy Swiveling D-Ring Anchor with Back Plate and hardware. Speaker 2: So, now that we've seen the video what do you guys think Speaker 3: You know, the swivel feature is really cool. I wonder, though, that if you get trailers, you know, are outside get stuff in there is it gonna mess up the mechanism. I think a cover, some kind of cover for it would have been a nice feature. But, the swivel design I think is really cool. Speaker 5: It's pretty durable. So, I mean maybe something could get in there and kinda keep it. But I think if you added the touch, I would have to agree that it's probably gonna swivel most of the time. There's a lot of play, so for something to get kinda caught in there. Speaker 4: Well, it was designed to be low profile so if you add a cover to that then it takes away from the- Speaker 2: I liked the backing plate part of it. I mean, that makes it when you sandwich it on the . In between pieces of wood it makes a really good tie down point. Makes it a lot better than just going through the wood, or just putting screws down into the wood or something like that. Which I've seen a lot of people do. Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd have to agree with that. Speaker 2: They all corrode and over time, you know, there's nothing you can get away from there, but I think the way that one's made it will continue to swivel properly.So, what features, other than that, do you think are good about this Speaker 5: Well, I like it 'cause it's large. You know, you can get any sort of hooks in there that you need. It's going to, because it swivels it's gonna adapt to whatever angle. Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking. Speaker 5: Which is nice. Speaker 2: If you gotta, if you're tying down a car by the rear axle and you need it to go 45 degrees in towards the center of the axle it's gonna move to that instead of just being a solid lift up tie down that you have to go sideways off of. It pulls more straight line all the time on the ring. Speaker 3: Yeah. That's one thing I was thinking about. Just regular fixed tie down points could put some awkward stress on them. You know, 'cause they don't swivel. You know that kind of solves that issue. Speaker 2: How does this one compare to other tie downs like that Speaker 5: Well this ones harder to install. That was the only downside about it. I think it looks great when it's installed, but if the customer is unfamiliar with how to use . He's gonna have to pick up . I don't know too many people who have the hole saws just handy. So he's gonna have to pick up a few things.There's a few different ways he could install it without a hole saw but it's gonna be very difficult. So, unless he's really interested in the product and wants the versatility. Speaker 2: Yeah. I think another thing I like about it is that backing plate also allows you to install it in, like, a enclosed trailer where you just have a plywood floor. Speaker 5: Yeah. Speaker 2: So you can get it in there and you can still have a really good strong tie down point. Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why there's the hole cut out the backing plate is so if it dips beyond that it will fit through that. Speaker 2: Yeah. So the backing plate can go around the . Yeah, on a thinner surface, yeah. Speaker 3: It's definitely one of the larger ones that we have. Speaker 2: For bigger tie downs and things, yeah. Okay. Thanks for your time guys.

If you have the correct tools (specifically a 4 1/2" round blade cutter [door knob hole cutter], you have it made!! My nephew had all of the necessary tools, and it was a piece of cake! These swivel D-rings are an EXCELLENT buy. I am ordering two more (already have 6), and they are perfect for my ATV trailer. I moved the crummy ones the manufacturer put on the deck to other points, just to have more tied-down spots for much lighter objects like tarps and covers and things. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You will not be disappointed. (Put these on an aluminum ATV trailer, 7x12'. Rear and side load mount.) 444626
Well made product, quick shipping, great customer service once again. I used a router with a mortise bit to get a round and flat bottomed hole to install the hold-downs. Much cleaner than the "use a hole saw and screwdriver out the chunks" install shown on the video. Only issue is that the kits come with regular bolts. Should have carriage bolts to allow loaded material to slide across the top of the folded tie downs. 595885
Product works well. 633271
Would be nice if floor plate was designed to accept more flush mounted carriage bolts. Am using the tie downs on the inside of a cargo trailer that will double as my tent on wheels. Will use a floor rug to cover and keep feet warm. Otherwise excellent product and service. 616473
Easy install / sturdy product 610940
Every product was as expected and has held up accordingly. 610916
These tie downs are very well built and perform as expected. Easy installation, just drill out your holes and bolt in. 610557
Great product with easy installation (with the right tools of course). The only thing that disappoints me is after the first use, one of my d-rings has bent VERY slightly, but enough for it not to want to settle back down in the recessed pocket. I used these to tie down a golf cart, so with their weight rating I don’t feel like that should have even come close to being enough to bend the d-rings. 590677
All products purchased this year of high quality your videos on each product outstanding 590165
I have not installed the product yet but I like what I see. High Quality materials were obviously used. Very heavy duty. My only concern is water pooling in tie down cup. We shall see. 573432
These tie down swivels are very heavy duty. We haven’t installled them yet but when we do pictures will follow 543363
Your product worked out great for my trailer. The one thing that I had to change was the bolts. Kit had 2 1/2 inch bolts that were alittle to long because floor only 3/4 inch wood. Still pleased with the kit. 541634
Excellent service and product. Easy to install and all parts were there. 503318

Review from a similar Brophy Swivel D-Ring in Tie Down Anchors
Added these to my trailer so I could secure our side x sides separately. They are an exact match to the ones installed from the factory by Kiefer on our trailer. Rated for 6000 lbs. and appear to be very capable. I will definitely do business with etrailer again as they answered all my questions and were very helpful picking out a weight distribution hitch for my set up as well. Thanks etrailer! 217399

Review from a similar Brophy Swivel D-Ring in Tie Down Anchors
Called customer service because I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted. Talked to Molly and she pointed me in the exact direction I wanted to go. She even helped me save some money by not buying the kit with the hardware because I wanted to use stainless steel carriage bolts for a flush finish on top. Only modification I had to make was drill the holes out bigger on tie down to except the square shank on the carriage bolt. 553031
Review from a similar Brophy Swivel D-Ring in Tie Down Anchors
I don't know why no one else has reviewed this kit yet, but in any case I am sending mine back because of the lack of carriage bolts. I had watched the install video of the 5K version which has carriage bolts (and square holes). I prefer the design of these, but wish they were about 2/3rds the size and came with square holes and carriage bolts. The steel is really thick, so filing square holes by hand is a chore (I tried with a Dremel tool also). Who wants to deal with sharp hex bolts sticking up to snag everything when done? Not me. Too much hassle to fix more than a couple of them by hand. FYI the included bolts are 5/16" x 2.25" zinc-plated hex heads. 121844
Review from a similar Brophy Swivel D-Ring in Tie Down Anchors
Tie-down rings installed easily and are more sturdy and heavy duty than I expected. The swivel is nice as it makes the anchorage more versatile. Plus they look great. 126457
Ive now hauled a couple vehicles in the trailer, utilizing these anchors. I would definitely buy again, and as a matter of fact I am planning to get a few more to install. I just need a few more so I have more tie-down options.
Dustin D - 04/22/2015Review from a similar Brophy Swivel D-Ring in Tie Down Anchors
These things are huge. Fit and finish are better than expected. I received a complete order down to every nut and lock washer. I couldn’t find this style and load rating anywhere else. Very pleased. I used a 4 1/2” hole saw, works perfectly....not sure why the instructional video calls for 4 3/4” 636806

Review from a similar Brophy Swivel D-Ring in Tie Down Anchors
Bought these tie downs to install on a new utility trailer I purchased for hauling my motorcycle around. I would have given them 5 stars but the installation was a little more of a pain than I thought it would be. If you are not comfortable with using a router, you might be better off buying a different setup or using a buddy to help install. Otherwise, these are great tie downs. 628404
Review from a similar Brophy Swivel D-Ring in Tie Down Anchors
I purchased these swiveling D-rings to install on my gooseneck trailer for strapping down vehicles and other items that are awkward to strap using the D-rings on the rub rails. I haven’t installed them yet but the product likes to be good quality. I like how it’s a complete package with the hardware and the backing plate included. The only thing I would change is that I’d rather have carriage bolts instead of regular hex bolts just to have a smoother finish, but I’m overly picky. The only reason I gave the D-rings a 4 star rating is b/c I haven’t installed or used them yet. I received my package in a timely manner and everything was packaged nicely. I have had good luck so far with using Etrailer.com and would recommend them to anyone. 597872

Review from a similar Brophy Swivel D-Ring in Tie Down Anchors
Product is fine not a single thing wrong with it. That said it was the manner in which the order was shipped and the packaging. Heavy metal items with sharp corners were placed unwrapped or retained in a box with soft and polished plastic finish, absurd! I got lucky, the plastic cover on the Weathertech items protected them from damage. Longer shipping they would have not made it. 388174

Review from a similar Brophy Swivel D-Ring in Tie Down Anchors
Brophy swiveling D ring tie downs are pretty awesome. Super heavy duty, really like the Swivel design. By having the freedom of movment the ancor is never in a bind, at any angle and tension is pulled evenly from any direstion. The matching backing plates are a must as far as I'm concerned. Installation was easy. All holes on the backing plates ligned up well. No issues. I will give it up to etrailer.com also for the fast shipping. It means alot when you have a project going on. Over all satisfied with my purchase. 308458
