Guard against trailer theft with this durable steel, butterfly-style coupler lock. Works with most ball couplers that have trigger-style latches. Chrome plating resists corrosion, and the unique ball-bearing locking mechanism provides extra security.
It is very easy on and off. fits well and the rubber cap cover for the key slot is a nice idea. Because it's so compact and fits tightly on the hitch it would be harder for a thief to cut off. It's worth having for the extra feeling of security.
Simple design, dont be fooled, it does the job well, secured trailer in the parking lot with decent lighting. Been on several outfits state travels and I am thankful that the reviews were positive, making my choice to purchase this easier. No issues of it being in open weather with its cover,opens every time. No rust to be found. In all, it provides a level of security for my trailer or at least make it real hard to steal.
I purchased this item to use with a 7'x16' trailer which carried my family's household belongings across the country last year. The trailer had a 2-5/16" ball. The reason I mention these dimensions is that this lock didn't fit on my trailer. The shaft was too short for my trailer. I ended up not using a lock and just unhitched and secured the trailer with a coupler lock every night during the trip. I gave this item to a friend who owns a smaller trailer. He loves it. I watch the Lock Picking Lawyer online, and I see patterns as I watch those videos. I purchased this lock because of the following: 1. The locking shaft is hidden when locked making physical attack more difficult. 2. Hardened steel body construction 3. Disc detainer core which requires special tools and skills to pick. TLDR; If it fits, I believe you'll be pleased. If you have a larger trailer, it may not fit.
one star off for heavy plastic zip ties that required saw to cut thru... why make these things so thick you could cut your hand off getting out of the packaging.? Lock fantastically built and engineered. Heavy and very strong. Good job...ditch the zip ties
Lock shackle too short to use on my trailer. I'll try to find use for it somewhere.
Heather A - 03/19/2021The lock is currently being used to secure a metal gate with very tight clearance where most locks do not clear. The attached photo shows the lock installed.
Exactly what I was looking for - it’s stout, simple to use, and fits perfect with no room for a hacksaw to get to it
I got two of these since I needed locks on two trailers. They function differently than similar locks I have used in the past. The lock is a plunger type that uses the key to press in and lock it shut. Both of the locks required a lot of wiggling and turning to get to lock. They appear to have crude tolerances and a lot of play, requiring exact lining up to close. I put a little lube in the lock and ball mechanism and it helped. I was not able to pull them apart by hand once locked. They do unlock easily with the key. I know they aren't the best quality by the price I paid and they are made in China. I am tempted to pry or hammer on one a bit to see if it opens. If it does, I will just chalk it up to knowing better than buying cheap and replace both with higher quality locks. If it holds up, I will say I got my money's worth. E-Trailer does have excellent communication regarding sales and shipment. I have bought from them in the past and will in the future, no matter what the final verdict is on these particular locks.
This lock works and performs just like the receiver lock. The ball bearings will need a slight coating of grease to keep things moving over the long haul. I only wish this was made in Stainless Steel to match the other lock. Having just received this, I will update in the future if any problems appear. Extremely happy with speed of delivery and availability of these locks.
These locks performed horribly, the three I purchased had all become impossible to unlock and remove from the trailer coupler. I had to cut them off with a grinder/cut-off wheel. That being said, I was delayed hooking up my trailer 45 minutes by the time I got the lock removed. The stainless steel ones I had prior held up great. These were a waste of money.
I own several of these. These coupler locks are good because they require the key to unlock but you can then lock them without the key by pressing the button. They are fairly weather resistant, although the metal pin that goes into the coupler is mild steel and will rust quickly. If that pin were stainless the lock would be improved.
Purchased two trailer coupler locks for a new travel trailer. The locks arrived in 5 days and were exactly as described. This is my first purchase with 'etrailer.com'. I am sure there will be more purchases in the future. Nice site and easy to navigate.
quick shipping and good packaging. Lock comes with weatherproof cover for the keyhole which is nice
These coupler locks fits great because they are so close and tight the coupler it would be very difficult and very time consuming to cut. Good heavy material and great locking system.
Very good looking product and good quality. A must have.
I ordered 3 of these and they seem to be great quality. One of the reviewers stated his lock was real finicky. I had the same issue with one of the three I ordered and George from etrailer quickly exchanged it free of charge. Very happy customer
It fit. A reviewer of another product recommended this product, after trying another brand that did close enough to lock. I've been a customer of etrailer for a couple of years. This sale was perfect, and was delivered several days prior to estimate. Etrailer.com .......... always a great choice.
Works great and easy to install and use
There's nothing wrong with this lock as I bought it as an option to another lock for my trailer coupler. I can't use this one due to the short "span" of the pin but I will be able to use it somewhere.
Would recommend this product, works great and holds up to the Wisconsin winter
Jerry - 08/17/2017Fits on my trailer and works to lock in place.
Order was delivered four days ahead of schedule and was just what they advertised. Sales person was knowledgable of thre weight distribution system and helped me order the correct down shank my truck and trailer required. As usual a good experience.
Best trailer lock ever. Easy on, easy off, unique key. Excellent product. Well worth the price.
Had no problems with the lock as long as I lubricate it twice a year (salut and winter weather). Would have like it in stainless for longivity!
This lock has served it's purpose well. No rust or other external blemishes. It can be difficult to lock sometimes (which is usually just user error).
