Bulldog Lifelong Trigger-Style Coupler Lock and 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Chrome

by: Gerald02/22/2019

The bulldog couple lock for my hitch jammed after using a few times and after three strikes with a hammer it broke so I could remove it. 608059

When I first received this trailer lockset, the hitch pin lock only locked into position about 10% of the time. I called etrailer and told them about the issue. Their customer service was great and called me the same day to get a better handle on the problem. They shipped a replacement out even before I shipped the defective one back to them. etrailer is a great company and has terrific customer service that personally calls you to follow up on everything. I will definitely be doing business with them on my future needs. 528257

Nice, quality lock set, that should keep my utility trailer secure when traveling. Weather covers on key slots are a nice touch. Feel heavy and well made. I'd buy them again. 172497

Theyve been working great. One thing Ive found that has made a big difference is keeping lock mechanism lubricated. They gave me fits for awhile, as they come with minimal lube I n them, but for easy operation should be liberally oiled inside lock mechanism.

Junk. Coupler lock froze up on second use. Tumbler mechanism is quite flimsy. Phone with customer support and Bulldog said to spray it with WD 40. It was clear to me, with two locks keyed alike in my hand, that one set of tumblers worked properly, and the other was broken internally. This should not happen on second use. If I was on the road, nighttime, tired, small toolkit, trailer locked to tow vehicle, I would have been pissed, to say the least. After a couple of taps of the hammer, the lock popped open and the coupler pin fell out of the lock casting. Cheap Junk! Customer support was very helpful, and offered refund. I'm going back to my trusty old brass Master padlock. 564123

I have had this same lock on my vehicle for several years. It’s a good design in general as it’s not easily snapped off by thieves. That’s why I bought this second lock set for my wife’s new car to prevent her tow ball from being stolen. The only reason I’m not five starring it is that it is difficult to get it to lock. I had to put the key in and turn it left and right multiple times while trying to get the key tumbler to snap down. I would definitely buy it again. 546973

Fits tight on the coupler latch. Stronger pin than the previous pin lock. Seems sturdy enough. 633838

Very nice quality! Please with purchase. 616637

Works great, just be sure to remove them periodically to clean and , if needed, to spray some lube into them. Otherwise, awesome locks! 605795

product was as described in catalog. completely satisfied. 573252

This was a simple item, no earth shattering revelations. Works as described. 563067

I looked all over for a locking hitch combo and this is the best on the market 544053

Seem to be well made, time will tell. Thank 543731

Cap is hard to get off and key is not engaging all the time. Pretty nice and heavy though. 527345

The cap is meant to fit tightly to prevent loss. Id recommend using powdered graphite to lubricate the lock.

Use both locks about 5 times over the past year with no complaints. I keep them in my she'd when not in use and they still look great. 526182

It looks nice but the latch lock is too small and doesn’t fit my 2018 Interstate trailer. 501954

Product was initially good. However it broke after one year 483627

Fits my portachopper coupler perfectly. Seems robust enough to deter those who might be looking for a quick getaway with my trailer while it's attached to my vehicle. For the price, I'm satisfied. 468953

Great 465482

E Trailer is a great company. Service is superior! Telephone support is the best-bar none! Please do not let this review reflect poorly on Etrailer. The product identified above is made poorly. Specifically, the key does not fit into the locking mechanism without wiggling or jiggly it to get just the right angle. I don’t believe the company that manufactured this device is at fault either. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for! I’m going to go back to Etrailer and purchase a more suitable locking mechanism. It just isn’t worth using on my travel trailer. As I’ve stated above, do not let this negative review, in anyway, reflect upon the manufacturer and most specifically Etailer!!!!!!!!!!!!! 461118

Just as advertised! 460217

Got it, looks like just what I wanted. Thanks again. Good products, excellent service. 421968

Works well and love them being keyed alike...now all i have to do is not lose the keys :) 413542

Looked great but the ball lock wouldn't fit my trailer, the rubber covers were almost impossible to get off. I would not recommend this product. 409947

Does the job, however locks sometimes do not want to open. Put some lubrication on them and they work good. 396880

Bulldog receiver lock fit my Ford factory 2" received perfectly. The trigger lock fits on all trailers I have tried. etrailer.com service and quick delivery was excellent as always. 387488

Exactly as described. Quality construction, easy to use 383123

I received the wiring harness last week and put it on yesterday. It works great...no issues at all. I received the Bulldog Lifelong Trigger and Hitch Receiver locks today. They work great and makes me feel more confident when my trailer is sitting in a parking lot for a long period of time. The locks are well made and I don't think you could knock them off with a sledge hammer. Another thing I like about Etrailer is they ship fast. Very satisfied. 363398

Solid, well made set. Recommended. 351514

Excellent product, works Great for me. Thank You 337655

Piece of junk. After having it on the truck all winter, ended up cutting the rubber cap off and the lock was rusted shut. Spent about an hour with a hammer and pry bar getting the thing out of the receiver. Afraid to use the other one so it's a nice shiny paper weight on my workbench. 314567

This is really an excellent product. I only gave it a 4 star because it lacks the care information needed to keep everything working properly. Has a tendency to rust up and stick after a bit. This is my second set (because I was stupid and drove off without the trigger lock in place). Hopefully, with care, this will last longer. 291821

Still working well overall. I am noticing some rust and the ball pin is starting to rust up. I need to pry is off with a screwdriver and add a bit of oil. The trigger lock is loose and harder to put together. But otherwise the product is OK. I will ride it out for as long as I can.

Very Nice set. The little vinyl caps don't always stay on very good. Mostly noticed this in the summer when its hot. 287875

Very nice locking pin! 287345

This is a very nice and heavy duty set of locks 280360

We really love the trailer. We did a lot of research and decided this trailer is the most versatile, affordable, and well-built--we were right. We've taken it camping from Texas to Wyoming and have hauled kayaks and used it to haul things like furnature around town. I've also gotten building supplies from Home Depot. I would recommend the longer-neck, much easier to back up with. 279903

excellent 278836

Ended up not using it because of the way it operated. I can't remember the exact details but it was going to possible cost me more money to return it so I ended up throwing it away. Decided not to shop at etrailer due to this incident. I found it very ironic that you ended up asking me to review this product. 271520

Poor 271519

Works most times difficult to lock other times 253890

Terrible Locks do not work and went to the trash bin.

David E - 05/30/2017

I should have listened to all of the negative reviews. This lock set is very poorly built. I was able to unlock both locks by only inserting the key about 1/4 of the way in and turning the key. I bet I could break open the receiver lock with a simple screwdriver. It also came missing both of the rubber caps.....I have similar locks made by Anderson Hitch that are far superior. I do not recommend and will not purchase again. 227659

Great product just what I wanted to secure my new trailer. etrailer service was great as always will be shopping again . Thanks Job well done 222236

Works great would recommend to anyone who wants to secure you trailer thanks etrailer

Bill K - 08/26/2016

I bought this so I wouldn't need to add yet another key to my keyring. The good news is the hitch lock is great and much better than the one it replaced. The bad news is the coupler lock is too small for my trailer. The review states it is 3/4 inch and I assumed it would fit but it doesn't. 210631

Meh, its alright. looks nice but the tongue lock wasnt wide enough for my trailer, and the pin? We'll see? 206406

I have used this product for a short time, so far it has worked great. I do want to comment on how quick and easy our order went with Etrailer. All my products came and the timing was precise. Thanks trailer, We will certainly use you guys it the future. 206011

Great project. One key for both locks is convinent. Trailer lock may not fit heavy duty trailers. 192328

Works great. Less keys to keep track of.

very sturdy well built locks. will be getting another coupler lock for my other trailer. I won't be worrying about someone walking up popping out a pin and walking away with my hitch while I'm in town shopping or the pin coming out and the hitch pulling out while I'm pulling a trailer. 187066

Great product. I should have read the description a little closer, though. The hitch receiver on my truck is too large for the hitch pin. The hitch pin looks like it was made for a 2 inch receiver. I have a 3 inch receiver with 2 inch adapter. However, the trailer coupler lock fits and works great. The hitch pin size is detailed in the item description, so make sure you get a size that will fit for you. I didn't read the size, so that's my fault. E-trailer had a great price and shipped extremely quickly. 180283

All ok from etrailer..fast shipping with great communication. Just installed products but they are good and heavy so think they will be ok. Locking mechanism seems cheap n nasty so we will see.. There is a lot of trust riding on this simple pin so I would hope it has been tested and built well. 180032

Very easy to put on and under 1 hour. First one I put on. I'll be buying more of the products from here 174787

Perfect combination to secure my trailer to my Jeep for my long distance move. Helped me sleep at night knowing my belongings could not be easily stolen. 152507
