Specs:
- Coupler lock:
- Application: trigger-latch-style ball couplers
- Inside pin length (span): approximately 3/4"
- Pin diameter: 1/4"
- Hitch receiver lock:
- Application: 2" x 2" trailer hitch receivers
- Inside pin length (span): 2-1/2"
- Pin diameter: 5/8"
- Limited 1-year warranty
The unique ball-bearing locking system on these Lifelong locks is supremely easy to use. When you pop the deadbolt onto the end of the pin, the integrated ball bearings engage the lock automatically.
This ball-bearing system also ensures that the structural integrity of the hitch lock's pin is maintained throughout. A typical padlock-style hitch lock has a significant taper at the end of the pin where the lock snaps into place. This taper weakens the pin, making it easier to break or cut. Because the ball bearings are responsible for engaging the lock on this Lifelong lock, no taper is needed. So, the pin diameter is the same along the entire length of the lock. The result is a hitch lock that is strong, durable and highly tamper resistant.

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

The locks are still hard are work, I use them regularly. I do like them a lot except I sometimes struggle with the keys as they go in both directions, and turn both directions but only open one way. I also lost one of black rubber boot/cap, other than that they seem to work pretty good. 667804

Great product, does the job admirably. Just need to remember to take the receiver lock off once in a while to clean and lube it. Otherwise it becomes very difficult to remove. The trailer lock stays covered most of the time, so no issues there. 803099

Liked the fact you could use one key on both devices. Difficult to open and close. After a few months of use the spring popped out of the hitch lock making it unusable. 800157

I’ve had nothing but wonderful experience with etrailer. My first hitch, I ran over a set of keys and they were extremely helpful and had a new set shipped to me in 3 days. My second order was a bulletproof 4” drop hitch delivered safely in 3 days with free shipping! There’s no other company that I’ve done business with that has been so helpful and urgent to ship their product. I will never buy from another place! 768144

If youre looking for a coupler and hitch pin lock set that is made in the USA, I recommend our etrailer.com Lock Set e99039 because it is will secure both your coupler and ball mount with two keyed-alike locks.

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

- How To Operate the Bulldog CCP Trigger-Style Coupler LockIt sounds like you might have the Bulldog Lifelong Trigger-Style Coupler Lock part # BD580404 and if that is the case then I have attached for a you a review video on how to operate the lock. That said, if the lock has been on for six years without being removed then odds are it is stuck and will be very hard to remove as rust can form and dirt can get inside over time which can then make for them to be very difficult to operate. If that is the case then you will need to either cut the...

BOLT locks don't come with keys because they actually use your vehicle's ignition key to code the locks. That being said, these are only offered for certain model year Ford, GM, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles. For example, #...

The way you would determine the correct replacement key would be with what is usually a 3 digit number engraved or marked on the side of the lock; these models usually had a CCP on one side and LB### marked on the other which would give you the key number. If you can't find a replacement key, I recommend replacing this with a Master Lock Trigger Style Coupler Lock # 605DAT...

view full answer... - How to Remove a Stuck Bulldog Locking Hitch Pin from Trailer HitchSounds like the internal ball-bearings on your Bulldog Lifelong Trigger-Style Coupler Lock and 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # BD580404, may be stuck. Try using a penetrating spray lubricant, like the UltraLube Biobased Spray Lubricant and Penetrant. The spray lubricant will penetrate to the locks bearing and help break up any contaminates that may be causing the lock to stick. Plus, the spray will make separating the lock easier due to lowering the surface resistance of the metal lock.

You may want to repeat this process a few times while sliding the key in to try and lubricate the mechanism. Hopefully this will clean out the lock so that it will work again....
