Recently bought a boat and the trailer did not have any way to lock the tongue that I could see. After seeing that my stepson had a trailer with this style lock on it and seeing that it would be virtually impossible to pry it off I did some research. I have purchased from etrailer in the past and trust them to only sell the best. I ordered it and received it in a timely manner. It fits perfectly and I now feel my trailer and boat are secure. Who would doubt the Master Lock brand anyway!?!

Still working great, no complaints here.

Great product. Master Lock brand and quality. Very secure and provides me with peace of mind that it’s a huge deterrent to would-be boat thieves.

We purchased this lock based on a recommendation from a friend, as well as the written reviews. It is heavy and substantial, and I am relieved to have an extra layer of protection for our trailer while camping in area's without security. Etrailer comes though yet again.

After years of no worry trailer and boat five-fingered discount from bad guys interested in stealing my first unhitched boat using a trailer coupler lock much like this one I now have confidence my new boat will be similarly safe using the bright red Master Coupler Lock. I like the red color which makes it obvious the bad guys need to move on to find another victim.

Purchased two of these to replace pin style coupler locks. Decent coupler lock, will probably provide a fair amount of deterrence. However, it does not snuggly fit into either of the trailers I outfitted with these locks. There is a fair amount of wiggle even when adjusted completely. Still looking for a better coupler lock option...

I feel much better about parking my trailer on the street with this lock on the hitch. Not only does it lock up the hitch securely but the bright red color signals to prospective thieves that this trailer cannot be towed. It is easy to attach and easy to remove. Also very compact so it can be stored easily. The shipping time was less than I expected. etrailer.com is my goto supplier for my trailer accessories.

It's a great deterrent for thieves and peace of mind for you to know that your trailer is safe. Like any devise, it keeps honest people honest. No system is foolproof.

This is a terrific design since unlike padlocks, can't easily be cut with bolt cutters. I like the bright red color which tells a thief there is a lock to deal with from a distance. I think someone who wants your trailer can probably defeat any system you use, so the goal is to make it tough as possible and I think this lock does that.

This is just the anti-theft deterrent device we have been looking for. We have an Excavation business and keep a lot of expensive tools and equipment in a 6x12 trailer. We can sleep at night knowing our trailer will still be there in the morning. This thing is very easy to put on and take off.

Nice tool, I like that it will adjust easily for different depths so it will fit more than one size trailer tongue. It pulls in snug and with a couple firm smacks with a 2 pound hammer is still works just fine.

It's a great product. It looks good on the trailer, and you can see it from very afar. And there is no way to saw it off, break it apart, or something like that. The construction is basically rounded, and there is nowhere you can find a starting point to place a saw or breakaway device on it. I have also bought different lock from Reese, and it looks wimpy, and easy to take it apart, or saw it off as some reviews have suggested. It's also easy to put it on and take it off. Just love the product. Here I attach some pictures in the campgrounds, etc.

Nice lock. It’s nice that there is nothing to really cut on it. Latches on nice and strong. Easy to use. You could even use a default latch lock with it. Hope it holds up as good as it looks. Will review again after awhile.

I recently purchased a new bumper hitch camper and this lock pretty much guarantees my camper will stay where I parked it. I like the way it is made.

This lock was chosen by me for medium security of our 20' boat. I was installed easily and will keep most who want to try to steal something like our boat away. If they really wanted to, a sledge would destroy this. Where there's a will there's a way. For our 31' trailer, I opted for another model. That would take a lot more beating to 'maybe' get off the hitch. It also costs about 8 times as much though...

After one year, taking it off. Our boat is in use again after 1 year, going to Lake Mead. It has held up great, easy to open, and kept thieves away...

No issues after a year. It is exposed to the elements and the paint has faded a lot as a result. Functionally, it's still the same as it was the first day.

Ask the Experts about this Master Lock Trailer Coupler Locks
- Coupler Lock for Trailer Coupler with Rolled LipYou are absolutely right that the rolled lip on your trailer's coupler will prevent using some types of locks but we do have a solution for you. If your coupler measures no more than 4-1/2-inches wide (including the lip) you can use the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock # DT25013KA. If it is wider then instead you can use Master Lock # 377DAT. The coupler lip appears too tall to work with lock # ML389DAT.

- Can the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock be Keyed AlikeI have a solution but unfortunately the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock part # ML389DAT can not be ordered with a specific key number. Instead the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip part # e98895 can be ordered keyed alike. It doesn't work on the 1 7/8" coupler, for that use the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98897. These are very nice quality locks that will keep your trailer secured. Check out the video I did on them that I have linked it for you.
view full answer... - Bolt-On A-Frame 2-5/16 Inch Ball Trailer Coupler For 1973 AirstreamThere is one A-frame coupler that accepts a 2-5/16" hitch ball and fits the bill perfectly that I really like, which is from Demco: - Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM16680-52 The reason I like this Demco coupler so much is because of its super easy to use latch system, called an eZ-Latch, which just stays closed all the time, until the coupler goes over the hitch ball and it just snaps on. That's all there is to it. This is also a bolt-on coupler like you wanted, and is...
view full answer... - Recommended Coupler Lock for UFP A-60 Surge CouplerFor a UFP A-60 hydraulic actuator/coupler I suggest Fastway coupler lock # DT25013KA or Master Lock # 377DAT but the style of lock # ML389DAT will not work with your coupler.
view full answer... - Can Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock be Pried OffRealistically, the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML389DAT won't be pried off; even if there's enough room to fit a crowbar, getting it fully wedged in so that enough leverage can be applied to the lock to break it off just isn't going to happen. Theoretically, any lock can be busted with enough force but the odds of your trailer getting stolen with this lock on it are extraordinarily slim compared to not having the Master Lock on.

I looked up pictures of the trailer and found that it has a collar lock style coupler which we know this lock works great with. I attached a picture of this lock used on a similar coupler for you to check out as well.

The reason this is the best lock is because it offers the most protection from removal due to its unique design which ensures it won't be able to be pried off, cut off, or hammered off. It is also a bright red so any would-be thieves will know right away you have a trailer that isn't going to be worth...

- Trailer Coupler Lock to Replace One With no KeyReplacement keys for trailer coupler locks from this manufacturer were once something that was offered, but because there was so much difficulty getting the correct key they are no longer available. That means the only option if you don't have a key is to cut off your current lock and replace it. The good news is you can get an outstanding coupler lock for a price that is very similar to getting a replacement key. I strongly recommend the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML389DAT which...

The Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML389DAT is a great option because it has a bright red color to draw attention to the fact that there is a lock on the trailer. Since the idea behind a lock is to deter theft, drawing attention to the lock will help to intimidate a would-be trailer thief. One of the most popular options is the Fastway Trailer Coupler Lock # DT25013KA. You can order this lock keyed alike...
view full answer... - Locks for A-Frame Trailer CouplerWe have all sort of trailer locks including coupler locks for a-frame trailer couplers. Please refer to the linked page that displays all standard coupler locks. You can use a universal-fit surround-type lock such as # ML389DAT which fits all ball sizes and that prevents someone from hitching to your trailer by clocking access to the coupler, or a simple latch type lock like # e98889 that prevents the coupler latch (like the one on # CA-5400-B) from being lifted to unlock the coupler.

All are the surround type lock and we have some that fit all coupler sizes, such as the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock # DT25013KA. For a lock specific to a 2-5/16-inch coupler that completely encases the coupler you might consider the Blaylock # BLTL-23.

For a trailer coupler lock that fits 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" hitch balls and can be keyed alike, I recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock part # DT25013KA. The Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock is a very versatile device which can fit three different size hitch balls. The tube style locking core makes keys harder to...
view full answer... - Multiple Trailer Coupler Locks That Can Be Keyed Alike I do have a trailer coupler lock that can be keyed alike but the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock part # ML389DAT cannot. Instead you will want to use the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock part # DT25013KA which can be keyed alike and will work on 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" trailer couplers. This is currently the most cost effective trailer coupler lock we have that can be keyed to match one another. I have attached a review video of the Fastway coupler lock for you as well.

These are my two favorite trailer coupler locks and they will both work well with your brake actuator. The Master Lock is our most popular option but the Fastway is a bit beefier so this is actually what I recommend for you. The Fastway also has a cover for the lock core...
view full answer... - Multiple Locks for a 2-5/16 Inch Coupler that Can Be Keyed AlikeUnfortunatley, the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML389DAT cannot be keyed alike. But I do have an option that may work for you. The Fastway Universal Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-303 uses the specifc 303 key code and can be ordered in multiple quantities. There a number of options of different key codes available for you to choose from and any will fit a 2-5/16 inch coupler.

I recommend setting the multifit coupler for the largest hitch ball setting prior to adding the lock so it will not be removable when loosening the ball connection.

As such, to determine the key number for use with # MLK1, you will need to look at the physical key itself as those are the only place where the number is printed.

- Will the Master Lock Coupler Lock # ML389DAT Fit a 4 Wide Trailer CouplerWe do have some options for you but the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML389DAT that you referenced has a max coupler width of 3-1/4" so your coupler will be a little too big for it. For a coupler lock that can accommodate a 4" wide coupler we have the following: Tow Ready Gorilla Guard - # 63227 Fastway Universal Coupler Lock - # DT25013KA Master Lock Coupler Lock - # 377DAT etraiiler.com Coupler Lock - # e98895 Out of those options I recommend going with the etrailer lock....

Let the spray sit in the lock for a few minutes and then try operating it again. If this still doesn't fix the problem then you may need to have a locksmith take a look at it.

I'd recommend The Universal Trailer Coupler Lock, part # DT25013KA which is available keyed alike.
