Great Product! We ordered 6 of these for our fleet of trailers. Very convenient with all the same key. Also purchased the matching coupler locks.
We are very happy with both the products AND customer service at etrailer. They are our first and only call for trailer supplies.



by:

Neil was great to work with. I had lost one of my locks and needed to get a replacement with the same key pattern as ones I had previously ordered. Neil got me hooked up and I am very happy.



by:

I received excellent customer service from Brenden C. The 2-1/2" trailer coupler lock fits perfectly on my trailer with bulldog-type hitch coupler (excellent fit/very secure). The keyed-alike option makes life easy - only 1-key for all locking devices. I highly recommend etrailer.com (great people providing excellent customer service!)



by:

Easy to install and I like the way the key tightens the axle of the lock. I did make one easy modification for my use. I added a nut as a spacer so when locked, no part of the axle shows. This makes it a little more difficult for someone to saw off the thinner axle part. See two pictures attached.



by:

This lock fits my Nitro (Tracker Marine) trailer perfectly. Keep in mind that it doesn't provide protection from someone who wants to break it. But it provides a deterrent from vandalism. It's nice to know when you see it still in place that no one has messed with your hitch.



by:

Sent lock with wrong key, did an outstanding job to expedite a correct lock with correct key1



by:

Works as expected.



by:

Excellent service and follow up!!! Always great to do business with.



by:

Durable and easy to use. Really wanted a keyed-alike locks for the hitch and the trailer coupler, and etrailer was able to make that happen. I'm sure someone with the right equipment and a big set of balls could cut through these if they really wanted to, but so far that hasn't happened. Makes me feel a lot better knowing that my trailer is going to be there when I'm doing fishing 99% of the time.



by:

The product is the only one I have found for the Bulldog hitch. It would be perfect if it were a quarter inch shorter. Leaves room for a cutter to get in there. Easily remedied. As for service, etrailer has been the best for All of my trailer needs!



by:

Coupler lock is the only 2 1/2" lock that will fit my coupler. Because my coupler has a recessed hole and the lock is tapered on both ends it fits nicely.



by:

While etrailer has really great products of which this is only one, of the highest value to me is the quality and integrity of their people. I contacted them via the online purchase portal asking for different products and multiples of those products all keyed alike resulting in a dozen items with one key. Well it did not do as planned on my end but in the end and with no monetary compensation at all I have what I hoped for all untangled skillfully by Victoria G. I will never hesitate to make my purchases at etrailer, a customer for life!



by:

Was looking for multiple trailer locks that fit Bulldog style hitches - but wanted them keyed the same. This is the only place I found where that is available. The locks arrived and fit perfectly - 2 1/2" span. I recommend, especially if you want multiple locks with the same key pattern.



by:

Great trailer hitch lock - exactly what I wanted and needed. Only thing that could have made my shopping experience faster would be pictures and names of different types of trailer hitches. I wasn't sure about 7692 until I watched one of the videos that clearly showed the lock on my hitch. I don't know how many different types/styles/designs of trailer hitches there are so I don't know how many locks would NOT work on my hitch. Sometimes you have to shop by 'process of elimination' but if you don't know how many products are wrong, it's tough to know which is right.



by:

This is just what I was looking for. Fits my surge brake coupler on my MasterCraft boat trailer. I wish was stainless steel like my drawbar hitch one that I got from ETrailer, but it still looks good and will do what I need.



by:

This is nice - quick way to secure the trailer coupler. I thought that twisting the key a few times would be more hassle than just the push and click type. I found I could just hold the key in twist the other end - as they do in their video! Duh. It is nice they come in various lengths and you can get them with the key coded to their receiver lock. Now if they could just make a lock that covers the ball too and use the same key - that would be great. Can't have too many locks on your trailer. This now lives on my trailer - I did use some light oil in the lock to make it easier to use down the road.



by:

Fast shipping on my tongue lock, 2.5" and 2", keyed alike (nice option etrailer offers). Easy to use if you turn the side opposite the key to close then lock. Key comes out every quarter turn. Doesn't just lock on like most tongue locks, must be turned about 3 rotations. Nice product though. Bought some extra rubber dust caps as they are usually the first to go after a year or so. Just need to see how it will hold up to N.E. winters.



by:

Have used locks like these on my boat and utility trailers for years now with no problems with them. Although these could probably be defeated with a hacksaw, combining them with a locking hitch insert and a clamping wheel lock gives me more peace of mind leaving the trailer somewhere.



by:

As a tournament walleye angler for over 20 years , I have been trailering a boat around this great country of our. And the etrailer lock has never been more helpful in letting me have the security and piece of mind that my equipment is going to be safe. Thanks Again etrailer for all your great service.



by:

Great hitch lock, love that it is stainless steel, and well made.



by:

Already had one that I was pleased with.
Needed
keyed alike locks for 4 trailers. Was able to swap a new key mechanism with my old pin.



by:

Surge brake coupler lock has worked perfectly. I take my boat out almost every day for the last year and the lock shows no signs of wear and tear for this daily use.



by:

I am really quite happy with these locks (I purchased 4 that are keyed alike). They are a bit unusual in that the whole locking chamber rotates separate from the rest of the lock several time to open it (I learned to hold the key still and rotate the body of the lock).
Two of mine are on trailers outside and have shown no rust or other issues in one year.



by:

After ordering the incorrect length receiver lock - which I praised highly in my previous review - Christina of Customer Service was extremely helpful getting me the shorter version that I needed, as well as expediting the return of my 1st order. I can't say enough about the professional service and attention to detail that I received. etrailer.com has without a doubt become my "Go-To" for future trailering needs!



by:

The coupler lock was just as pictured. Very sturdy and well made. I will be using it this weekend for my first camping trip. The only thing that I didn't like was how long it took the USPS to get it to me.

  • Best Coupler Lock for Demco Channel Tongue Coupler
    My best recommendation is the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock # e98887. This lock fits into either one of the two pin holes of your coupler # 12564. This locks your latch into place so one can't disconnect it from your tow vehicle. It also works when your trailer is stored unhitched since thieves can't hitch your trailer to their vehicle with this lock in the way. Another popular lock for trailer storage is the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip Couplers # e98893. This completely...

    I have the perfect solution for you to lock the upright mast to the horizontal load bars on your Rhino-Rack T-Load Load Assist and Support Bar part # RRTL002. As you have identified the opening of having a 1/4" diameter, you will want the Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98887.

You will also want to drill a 1/4" hole through the inner shaft in order for this pin to the lock the two together.

    I'd be happy to help you out with your questions on the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-52. 1. Yes, you can remove your old welded on coupler by using a grinder to cut the welds. Another popular option is to use a torch to cut the welds but either way is fine. 2. The 1/2" grade 5 bolts are correct and the length really just depends on your trailer frame.
