Features to know about

Keep Your Trailer Safe: Adjustable Span Locking Mechanism

Trailer theft is a real concern, but the Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock makes it a whole lot harder for thieves to make off with your rig. With an adjustable span from 7/8" to 3-1/2", this lock snugly secures latch-style and surge brake couplers, so your trailer stays right where you left it. The lock is designed to fit a variety of trailers, accommodating different widths with a 1/4" diameter zinc-plated steel shank—this flexibility ensures your lock stays useful as your towing needs change.

Rust-Proof Security: Zinc-Plated Steel Construction

Worried about rust and corrosion on your gear? The Blue Ox Lock's zinc-plated steel construction means it’s tough enough to stand up to the elements. This means you don't have to worry about it becoming a rusted mess over time. Its durable build is not just about standing up to the weather, it also gives you peace of mind that your lock will function just as well after months of use as it did on day one.

No More Fumbles: Swivel-Head, Side-Entry Lock

Fumbly lock mechanisms are a hassle, especially in the dark or in bad weather. That’s where the swivel-head, side-entry lock really shines. It makes locking and unlocking your coupler a breeze, ensuring a snug fit and securable placement every time without any false latches. Plus, with just a 1/4 turn, you can lock or unlock it without a fuss.

Universal and Versatile: Keyed Unique Universal Application

With its universal application lock, this coupler lock is perfect for just about any setup. It comes uniquely keyed to provide more security than generic locks while offering the convenience of a single set of keys. Stop juggling multiple keys for different locks and keep your trailer secure with the same ease every time. It's universally fit for 2-inch hitches, giving you flexibility for various towing setups.

Always Ready: Comes with Two Keyed-Alike Keys

Gone are the days of misplacing your only key. The Blue Ox Trailer Coupler Lock includes two keyed-alike keys. This means you can keep one with your vehicle keys and have a spare just in case, ensuring that you're never stranded without access to your own equipment. It's a small detail that really enhances user convenience.

Enhanced Trailer Protection: Secures Trailer Brake Actuators

This lock doesn’t just work on the coupler—it also provides a secure latch on trailer brake actuators that lock through the body. Whether on the road or parked at a site, having this added security means your trailer stays yours and others find it much less appealing. The adjustable design also makes it great for pairing trailers with different brake actuator types.

Lock was a replacement for an old one. This one works but the key/lock mechanism was a bit sticky. Fixed it with some lubricant. E-Trailer shipping was great and arrived on expected date.

Works just fine after a year



by:

Versatile! This is a adjustbale and will fit a few different trailers I tow. It's stainless stell too.



by:

The lock fits my application, but having a difficult time getting it to lock into the right groove, can get it every time on the one that is just to small. Going to play with it some more and see if I can figure out the trick



by:

Unfortunately, I cannot evaluate because I did not use the lock. I did test it on our trailer and found it very easy to use.



by:

We had bought these before for another trailer. Liked them so much we needed them again for a another trailer. Great product. Fast shipper.

Very good



by:

This product is amazing. Works perfectly with my boat trailer and is made of very high quality materials and finishes. Since it’s adjustable it can accommodate different trailer widths. I feel safe when this is locked and secured on my trailer. I would highly recommend this product.



by:

Supposedly an adjustable lock but only works on the largest setting which means if you have something smaller it leaves it vulnerable to bolt cutters. Virtually worthless because of this

I like your honesty. It is a sad fact that any lock can be defeated if a person is determined enough. We consider the locks to be a theft deterrent against an easy theft.

See what our Experts say about this Blue Ox Trailer Tongue Lock

  • Should Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock C48CR Rust After 6 Weeks
    The Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Ball Couplers # C48CR should not be rusting after 6 weeks. The lock has an overall lifetime warranty from general defect, but a specific 1-year warrant for its finish. Clearly, this lock is not meeting those standards to I would warranty claim it. I would then go with something that won't corrode, the stainless steel Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR.

  • Can Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock Be Trimmed?
    If you want to trim off the excess part of the shaft for the Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR you are more than welcome to - I just recommend keeping at least one extra segment in place. Really the only reason to not trim it is for longevity sake. If you end up getting a trailer that requires that part of the lock to be longer then you'll need to purchase a new lock instead of being able to use this same lock. But the call is totally up to you! It is important to note...

  • Replacement 1/4" Latch Pin For Buyers Products 50-Ton Pintle Hook # 337BP880
    It sounds like you are looking for the Buyers Products 1/4" Zinc Plated Safety Pin w/ Lanyard # 3373006875 to secure the pintle in place on the Buyers Products 50 Ton Heavy-Duty Swivel Type Pintle Hook # 337BP880. We do have the Coupler Lock # BLU56XR which will latch from 7/8" to 3-1/2" in length if you are looking for an actual locking pin.

  • Keyed Alike Coupler Lock Recommendation with 1/4 Diameter and at least 3-3/8 Span
    The Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR comes as individual lock numbers so for a keyed alike option I recommend checking out the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock # e98888 which has the same specs but is only 1/8" shorter. The etrailer lock can be keyed alike no matter how many you choose to purchase. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Can Blue Ox Trailer Coupler Lock be Keyed Alike with a Hitch Pin Lock
    Hey Jeremy, The Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR is available with a keyed-alike locking hitch pin as the Kit # BLU36XR, but aside from that this smaller pin doesn't have the option to be keyed alike.

  • Does Locking Part of Blue Ox Pin Need to be Unlocked to be Installed
    Hey Ronald, The lock that fits onto the Blue Ox Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # BLU56XR needs to stay unlocked until you get it to the right place, then you'll lock it in place and be good to go! It doesn't "ratchet" on, but that's actually a good thing because it makes the fit more snug.
