Video Transcript for A Closer Look at the InfiniteRule Trailer Coupler Lock Kit

Hi there, it's Evangeline right here at etrailer. Today, we are taking a look at the InfiniteRule Three-Pack Trailer Lock Kit. This kit will include a lock for your coupler, a lock for your coupler latch, as well as a lock for your hitch receiver. Now, this is available in three different options where the main difference is gonna be the different latch coupler lock sizes. So in this video, we're gonna talk about why you may or may not need the three different components, which one to get for your trailer, as well as if InfiniteRule kit is the right fit for you for your different adventures. So this is gonna be ideal if you have trailer couplers of different shapes and sizes, especially because this coupler lock here has a pretty cool way of adjusting for if you need different ball sizes.

When I remove the lock as well as the pin from our coupler lock, I am then able to lift up this upper bracket. Now, with that upper bracket removed, you can still see that our coupler lock is in place. And this is gonna be a hitch ball attached to the coupler lock that once we lift that up, we're then able to remove. This hitch ball is designed for inch and 7/8 or two inch hitch ball applications. Here we have a two inch coupler, and even though this moves around a little bit, this is a perfectly fine fit.

But let's say I have a 2 5/16 application. Well, see this top over here is very easily threads onto that hitch ball. And now, I'm able to secure, even those larger trailer applications. And every trailer is different. Here, while we find that the larger hitch ball fits, our bracket, not as much.

So that's another aspect of the versatility of this kit. What I'm gonna do is once this ball is completely loose, we're then going to adjust the little bolts underneath, pop it into whichever other spot makes more sense for our application, and then tighten the hitch ball down to it. So now, when we put this into position, we're able to fit the bracket right on over. Everything looks really good, we're just gonna secure this real quick. And now, we can secure it with our pin.

And that's gonna be also why you have this almost honeycomb design on the side of your hitch lock. You are then able to adjust for different heights of couplers. And no matter which type of coupler you have, you're still able to secure it. And rather than a bulky style of a bracket, I personally think this looks a lot more sweet and looks good in the parking lot. That bright orange design is really there, so that it's a visible and clear deterrent for people walking by. They're able to instantly see that this coupler is locked. Now, another perk to that shackle, that top bracket that comes down, is that while it is on there and more visible, for some trailers like the one we had earlier, it can also cover your trigger latch. So kind of a two for one deal. So with that in place, everything is secure. But the next question is, what if it doesn't cover your trigger latch like what we have here As you can see, opening this up with our latch locked, we are still unable to remove the hitch ball with this in place. But for extra, extra security, there's a reason why people get this three-in-one kit, and that's because it also comes with its own lock for your trigger latch, and all three components are keyed alike. Rather than a basic latch lock that just has a singular pin with a lock on the end, the way this one works is you have the pin that goes through, but the lock is above it. That way, you have multiple points of contact. So if someone is trying to undo the trigger, not only do they have to deal with the pin going through, but they also have to deal with the other part of the lock going over. Now, coupler latches can be different depending on your coupler. So for that reason, the three different kits have different lengths that they can accommodate. So your kits range from an inch and 1/8 wide, an inch and 5/8 wide, and two inches and 1/8 of an inch wide. So for most applications, your inch and 5/8, which is what I have here, should be more than sufficient. But if you want an even tighter or a wider fit, you have the options for you. The final and third part of your kit is gonna be your hitch receiver lock. Again, this is gonna be keyed to the same lock core as your other two locks. And this will work with two inch or 2 1/2 inch hitch receivers. You already have a hitch pin on your ball mount, this pin will be able to replace it. So go ahead and remove your old hitch pin. Since this new one is 5/8 in diameter, it will fit most two inch and 2 1/2 inch hitch receivers in terms of that hitch pin hole size, but it is also three inches and 1/8 inch in usable space. So that is something to be mindful of, some of those 2 1/2 inch hitch receivers, if they've got that double wall on their hitch, that can be a little bit bulky. So double check your usable span required. Now, you may have noticed whenever I was locking any of these hitch locks, I rotate the key. That's because this works as kinda like a bolt and a nut where you turn the key righty tighty to lock, and then you loosen the key lefty loosey to unlock. So you just proceed loosening it until that lock core comes out of the pin. Now, as cool as the InfiniteRule Trailer Lock Kit is in terms of versatility and design, I can't deny that it is a more premium product at a more premium price point compared to some other options you have. Of course, you can always get a singular lock. A lot of people get just the coupler lock, especially if their trigger latch is on top, because that two-in-one function is pretty much all they need. However, whenever they have to switch between different trailers, they may be looking at different options too. So if you're looking for affordable, something that you might be looking at is the Reese Trailer Lock Kit. And that one has a very similar function where it has a bracket that goes on top, secures your coupler, you also have a trigger latch lock, and a hitch receiver lock. But just looking at it, you can tell that it takes up much less space compared to the InfiniteRule set, and just doesn't look as stylish. Now, it is much more affordable, so that is something worth looking at. Another option is gonna be your etrailer kit. And that one has a lock that goes over your coupler lip. Again, it also has the latch lock and the hitch lock. And the perks to the etrailer kit is if you have any other locks, maybe something for your vehicle or multiples of those locks, you can get them all keyed alike very easily. So the interchangeableness of that kit is something people prefer or prioritize. Now, the downside to that kit is you do have to know exactly what type of coupler you have, because if you have an inch and 7/8 coupler, or if you have a two inch and 5/16 inch coupler, those are gonna be different parts. So if you're not sure what type of coupler you have, or if you're looking for a lock that will work with pretty much any trailer you can find, or if you're someone that's gifting this for someone else and you don't know what they have, you wanna make sure that no matter what they have, chances are that it is gonna fit, and that's where the InfiniteRule Trailer Lock Kit comes in handy. Very versatile, very stylish, definitely something that you'd like to see in the parking lot protecting your trailer. Again, this is available in three different three-part kits, which just means you have a different size trigger latch lock, you can find those on our website.
