Works like a charm! With the lock on the side it does not collect snow and ice



by:

Great product. Solidly built, simple-easy to use. I'm using it to protect a 6x10 hydraulic dump trailer that I'll leave parked in an isolated and wooded area on my farm to haul firewood and wood chips. I don't want the trailer to disappear. I have a wood splitter that I want to protect, too, so I'll be purchasing another coupler lock.

Yeah I hear you, Raymond! A little peace of mind about your trailer's safety I'm sure goes a long way. Especially when it's for a trailer it sounds like you get a lot of use out of. What kind of farming do you do?



by:

Decent coupler lock - provides some peace of mind against theft.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

GREAT customer service, good product - had a small issue on my end with the order they actually called me to fix it. Refreshing to do business with!!

Hey Anthany! We are always here to help! You can always reach out to me directly when you need something :)



by:

Very affordable deterrent that adds that little bit more security.



by:

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.



by:

I received the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock that I ordered. It was delivered in just a few days just a it was supposed to. It is exactly what I was looking for. It will help detour anyone from stealing my trailer ! I am extremely happy with the lock and etrailer ! I think this is a great company with great pricing on there products ! I will recommend them to everybody and will be ordering with them again real soon ! It was an easy and excellent experience. Great customer service too ! Thanks etrailer !



by:

Works well I like the fact that it`s easy to connect, fits 1-7/8" ball up to 2-5/16" and protects my trailer peace of mind



by:

Great locks!! I feel a lot better leaving all three of my trailers at home with these locks on my trailers! Definitely recommend!



by:

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.



by:

Great product



by:

I installed this trailer lock as soon as I purchased it. All I have done is spray the lock with WD40 a couple times and the lock has protected my favorite boat with NO problems at all.



by:

Good product. Easy to use. Hope it is tamper proof



by:

Helpful lock



by:

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.



by:

Looks good. Might change tumbler to make it harder to pick.



by:

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.



by:

Works great, would buy again.



by:

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.



by:

Universal lock



by:

I have multiple trailers with different ball hitch sizes and Master Lock fits all of them well.



by:

Good price, exactly what I ordered, but I haven't had time to try it out yet.



by:

More security for my trailer while looking good.

  • Coupler Lock for Titan Brake Actuator With 2-5/16 Hitch Ball
    There is a coupler lock for your Titan Brake Actuator # T2477600 with a 2-5/16" ball. The Master Lock # ML389DAT uses a 1-piece housing to fit securely around the coupler, has a powder coat to resist corrosion and comes with a pair of keys. I've added a photo showing how it looks on a Titan coupler and also linked a couple video reviews for you to take a look at.

  • Comparing Demco and Titan Disc Brake Actuators with Electric Lockouts
    That is a tough question to answer as both are excellent manufacturers with their respective pros/cons. In regards to brake actuators, they both make and manufacture them here in the U.S.A. and they both come with a one year warranty. In regards to differences, Demco makes a wide range of different trailer and towing products whereas Titan specializes more in trailer brakes. WIth that being said we have had more positive feedback from Titan products in regards to trailer brakes, actuator...

    For your Atwood Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler 80060, I recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-318 or the Master Lock Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2", 2-5/16" Couplers # ML389DAT are both good options. The latter doesn't have any restrictions of the width of the coupler.

  • Can Breakaway Pin be Pulled to Help Prevent Trailer From Being Stolen
    At first glance that is a great idea but if you want to keep a trailer from being stolen your best defense is installing a lock or multiple locks so that potential thieves see that your rig is more challenging than the next. You mentioned Blue Ox but the only thing they have with a breakaway kit is the Patriot # BLU37TR which installs in a towed vehicle that can be locked so I believe you are referring to a kit like the Hopkins # HM20001 which installs on a trailer. Either way, the stored...

  • Will the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock ML389DAT DEMCO EZ Latch 2-5/16 Ball & Gooseneck Coupler?
    Yes, and no but I have one that'll do both. The Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock item # ML389DAT you were looking at will fit a Demco A-Frame Coupler with EZ Latch item # 12660-97SP but not gooseneck couplers. For a coupler lock that does both you'll need the InfiniteRule Lock for Demco eZ-Latch Trailer Couplers item # IR66FR.

Instead, I recommend replacing the entire coupler for which you can use the A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # CA-5400-B.

  • Recommended Trailer Coupler Lock for a 2-5/16
    I want to start off by saying that any trailer lock that you purchase will never be able to fully secure your trailer from a thief. If they are determined enough to bring equipment with them to remove a lock then given enough time they will be able to remove a lock. This will be the case no matter what you what you are looking to put a lock on.
