Let's go over the Redline lug nut locks. So this is gonna come in handy if you've come out to your trailer and it's on cinder blocks and your wheels are gone. So what this is gonna do is it's going to give you a very unique little lug nut which can only be loosened with this special little key that comes with it. So it's gonna be very, very difficult for somebody to get this thing off and steal your stuff. Because as of right now, it's just a 13/16 socket. Everybody's got that in their house or their shed or their toolbox.
So this is gonna be a little bit easier to do so. So let's show you how it works. Pretty much, we're just gonna put one on each side. So we just need to find the lug nut. It doesn't matter which one you do.
We just need to put it on one of the studs. And this is gonna be for your half inch lug nuts, which is a very standard size for your trailers. So you really don't have to worry about it not fitting. It's pretty much every trailer we see here has that size lug nut. So we're gonna take one off and then we're gonna have two of these.
So one is gonna go on this side and then one is gonna go on the other wheel on the other side of the trailer. So we're gonna take this and we're gonna just thread it on just like a normal lug nut. You can do it by hand like this until it gets all the way snugged up. And this is where the key comes into play because the normal socket isn't gonna do anything. It's just gonna rotate around.
And the cool thing about this key is it looks like it's symmetrical, but it actually isn't. So there's only one way that it's gonna go on there, right there. So it's very, very unique. It's gonna be very hard for someone to either have this or make one. So once we do that, we can tighten it all up. I like to tighten it all kind of by hand here. And ideally we have this kind of elevated and lift it up whenever we're torquing these down. So I just like to do it by hand and then come back here through with a torque wrench and torque it to spec. And then after that, you're done. You can use two different sockets. I'm using a 13/16 'cause it matches the lug nuts on my trailer, but you can also use a 3/4 inch socket. As of right now, our wheels and everything are taken care of but the trailer can still be hooked up to and stolen. So I recommend grabbing a wheel lock like this. This is gonna prevent it from rolling. So someone's not going to go and take your trailer out. There's one other thing to really protect the trailer to the ultimate degree. And that's just gonna be preventing them from hooking up to the coupler. There's a lot of different ways you can do it. And it just depends on what kind of coupler you have. So if you're in the locking mindset might as well search our website. We have a lot of different things to give you peace of mind, just to protect your stuff. Very simple product by Redline. Do I use 'em on my trailers Of course, why not It's a very simple product to just give you peace of mind. And that's pretty much it for a look at the chrome lug nut locks by Redline..

Ratings & Reviews
My purchasing experience with Etrailer has been extraordinarily positive during the past month as I attempted to coordinate the purchase of 10-12 major items and many smaller accessories. All needed to work together. Indeed, the first part of one order arrived today. I assume the second part is the package I have been notified will arrive tomorrow. A second order has shipped, and I expect to place one, or more, additional substantial orders before the end of the year.
I have been pleased with the wheel lock set's appearance closely matching the other lug nuts. The "key" works very well
Feeling safer about parking my trailer in the open. Wheel nuts went on quickly. Key found its position easily and worked well. Only complaint: chrome plating flaking off one of the nuts, not a problem because they are covered by a hub cap.
It may not be the original intent, but I'm using one of these as a locking/security nut on the alloy wheels of my 1999 New Beetle. I bought the Beetle used and it had already been altered by the addition of studs to accommodate after market alloy wheels. At some point, I lost the original locking/security nut from one of the wheels (I must not have tightened it enough). These were a perfect replacement, identical to the originals plus I have a spare should it happen again (the key for the original security nuts was quite beaten up/rounded off when I got the vehicle). THANKS!
Used to secure the spare tire to its mount on utility trailer. Gives me peace of mind that it is secured better than using regular lug nuts.
Excellent service and product. Wheel locks have held up as advertised.
Exactly what I needed,thank you!
This is a high quality wheel lock. I will be using it to lock my spare onto the mount on my trailer. I looked at other options for spare tire security, but this lock fits perfectly on the stud of the spare mount and locks the wheel tight. It is also more cost effective than other options. I will also have a spare lock nut in the event that I should need one.
I have to really compliment etrailer for creating a superb "solution-oriented" web site that I have repeatedly visited with outstanding success. I have already purchased an excellent tongue-lock to protect my trailer. Now, I needed something to protect theft of the wheels. These locking lug nuts were exactly what the doctor ordered. They are made very well, look nice on the trailer and offer a reasonable method to prevent theft adding more protection for it. Not only does etrailer make it simple to find a product like this, they also usually provide a an accompanying video which really helps!
Hey, these look like great secure lug nuts and fit well with the chrome wheel. I would recommend them...

Great! Wheels are still in place!
Fit perfect
I ordered a pair of wheels along with associated items. Soon after ordering, I received a call from the folks at etrailer to say that the wheels were not in stock, but expected soon. Thereafter, I received email follow-ups, including one to indicate that the package was shipped.
These folks know how to treat customers! A great experience working with them!

You have no idea how amazingly good those new aluminum wheels look with our newly mirror-polished vintage Airstream! Enough said!!:
A must for any trailer that is parked or stored outside, and not behind a secure fenced area. Easy to install and remember to write down the key code because if you lose the key tool you are in trouble. I do wish the Company would sell them in sets of four all keyed the same, as the bulk of trailers are dual axle and even for those who have single axles, you still could put more than one per wheel to slow them down.

Just what I was looking for, very hard to find. Shipping was quick and reasonable. Price was priceless since without I was stuck. Thx
This wheel lock set looks like good qua lity.
Got these to protect the mag wheels and upgraded tires on my boat trailer. They never let me down.
Item came quick and was as advertised. Yes, I would purchase item again and recommend etrailer.
Locks work great. I purchased this lock as a backup/Key for my trailer. I needed two keys because of a mishap of leaving the wheel lock key in my truck and not in my boat causing me to have my son to drive 150 miles to drop off the key so we could change my tire. My boat was being trailed by my partners truck

That doesn't sound fun at all, but, you will be more than prepare! Where's your boat going to be taking you to next?
I built my" tool shed" on a Triton aluminum trailer. I wanted doors on three sides. I do a lot of volunteer work at a Bible camp and it involves hauling my tools to the job. The trailer had 12x 4 inch wheels and I wanted something I more substantial to carry the load. I ordered the wheels and tires from etrailer. They came on time and we're exactly what I wanted. I have purchased other items from etrailer, and highly recommend this company
It fits my need to secure a spare tire
Hunted/shopped around for the product that was originally on trailer. These are the identical locks they previous owner had on (just not the key). They measure; inside 1.138", outside 1.264". They fit perfectly on these alum wheels.
