Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today we're gonna take a look at this Trimax Heavy Duty Adjustable Wheel Lock with Padlock. This is a heavy duty adjustable wheel lock that's going to clamp tightly on the tire of your trailer or vehicle to deter theft. Just kind of giving you an overview here of this wheel lock here. And this is going to be perfect for trucks, construction equipment, trailers, cars, and even ATVs.
And this is going to fit most 10-inch to 18-inch tires. This steel disc is going to cover the lug nuts to prevent tire removal. And it includes these two handles here on the rear of the wheel lock with padded grips to allow ease and convenience when you're ready to position this around your tire and wheel. Now, to use this, you do wanna first open this up, widening it so it's going to be able to go around your tire and wheel. And so to do that, you'll take one of these four keys for the wheel lock.
And you're gonna open up this first panel here and that's gonna give you access to a port here, that's going to allow you to widen or close these arms. So let me go ahead and show you how this is going to work. So I'm gonna put in this rocker handle here and line it up with the port. And then I'm gonna begin to widen this. And let me go ahead and give you another view, just so you can see a little bit easier, these arms opening up.
So you see how that opens up so you can easily fit your tire and wheel through this. It has these rollers here that's going to make that even easier for that to slide in with minimal damage to your tire and wheel. So once you have these widened, then you're just going to go ahead and put this around your tire and wheel. And then you're gonna go ahead and tighten this. Here we go.
So that's just gonna close around your tire and wheel. And then I'm gonna go ahead and close this panel and then I'm gonna open up this secondary panel with the same key. And then I am going to tighten this arm here, this part of the arm here with this cover nut or this disc to make it fit up against the wheel axle. So again, put this in, the Rocking handle into the port. And as you can see, that portion of the arm is gonna close in even more. And then that's going to go, this disc is gonna go up against the lug nuts of your wheel to make sure that there's no access to those lug nuts and no one can easily try to loosen them. So this disc does have kind of a rubber silicone trim around it to minimize scratching or scuffing. You are going to have to probably adjust this a few different times going back and forth between the arms itself and then the disc portion just to make sure that you have a nice tight, secure fit. And then once you're sure that your fit is good, you're going to make sure that these panels are locked to prevent access to those ports to allow someone to try to loosen this and open it up. And then for added security, it comes with this really nice, really heavy duty padlock. And it's very robust and it's a great lock. And this lock is going to come with four keys. So I'm gonna go ahead and hold onto this wheel lock and then open up this padlock here. So insert the key, pull the pin, and then I'm going to put it right here and that's gonna give you that added extra security. So this is gonna do a great job of securing your vehicle, especially when you're maybe parked out on the street. And someone's going to see this yellow Wheel lock around your tire and wheel, and they're gonna be deterred from trying to break into your car. Now, this is a heavy gauge steel with epoxy powder coat that is corrosion resistant and you're gonna get everything that you see here on the table, in front of me. You're gonna get the rocking handle. You're gonna get this padlock. You're going to get four keys for the wheel lock and four keys for the padlock. Instructions are included. And this does have a limited lifetime warranty. Now, we do have a smaller version of this and it's not considered to be as heavy duty as this one, and it does not include the padlock. And if you're interested in something like that and you don't think you need the padlock, I am including our item number to that other one on your screen. You can just take that item number, put it in the search field of our website and it'll take you to that other version of this without the padlock. And again, it's a little bit smaller in size as well. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
It's exactly as described, fits perfect and I just need to practice putting it on. Not hard just awkward by yourself. Watched the videos and that made it really simple. I think this will help keep my truck from being stolen. They cut the Club off my steering wheel and took it. UGH Thieves ! It will for sure make them work hard at even trying to steal it.
Works well when installed. It’s just very cumbersome to take off and put back on. Guess it would work better for long term trailer storage. The lock is very heavy duty but it became rusty and looks old after 1 year.
We are full-time travelers, and the Airstream trailer is our home. I wanted to find something really secure, and I am very happy with this purchase even after one year. Some people see me putting it on, think it is too much to secure the Airstream. Tell that to the Airstream owner whose trailer was stolen from a State Park- they went out hiking and came back to an empty campsite!
The construction is great- very strong. The locking mechanisms work well, the dead bolt lock is very secure, and this is really easy to put on and take off, no more than a few minutes after I learned how it works. This has been the best investment to protect our even larger investment. I am SO happy with this product.
As a side note I want to acknowledge the foam rubber handles at the end do wear out after one year's use. Not surprising as they sit on the ground, been in the mud, on gravel, etc. As a maintenance note: I use WD40 to spray into the large bolt and locks as they are exposed to the elements.
Item will help with theft deterrent but not impossible to break. Metal is ok but could be beefier. Someone would have to work hard and make noise busting it off.
Used 1 time and key got stuck in lock. Would never put on my rv wheels again.
Originally, I reviewed this product and gave it a 5-star rating. After about 6 months of use, I need to revise that rating to only three stars. It is not a bad product, but I would not purchase it again, especially the padlock addition if you live in an area that received snow. After the most recent heavy snow here in Colorado, the melting snow by day, freezing by night, literally busted the padlock. With pieces jammed inside the housing, the key would not easily turn, and it required quite a bit of time to finesse the key into turning. Once finally turned, I had to use channel locks to leverage the pin out of the housing. I'd recommend purchasing the unit w/o the padlock or purchase your own lock to use on this device.
The wheel lock works just fine and is easy to use. Buy it with confidence. The “heavy duty” slide padlock is not the best. After one season it froze up. Getting it off the wheel lock was quite a chore and now it is forever stuck in the open position. No amount of lubricants helped. I finally just threw the padlock out.
Oder filled quickly.
Very good design. Works well, but to unlock the end have to be move about 10 inch off the ground using some pc of wooden block. Another issue is the rivets could be made from thicker steel. Beside these no problem with the tool.
Product was exactly what we wanted at a reasonable price, and it was shipped to us within 5 days of ordering it (cross country). etrailer kept in touch with us every step of the way. Tremendous service with good value products.
I normally don't do reviews or surveys but I am pretty happy with my Timax Wheel Lock. I received my HD Trimax Wheel Lock today....only 2 days after placing the order. I opened the box, read the instructions and went out to my enclosed trailer to put it on. Oh oh.....at first I thought I was going to have to send it back as my leaf springs seemed to be where the back side of the clamp needed to be. After completely opening the jaws I was able to wiggle it between the spring and the wheel. The rest went on easy. I think it will work great.
It doesn’t fit quite right but it’s adequate. The big lock needs a weather proof cover to keep water out and freezing. It popped the key guide off and I almost didn’t get it off.
Awesome addition to my tools. Never worry about a stolen trailer again
This wheel lock is an upgrade this one is a heavy duty and provides better security
Overall a good product.
1. However, the bolt, nut and washer were loose in the packaging. It took me awhile to find them.
2. I couldn’t tighten the jaws until I placed a small piece of wood on the inside of the wheel rim; otherwise the jaws kept falling off even after they were tightened to maximum. I suggest a small block be added to the kit.
3. The instructions left a bit to be desired.
This will work after all said and done. It’s a well designed piece of equipment with only a few solvable drawbacks.
I recommend the product. It’s the best I’ve seen for the application.
This works well easy to install and remove would highly recommend this product.
works great.
Loved the Wheellock but have not installed yet. However I would give the information packet about a 2 stars because of the very poor grammer and total mispells. Sorry but someone needs to edit it and get it squared away. Any questions please email me.
etrailers has out done themselves again. the extra lock on this makes it a great deal. Thanks for all you do for us. Gilbert Lopez
If you tighten the screw too far on the wheel cover,
it comes completely out of its socket and is impossible to put back. I will be returning ASAP
Very Heavy Duty and SOLID! I believe it is a wise investment that will protect my Teardrop investment well.
I am missing the rocking handle

It works great. Before we installed it someone had attempted to steal our trailer. We happened to notice someone cutting off out tongue lock, so we immediately blocked our trailer, installed the Trimsx heavy duty adjustable wheel lock and a new tongue lock. Were thinking about ordering a second wheel lock.
Great except that the box came apart a bit in transit and my item arrived missing a screw.
