Protect your investment with the etrailer wheel locking device. Simply go up to your tire, take these two apart. We're gonna go to where it goes on to our rim right there. And then once we're done, we can take these keys and we just press in this little lock cylinder here and then use the little cap to protect that core from any type of water damage and your trailer is locked up. To take it off, we just take one of the two keys that's in our kit. The tumbler is gonna be pretty pick proof because of our circular key.
So that's gonna give you extra peace of mind that no one's gonna be able to pick it. Once that pops out, we can take it and then we can put it back like this for storage. You can store it with the trailer and the toolbox like we have here, fits in there pretty nicely. It's a pretty small toolbox but you can also keep it with the vehicle. If you have a truck, throw it in the toolbox or just throw it underneath your seat.
This is gonna work with your tires that are anywhere from six and three quarter inches wide in the smallest. And then it's gonna go all the way up to 10 and a half inches wide. So you just wanna measure your tires to make sure that'll work. And another thing to think about is the reach. So from the inside of the crossbar to the tip of the clamp, that's gonna be our reach.
And that is eight and 1/2 inches. The whole goal here is to just go over to our tire and just make sure it's just gonna go past where the tire and the wheel meet. That's gonna be our reach right here with our 205/75 R15 tire. It reaches perfectly. This isn't just for trailers.
If you have wheels on something, you can use it. Maybe a golf cart, a side by side full wheeler or a vehicle, but this just shows you that with the larger tires like we have here, it's not really gonna work. It's not really the width of the tire. It's more of the reach. So the reach, what you wanna do is just measure from where your rim starts to go in to the very outside. We just wanna make sure it falls within those bounds we talked about earlier to make sure it's gonna fit. This is a 265/75 R16 tire. If that helps. My tire on my vehicle barely didn't fit. It's about eight and three quarter inches from the inside out here. So you have to make sure you're under eight and 1/2. This is gonna be great for storage when you can't really keep an eye on your rig throughout the whole entire winter season. So this is going to be nice and bright. So whoever wants to steal your trailer is just gonna look at it and walk away. So this is gonna prevent anybody from hooking up and then rolling with it. Let's just say they could hook up to your trailer. It's gonna be very, very tough to not destroy the trailer by doing this, but this is not a chock, okay You need to use these with wheel chocks. This is just going to lock it into place. The steel construction makes it super, super strong. So it's gonna hold up even if someone tries to go and take your trailer. And we also dip the edges right here. So if you have pretty aluminum wheels like this it scratch a little easy. You don't have to worry about it scratching with our etrailer wheel lock. This may come in handy. The handle's gonna be eight and a quarter inches long. So if you do want to put it in between your tires for whatever reason on your dual axle trailer you might wanna just chock the outsides of these wheels. But if you like to chock on the inside of the wheels it's gonna be just as secure if you just take this and then go on the outside. I think it all just comes down to what you really want and what depth going on on your rig. 'Cause this is gonna be just as secure as doing it in between the two tires. One thing I suggest getting for your setup is a set of these. What is this Well, it's a lug nut lock. So it's gonna prevent your wheel from coming off. If someone really wanted to steal your trailer and they saw this on there, if they we're really smart they would look at your spare tire. Take that off, jack this thing up, take this whole tire off and put the spare on and then they could use your trailer just like normal. So I do recommend locking your wheels to your trailers just to prevent any kind of theft from happening. If you already have chocks for your trailer the etrailer wheel lock is gonna be very nice. But if you need both, Trimax does make one that doubles as a chock. If you wanted to go that route. So that's something maybe I would compare it to but at the same time, they're pretty much the same thing. This one's just gonna prevent it from rolling as well. So that's what we got on our website. I really hope this helps. And that's everything you need to know about the etrailer wheel locking device..

This anti-theft device provides your car, trailer, or ATV with visible, locking security. The adjustable claw clamps easily around your tire and wheel, and locks into place. Soft-coated arms won't scratch your rims. Includes 2 tubular keys.After someone attempted to steal my business trailer but failed due to the hitch being locked, they attempted to roll it to the street but gave up as a neighbor spooked them. Found the etrailer wheel lock to be affordable, well designed, easy to operate, and effective. Also added a lug nut lock so the tire cannot be removed.
The website and service was good and the product was shipped within a few days.
I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an effective solution for those concerned about vehicle or trailer theft.
The wheel lock was exactly as etrailer described and fit my travel trailer perfectly. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick.
Trailer Wheel Lock is Durable and Heavy. Excellent product
This trailer lock is easy and simple to use. Quick to put on and quick to remove. My trailer hasn’t been stolen yet!
I haven’t been using this device because it is difficult to create a snug fit and hard to lock and unlock. I purchased a good hitch lock that is much easier to use and secures our travel trailer. This device has several “notches” where it locks. If your tire is in between two of those positions, you are forced to loosen it to the next wider setting making it fit the tire and wheel loosely.
Bought this to put on my boat trailer. Very well made and I think it's going to be a relief knowing it's secured.
The lock sticks frequently and the barrel key fell apart
The weld prevents the lock from locking into the closest position. As a result the wheel lock is loose and floppy and it may be possible to pry it off without too much trouble. Otherwise it is just fine. John
Great deterrent. We had a trailer stolen that used a lock between tandem wheels. Bad choice; easily kicked out. This lock is the one we should have bought. Trailers have been safe since the addition of ball lock and this wheel lock!
these wheel locks seem to work well. the metal is thinner than I expected but makes them easier to handle.
Since you asked.... total POS. I put the wheel lock on my trailer and the next morning I pulled out forgetting it was on there. I felt a soft bump and then another and then it dawned on me that it was on there. The first bump was on grass and the second was on asphalt. It took me less then 3 minutes to pry it apart with a screw driver after the key broke off in the lock. Conclusion- I THINK IT WOULD HAVE TOTALLY DISINTEGRATED ID I DROVE ANOTHER 50 FEET. I'm not mad because it was my own damn fault but I'm really glad it didn't damage my trailer! Strictly for show.
Wheel lock will keep the honest people honest. A good saws all and a couple minutes would make short work of it. The metal is pretty thin. But for the price point you get what you get.
Very good product! Recommended by our insurance company to receive additional rate discounts. We primarily used a ball hitch lock plus a chain through a tie-down, but this acts as another excellent visual deterrent we won't drive off with! Fast delivery and free shipping, along with quality products keeps me coming back!!!
Unbeatable piece of mind for the money! I've used it for over a year and it still looks and works like new.
We use these on all of our trailers as an extra layer of security, especially when being parked on the street overnight. They are simple and intuitive to use!
I just received my wheel lock and it seems to be a quality product. I’m sure a thief would be able to get this off but it will at least make it harder to steal.
Little disappointed that it will not fit the older drum brake systems with a backing plate. The baking plate interrupts the function of the claw so it will not insert.
Other then that seems like a good product.
This lock has worked great for me. It's fast to put on and seems really secure.
The only minor complaint is that the little piece of rubber between the lock cylinder and rubber lock guard has broken (likely because it got too much sun exposure). It's not a huge deal, I just need to remember to not misplace the rubber lock guard.
this lock is very easy to install and remove. the locking mechanism works well.
I love the wheel lock. I wanted to leave my golf cart in the driveway without the worry of theft. Looked at it. Read the reviews. Thought I'd give it a shot. Everything I have puchased from etrailer has been great, sturdy and functioned as described. Putchase with confidence. Btw...easy to use too.
Lock was easy to use..took seconds to install on the trailer wheels. Tested and the wheels do not budge.. Highly recommended for personal and light commercial use.
Product was delivered very quickly. Everything is in good condition and as described. Hopefully this product deters your average person. I'm using in combination with another deterrent on the hitch.
Fit and adaptablity was perfect installed on 79 cj7
We have a small trailer pulling behind an SUV. This really cuts down the rocking as we drive.
Easy to use and good design
