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..
We are in Gulf Shores AL. Our tool trailer is at my sister's house in Kansas. There is a lot of theft in this small town. I put this on and haven't had any theft. It's a well made wheel lock.
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.

Still very satisfied with the product.
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!!!
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.
Recently I replaced all the wood on my utility trailer. Both the decking and I added 3 foot side rails to it. It looks brand new, but I did not have a way to lock it to. I thought about the trailer hitch lock, but would have to undo the hitch every time I had to lock it. I purchased the etrailer Trailer Wheel Lock. It is very easy to install and has a round key for added protection. Now I can lock my trailer without unhitching from my truck.
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.
This trailer lock is easy and simple to use. Quick to put on and quick to remove. My trailer hasn’t been stolen yet!
Product works great.
Hefty quality product
Some of the best service I have received in a long time. Product came about 4 days early.I've always had excellent service from etrailer.
Well made,excellent theft deterrent.
Also used a few times on motorcycle
with peace of mind that it was secure!
I Have NEVER Experienced Anything Negative with any of the Products I purchased from E-Trailer. You Recieve it on Time and It is As Advertised. Can't wait to Use This Priduct. Keep up The Good Work.
This is one heavy duty wheel clamp/boot lock. It appears to be well made of tempered steel and it is easy to install. I purchased this product for my Bass Boat Trailer. Even though I have one of the best Trailer Hitch Ball Locks, I now have a second method of securing my Bass Boat & Trailer while it sits in my driveway. Now, I will rest a little easier knowing that if some low life is contemplating on stealing my boat and trailer from my driveway, he/she is really going to have to really work at it. I'm thinking of getting another on of these wheel clamp/boot locks for the other wheel. I highly recommend this product if you need a wheel clamp/boot lock..it will give you some peace of mind.

Still a GREAT product! No complaints. I highly recommend.
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.

With any lock, it is not going to be 100 percent theft proof. Whenever you are looking to secure a trailer, the best strategy is to use multiple locks together like the wheel lock part # 288-02020 along with a coupler lock like part # TMX67FR which fits all three coupler ball sizes. Using multiple locks together will make it unappealing to a would-be thief.
This item works well. It appears to lock in a way that would take some time and effort with the proper force tools to get it off the trailer wheel. As with all locks, this is simply a deterrent, but does offer something else for the thieves to get past.

I used the wheel lock on a cross country trip to help secure our trailer at every overnight hotelmotel stop. It worked well as we had no theft issues. The lock itself has remained in good condition and continues to work just fine.
Have used this product with on issues. It's a great deterrent. The only issue I have is the plastic cap over the lock opening is too tight and hard to put on so just don't bother with it.
The wheel lock was exactly as etrailer described and fit my travel trailer perfectly. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick.

Working great. Easy to operate, yellow maybe looks a tad garish but thats the point, right?
I purchased this wheel lock for a small cargo trailer I pull behind my small motorhome. It allows me to securely leave my trailer at my campsite while I travel around. It works well and I'm happy with my purchase.

Because of covid I havent travelled much. However it still works well.
Unfortunetly, yes, our trailer was stolen. We had the wheel lock on, and an inexpensive hitch lock. They used bolt cutters on the hitch lock, backed up, hitched the trailer up and took off with the wheel lock still on. The wheel lock broke apart into pieces as they drove off. We know have a much beefier ($250)hitch lock. We pretty much gave up on the wheel lock.
I have ordered from etrailer several times. Their products and product videos are top notch. Delivery is quick, and packaging excellent. Great company to do business with.
I can't believe for the price how wonderful this product is. I feel safe leaving my trailer hitched up to my truck out in my driveway every night because no one is going to be able to steal it. I highly recommend it. I have used it every single day for the past year and it is still in excellent condition despite being out in the rain, heat, cold, etc. In fact, I am getting ready to purchase a second trailer for my landscaping business and I am going to buy another on of the these for the new trailer!
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.
Works as advertised. Easy on and off. It’s hard to conclude any causal relationship between the use of this product and the absence of theft. My trailer is still here. Could be just luck or because of this lock. Coincidence or cause and effect? I don’t know but I’m satisfied. One side benefit is that it also acts as a secondary wheel chock for added security when parked on a slope. It should not be used instead of a wheel chock, but in addition to one. My trailer is parked on a hill with two wheel chocks and this wheel lock. The trailer hasn’t moved. I would recommend this product.

After using the Stallion Trailer Wheel Lock for over a year now, I am pleased to say it continues to work properly and is an effective solution to prevent trailer theft. A very economical and effective tool that I would recommend to anyone with a trailer exposed to the outside world.
