The etrailer coupler lock works great and is very easy to use.
Need it for security as enclosed trailer won’t fit in a regular garage. Leave expensive items in trailer sometimes.

by: Kyle 03/09/2026

Item arrived promptly and was as described. Easy to attach to my trailer coupler and provides added protection and security when not hooked up to my truck.

by: Rick 03/13/2024

Fits and in now protecting the trailer as it sits in the yard.
Quick shipping and I thought a good price.

@Rick Awesome! What kind of trailer do you have?

by: Planetcat 04/30/2022

Fits great on my big tex trailer with 2” ball hitch. Not sledge hammer proof, but would be difficult and noisy to pry off with a big bar. Uses normal cut keys too, so little chance of breaking the key off or stripping a round hex key. It is made of aluminum, which is great for corrosion resistance, but steel might be stronger. The locking pin is stainless steel though. Nice powder coat finish, too.

After a year, the lock is still in good shape after being outside the whole time. No rust or other issues, opens and closes fine. Still provides an extra layer of security for my trailer.

by: Wesley 02/10/2024

Excellent product. We have a problem with trailers being stolen and this sure stops that from happening.

This inexpensive little trailer lock from etrailer works great. It is quick and easy to install and remove. Its sturdy aluminum construction makes it a formidable theft deterrent. I could not be happier with this purchase.

I have been using this Trailer Coupler Lock from etrailor for over a year now and I am completely satisfied with its performance. It is very easy to use and has proven to be an effective theft deterrent. I would happily buy it again.

by: Vincent 08/28/2023 One Year Later

Key is thin and flimsy - bent easily then broke off inside coupler (luckily I managed to remove it). HOWEVER - etrailer was great about getting me a replacement key. I was blown away by how helpful Kim was to make sure I was taken care of!)

This is an amazing product

by: Paul 08/30/2021

I will be using the coupler lock for my boat trailer in conjunction with a master lock trigger lock. I selected the trailer coupler lock due to its design and easy installation.

by: Robert 08/05/2021

Excellent item. Well made, fair price. Ordered 2 different models (2 in. and 2 5/16 in.), and they did indeed match the keys for the two different locks.

by: Alex 06/08/2023

Ordered this product keyed alike with two other locks. Mistakingly, this was not sent keyed alike as the other two. Called Etrialer and immediately they acknowledged the mistake and processed the order to ship me the product keyed alike. I will be taking my boat on a trip this weekend and they even offered tk have it shipped to where I would be. Customer Service is always excellent. Thats why they are always my first choice and I always buy from them.

by: Vernon 09/12/2022

This lock works great for my boat trailer that has a "lip" on the hitch.

by: Timothy 05/20/2018

Four Stars because nobody has tried to steal it. Yet. However, I'm pleased with the fit on my 1 7/8" trailer tongue. I feel pretty sure a sledge hammer would knock it off, but how many thieves are packin' sledge hammers?! I also put a Masterlock on the trailer latch. At this point, I would recommend both!

by: Todd C 12/15/2011

The blockhead lock is light weight but heavy duty,the key is cut like an automotive key so you can insert it without having to worry if the teeth are up or down.Great feature when its dark out.The sleek design looks good too.Its giving me great peace of mind knowing it will protect my investment...Also will not rust,awesome unit.. received product quickly, will def use etrailer in the future....

by: Robert 05/21/2025

Nice product. Looks of great quality.
Maybe not the ultimate in strength but enough of a deterrent for my purposes.
Would buy again if I have a similar need again. Price was also very fair.

by: trailer bldr 07/01/2012

Fits my 1 7/8 coupler on my harbor freight folding trailer. Slightly loose but holds securely enough. Will not be able to pry off. Easy operation and like the dual sided cut key.

by: Scott 05/17/2023

The product is good and will work for my needs. eTrailer.com is amazing. Fast shipping and excellent communication. For sure my preferred supplier.

by: Larry B 08/19/2011

I especially like this product as you only need the key to unlock it.You don't need the key to lock it on the trailer and that is different than most I look at.Order process was easy and the product arrived very quickly.Very satisfiedLarry

by: Walter 12/01/2019

It's a theft deterrent and will not stop a thief equipped with some simple trick from getting your trailer. But better than no protection.
It's a simple to install device.

by: Steve C 03/21/2014

Exactly what I was expecting. Fast painless ordering and shipping. Nice heavy duty lock. Well designed and machined.

Can Hitch Lock For 2" Hitch & Coupler Lock For 2" Hitch Ball be Keyed Alike
Hey Manny, Yes, you can get a lock for a 2" hitch and a lock for a 2" ball coupler keyed alike.

Lock For Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2 Inch Ball
There are a couple of different ways you can lock the Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2" Ball, either with a standard coupler lock, or you can use a 1/2 inch diameter hitch pin lock, since that is the same size as the pin and clip (though you should always use the pin and clip that come with the coupler when towing and not a lock). So to lock it you can use any of the following options, depending on what you prefer: - etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip 1-7/8" and 2"...

Best Coupler Lock for Demco Channel Tongue Coupler
My best recommendation is the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock # e98887. This lock fits into either one of the two pin holes of your coupler # 12564. This locks your latch into place so one can't disconnect it from your tow vehicle. It also works when your trailer is stored unhitched since thieves can't hitch your trailer to their vehicle with this lock in the way. Another popular lock for trailer storage is the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip Couplers # e98893. This completely...

How to Use the etrailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip Couplers
I can absolutely explain how the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for your flat lip coupler works, and it is extremely simple. What happens is you will slide the lock over your flat lip coupler, and push the pin up - it won't take any strength at all, you can do it with a finger. With the pin up, just turn the key and you're done; it's locked to the coupler. When you want to remove it, turn the key in the opposite direction and the pin will come down. That's literally all there is to it!...

Coupler Lock Suggestion For A U-Haul 6x12 Cargo Trailer
I did some research and it looks like your U-Haul trailer will accept 1 7/8"- 2" ball, so # e98893 will be the correct part, although you should double check yourself. If it turns out yours is larger than that, part # e98894 will work accept a 2" to 2 5/16" ball and would be the correct choice.

Can Multiple Master Lock Trailer Coupler Locks ML389DAT Be Ordered With Same Key
I do have options but the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock part # ML389DAT does not have a keyed-like option so even if you were to order multiple at the same time, they still would not come with the same key most likely.

What is the Distance Between Bolt Holes on 1-7/8
From center to center, the distance between the two side bolt holes on # CT-2003-Z is 2-1/4". On # DL13728 the distance is 3". Both trailer couplers fit a 3" channel tongue, a 1-7/8" ball and are rated at 2,000 lbs. If you are replacing your coupler, it may also be time to replace your coupler lock. I recommend the etrailer.com Coupler Lock, # e98893, which works with 1-7/8" couplers.

Recommended Coupler, Coupler Latch and Locking Hitch Pins All Keyed Alike
I may have a solution for you, but those MasterLock trailer locks you were looking at unfortunately cannot be keyed alike, so you'd need some different options. For the coupler locks I recommend using the etrailer 2-5/16" coupler lock # e98894 or etrailer 1-7/8" or 2" coupler lock # e98893. For the latch lock I recommend using the etrailer # e98885 and for the locking hitch pins I recommend using the # e98882. You could have all of these parts keyed alike so you'd only need 1 key.

Recommended Lock for Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler
For the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-81 you can use the etrailer # e98887. This will fit the pin hole on the coupler keeping it secure. Another option is the # e98893 which fits over the coupler and blocks the ball opening. You could also use both at the same time for added security. Since these are both etrailer locks, you can select the keyed alike option so they use the same key for your convenience.

For a 2 inch lock, go with the # e98882 or for a 2-1/2 inch hitch, use # e98881. The etrailer brand coupler locks can also be had keyed alike the same way, such as # e98886 for a latch style coupler lock with a 2 inch span (many other width spans available) or the Fat Lip # e98893 for 1-7/8 or 2...
