Dual-ratchet locking system and hardened steel shackle provide 360 degrees of protection for your trailer coupler and peace of mind when you leave your trailer unattended. Also works as a general-purpose U-lock.
Features:
Specs:
You can lock your trailer coupler with a padlock, but it might not provide enough security to keep your trailer safe. A padlock can only be used to lock the coupler latch on your coupler, and to fit through the latch, the shackle on it has to be pretty thin. That means the shackle on a padlock is typically easy to cut.
The shackle on this wraparound lock is considerably thicker than a standard padlock shackle, making it harder to cut through. Also, because the shackle on this lock wraps around the head of your coupler instead of just fitting through the tiny latch, it just plain looks more secure.
The built-in ball on this lock engages in your coupler's ball socket, completely blocking the opening to prevent any tampering. The shackle fits over your coupler and ratchets down tightly and evenly. Because it ratchets on both sides, even if someone manages to slice through the shackle, it won't be enough to remove the lock. A (patient) thief would have to cut the thick shackle in multiple places to work it off of your coupler.
To install this lock on your trailer:
First, remove the shackle from the lock body and insert the built-in ball into your coupler's ball socket.
Then, position the shackle over your coupler and line it up with the holes in the lock body. Push the shackle down, ratcheting it until it's snug around the coupler.
This lock can also be used as a general-purpose U-lock so you can lock down chains, secure doors, and more. To use this as a U-lock, just remove the ball plug plate and set it aside.

Fits good and locks down tight
I’ve got these locks on all my trailers and only had 1 fail in the 15 years I’ve been using them.
Fits very well and should add security
Very good transaction. Needed a lock with a wider opening for the shackle than others.
Product was great but the order almost didn't make it to me in its entirety. They shipped everything including the two hitch couples (heavy objects) in a small wimpy cardboard box that was all broken up with a 2 inch hole by the time it got here. The packaging (plastic) of the lock was also broken inside and it was a miracle that the keys got stuck inside one of the couplers or else they would have fallen out of the hole in the cardboard box. The cap was also there but could have fallen out. Zero packaging like bubble wrap etc. Come on guys you are professionals, I know you can do better than that... Zero stars on packing the order... nobody wants to deal with broken or missing items, let's do better next time.
This is my second Trimax trailer lock nothing wrong with first one but got two trailers now and not happy with the Reese lock not secure enough for me. The Trimax definitely a heavy duty quality lock.
Simple to install. Liked the cover for the keyhole to keep weather and debris out. Great idea. Looking forward to years of service.
Nice product
I have 6 of these on different trailers. Great locks and provide good security for your average trailer.
The overall quality seems excellent! The locks work smoothly and will be perfect for my Ranger trailer and Seadoo trailer. I was also surprised to see both locks were keyed the same. A big plus in this case.
Fits well on my trailer tongue. Easy to lock and unlock.
After one year outside in all weathers, the lock still looks and works great.
Best coupler lock in this style. Great value.
When not securing trailer tongue used to secure items in trailer.
Better than some, price was fair. The lock cylinder doesn't feel like it will function well long term exposed to weather.
I like this coupler lock. I wanted something that would "hopefully" deter people from wanting to "borrow" my trailer. It fits nice and snug!
