Since the Demco Trailer Coupler # DM14040-81 that you referenced has a lock pin hole with a diameter of 5/16" and a minimum span of 3" for the pin lock, the BOLT Trailer Coupler Lock # BL7025285 that you referenced is compatible.

The pin diameter is 5/16" and it has a 1/2" - 3-3/8" inside pin length span.

Good question; the bolts in the Hardware Kit for Demco Adjustable Channel Mount Couplers #DM6166 should be torqued to 150 lb-ft during install of a Demco coupler like #DM14040-81 to a bracket like #DM66134.

Yes, you can use a coupler pin or safety pin with the Demco Trailer Coupler #DM14040-81. A pin like the #37201211 will fit the 5/16" pin hole or you can use the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock #e98888 if you want even more security.

Generally the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole part #DM14793-81 is very easy to release. There is a lock/pin hole located just under the latch that may have a pin in it preventing it from opening. I have linked a photo showing exactly where…

Answer 11

Personally I prefer the Demco Trailer Coupler #DM14976-52 with the composite handle over the Coupler #DM15791-81 with a metal handle. I feel it is easier to operate as it does not have the safety latch like you get on the metal handle. Since most…

Hey Randy. Drilling the 5/8" holes out to make them 3/4" is going to effect the integrity of the Black Demco Trailer Coupler item #DM69FR. I recommend going with the White item #DM99VR which already is pre-drilled for 3/4". It has the…
