Question:

On Youtube, a fellow from Fort Knox Locks defeats a Curt lock that looks very similar to etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock - Item # e98897 by simply knocking the lock cylinder out from the back... can this lock be defeated the same way?

Expert Reply:

While the etrailer coupler lock part # e98897 and the Curt # C23086 are somewhat similar the etrailer has a different lock setup so it would not be able to be defeated in the same way.

With that said I really like the Fastway coupler lock part # FA86-0015-317 as fits easier and provides the best protection that we've found.
