How Many Locking Lug Nuts are Recommended Per Trailer Wheel
Updated 04/11/2013 | Published 03/20/2013
Question:
Would you place two of these on each wheel or if you have four tires on your trailer use one per each wheel and buy two sets?

Helpful Expert Reply:
One locking lug nut per wheel would be the most efficient way to do it. These are sold in pairs because each axle has two wheels (one per wheel).
If a thief was willing to dedicate the time to defeat one locking lugnut, a second one would not make a big enough difference to convince them to stop, so it would be a bit of waste to have 2 per wheel.

Thanks Jameson - appreciate your response and video message. etrailer.com should be voted one of the best online retailer around. Nice work. BTW, I decided to also order some additional locks for the coupler, etc. for extra protection. I know a thief will steal it if they want to, but I will laugh when I see all the work they had to go through at least.
