Alternative for Pin Lock for TorkLift GlowStep Scissor Steps

Question

Question:

Ive purchased one of these locks before and it unlocked itself and fell off on my first 2 hour highway only road trip. This was after falling off in my drive way just from raising the glow steps. Even if I had a faulty one it seems that they would easily be pryed off. Are there any other option for locking the glow steps? This is for a truck camper with steps mounted onto an aluminum deck.

The etrailer Trailer Coupler Latch Lock part # e98889 is very similar to the Pin Lock for TorkLift GlowStep Scissor Steps part # TLA7509 so you should be able to swap the two without issue. The etrailer lock is threaded unlike the TorkLift so there will be no accidental unlocking.

Unfortunately no, the Pin Locks for TorkLift FastGun and Derringer Turnbuckle Handles #TLS9500 will all use the same key, however the TorkLift Tie Down Locks #TLS9700 will use a different set of keys as they are not able to be keyed alike.

Not following the manufacturer's instructions to the letter will give them an excuse if something were to happen so while I can't recommend drilling the extra holes to ensure it's safely mounted, it's the only way that the steps will…
