We do have locks that will work with your Dexter A-60 Brake Actuator # DX56FR. The Coupler Lock # e98888 will allow you to secure the trailer to your vehicle when towing. This lock pin replaces the included push pin which comes with the actuator.

For storage you will want to use the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-316. This can be used with the coupler lock above as well.
