Question:
Hello, I have an aluma 8214HS TILT trailer that has a 2” coupler with a 5/16” hole for a coupler pin. I am having a hard time finding a theft deterrent/safety coupler pin that has a lock on it for this 5/16th size of a hole. Do you guys carry any lockable coupler pins that are this size? Thanks in advance!

Expert Reply:
Hello Davis. The 1/4" pins are the standard for most coupler locks, and unfortunately, we do not offer anything with a 5/16" diameter. A 1/4" pin such as part # e98886, can still be used, but there may be a bit more play than you would like.
Another good option for theft deterrent is a universal coupler lock like the Trimax Universal Trailer Coupler Lock # TMX47FR. This will work with the 2" ball and will fit a wide variety of coupler styles up to 4-1/2" wide overall.
