Is The ICON Trailer Coupler Lock Hard To Install?  

Published 09/09/2025

Question:

I’ve seen some folks say the ICONs are hard to install. How does the AL43DQ install?

Troy, some ICONs are snug because they’re precision-cast, but that’s part of their security. The # AL43DQ slides on pretty smoothly over the Hit-N-Hitch profile. The lock core uses a disc-detainer “outdoor profile” key that's designed to resist picking and survive in the elements. I've attached a demonstration video for you, but basically you'll unscrew (by hand) the metal cap covering the key hole, then unlock it and slide the pin down, place it on in your coupler and latch it in place, then push the pin up and turn the key to lock it and replace the cap. It's very simple!

Keep in mind, this is only designed to fit the Hitch-N-Lock couplers, and won't fit anything else. If you have a standard 2-5/16" coupler that is flat style go with # AL63DQ, or for cast style go with # AL38DQ.

Have you used any other coupler locks? These are basically the best of the best on the market, so I'd highly recommend it.
