HI.....Im looking to purchase a Dexter Brake coupler P/N DX56RF. Is there a way to lock the coupler when not in use or trailer is parked so it cant be taken or stolen? Thanks

Welcome back Randy. To secure the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator item # DX56FR, I recommend our etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock item # e98888. This will allow you to lock the coupler to your tow vehicle's hitch ball. It will also secure your coupler so no one else can connect their vehicle to it and drive away.

For a stronger visual deterrent while your trailers in storage, the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock item # FA86-0015-316 will mount inside the ball opening and wrap around the top of the coupler.

What kind of trailer do you have and where do you typically store it?

You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
