eZ-Latch Coupler

This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic.

I decided I wanted to renew my Dad's old trailer. Starting with a trailer coupler upgrade to the adjustable "eZ-Latch". Thanks to etrailer it was an easy, convenient one stop shop and I couldn't be more pleased with the products and service. When it comes time to do the running gear and tires, etrailer will be my source.

Thank you!



by:

Nice heavy duty coupler. Used in highway construction. If you want to keep your trailer attached, do not use a cheap coupler.



by:

Nice piece, very well made. Its just as advertised and simple to latch the coupler onto the ball. My trailer came with a pintle hitch and I hated the slop, this is tight, quiet and rated for 10K.

  • Bolts for Demco Channel Mount Trailer Coupler
    The Demco Trailer Coupler # DM12688-95 does install to a channel bracket using bolts like what we find in the Kit # DM6166. If you were looking for a bolt-on channel bracket then the part # DM13867-52 would be what you're looking for which fits 3" wide channel tongues. If you were talking about something else please let me know and I'd be happy to look into it.

  • Can an A-Frame Coupler be Removed and a Flat Plate or Channel Coupler Installed in its Place
    Your plan could definitely work but what I would do is weld on a channel, such as # DM59601, and using a coupler such as # DM12688-95 for a 2 inch ball or # DM07678-95 for a 2-5/16 inch ball. And of course, some hardware, # PS024202, to mount the coupler to the channel. This type of set up was designed to take off/move the coupler more so than a flat mount. Like you said there is a lot of welding that will need to be done especially to reach the capacity needed. It sounds like you have...

  • Can The Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler # DM15349-52 Be Mounted On a Lets Go Aero Trailer?
    I reached out to Lets Go Aero for confirmation that you can even use the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler # DM15349-52 and they said that you will not have any structural issues with having the bolt holes drilled in the sides of your Frame as the Demco will require. Since the holes in the new coupler will not line up centered on your frame rails you will need to pad out the top of the frame 1/2" with some additional steel to center the bolt holes in the tube. You will need the Demco Trailer...

  • Replacement Surge Brake Actuator Assembly for Boat Trailer 3" Straight Bolt Pattern
    The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8669112 will fit the 3" frame on your boat trailer. I have attached a picture that will show the different bolt patterns as this on will sit above the frame and not quite on the frame. The 3 hole straight that you have will have bolt holes that are 0.85" below the top of the frame while the 3 hole standard holes on the # DM8669112 are 1.5" below the top of the frame rail. I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Manual Lockout # DM8760011....

  • Is Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator DM8759432 Bolt-On or Weld-On
    While we do have a bolt-on option, the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Primed - 12" Adjustable Channel Down - 8,000 lbs # DM8759432 is actually a weld-on actuator. If you are looking for a bolt-on option, there are a couple similar options: - Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 12" Adjustable Channel Center - 8,000 lbs # DM8758521 - Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 8" Adjustable Channel Down - 8,000 lbs # DM8759231 Your 11 inch channel is more than long...

  • Is a 2-7/8" Wide Channel Going to Allow For a 3" Wide Channel Coupler?
    I think you may have one of the Curt Channels # CU69FR rather than the more standard 3" wide channel on your trailer. This only fits the Curt SecureLatch Lunette Ring # CU99FR. The Coupler # DM12688-95 you found does require a 3" wide inside channel width. While the parts will sometimes allow for a little play an 1/8" is going to be to much of a difference.

  • Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Drum Brakes with Lockout
    The Lockout Solenoid Kit # DM5837 you referenced is not designed to fit the DA86 model of Demco actuators, which is the part # DM8608601 you referenced. There is an alternative option for a similar hydraulic drum brake actuator with a lockout that I recommend checking out, the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Manual Lockout - Drum - Zinc - 8" Adjustable Channel - 8K # DM8760011. This is just the channel portion of the coupler and I recommend adding the Demco Trailer Coupler - Adjustable...

  • Recommended Replacement Coupler for Atwood 83000 Surge Brake Actuator Coupler
    The Atwood 83000 was a 8,000 lb drum brake actuator for a 2 inch hitch ball that has been discontinued. For a replacement I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Drop - Drum - Zinc - 2" Ball - 8,000 lbs # DM8669112. The only other option for that 8,000 lb capacity is a channel mount like the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 8" Adjustable Channel Down - 8,000 lbs # DM8759131 which will allow you to use a coupler like the Demco Trailer Coupler - Adjustable Channel...

  • Recommendation for 2 Inch Ball, Bolt-On Trailer Coupler
    I have a solution for you, but Titan does not offer their Bolt-On Coupler for 2-5/16 Inch Ball # T4855300 in a 2 inch hitch ball design. For a bolt-on trailer coupler with a trigger latch, designed for a 2 inch ball I recommend the Demco Trailer Coupler, Adjustable Channel Mount, # DM12688-95. This coupler will mount in a 3 inch channel, like # DM59601, and has a weight capacity of 12,500 pounds. This is the highest capacity adjustable mount coupler we offer for a 2 inch hitch ball.

  • Recommended Channel Mount Coupler/Brake Controller Installation for Trailer Towed By 2010 Tacoma
    The Demco # DM12688-95 you've looked at would be a good choice. The 2 inch channel mount coupler is compatible with a 3 inch channel, and has bolt spacing of 2 inches on center. Demco is known for high quality products, you'll get years of service out of the coupler. With a 10K capacity it'll be a lot stronger than you really need, but whenever you're talking weight capacities and safety, a little overkill is a good thing. I've heard of absolutely no problems with the Demco Ez-Latch system....

  • Identifying Free Backing Trailer Brake Assemblies When Replacing Atwood 85778 Surge Brake
    To check for a Free Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brake # AKFBBRK-35 you will need to remove your brake drum assembly. The free backing brakes have a different front brake shoe. This shoe is designed to fall away when the trailer is moving in reverse. The fall away brake shoe will have a pivot point in the shoe that allows it to fall away(See Image). The Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator # DM72VR can be used with the free backing brakes as the Demco 8605001 is no longer an active item....

  • Replacement for Dico Model 5 Brake Actuator for 1980 V/M Boat Trailer With 4 Inch Channel Tongue
    Unfortunately, we don't offer a surge coupler to designed to slip over a 4 inch trailer tongue. I tried doing a Google search for a Dico model 5 to locate a recommended replacement, and got zero results and didn't get any results for 4 inch wide surge coupler either. I believe your best choice would be a weld on application like # DM8759922 which would weld to the top of the trailer tongue. You'll want to use a professional welder to do this for you. You'll also need a coupler like #...

  • Recommended Replacement Surge Brake Actuator For Atwood 85778 For Drum Brakes or Disc Brake Upgrade
    You are correct that parts are no longer available for your Atwood 85778 brake actuator. I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Manual Lockout # DM8760011 as a replacement if you wish to keep your drum brakes. A Demco Trailer Coupler # DM12688-95 will attach to the 3" channel on the actuator for a 2" ball connection. It really comes down to if you are happy with the performance of your current drum brakes. I like seeing disc brakes used in heavy duty applications, on boat...

  • Solution for Replacement Hydraulic Brake Actuator on U-Haul Trailer With 4 Wide Tongue

  • Recommended Adjustable 2 Ball Coupler To Replace A Lunette Ring On A Trailer
    If you are replacing your current lunette ring, you will need to check on 2 measurements to make sure a coupler will fit your channel. First will be the width and second will be the hole spacing. As an example, the Demco Trailer Coupler - Adjustable Channel Mount # DM12688-95 will fit a 3" wide channel and will have 2" hole spacing when measured center to center. This is also designed for the use with a 2" ball and will have a 10,000 max capacity. Odds are this will match what you have...
