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. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the contoured handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Made of sturdy steel, this straight-tongue coupler features a durable silver powder coat finish that is designed to limit rust and corrosion. This finish has a 500-hour salt spray rating, making the coupler perfect for marine use. The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is constructed of a durable composite material that's corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

It has been a perfect upgrade and replacement for my 27ft enclosed snowmobile trailer! The EZ-latch function is a great feature! Highly recommend this hitch!
by: Brent D04/14/2019
Purchased to replace the “surge setup” on my 24 ft boat trailer= replace the neck, go with electric brakes....much better setup, and NO u will not have issues (being electric) when backing into the water. Much cheaper than fixing the worn out surge brake system. Great product / A+ customer service / much cheaper than any competitors price!
by: Craig 07/13/2023
Great option when ditching a surge brake model for electric over hydraulic. Wish it had a metal latch, but maybe it will last forever. Lost a star for that.
by: Outstanding Replacement06/03/2017
This replacement fit right on and bolted in place within 5 minutes. Probably would have been faster had I used power tools. I like the new ball latch much better. I have provided 2 photos for your viewing pleasure. First one without the product on and the second with the replacement attached and the old one setting on top. I want to say that George J provided excellent communications from the moment my order was processed all the way to delivery. etrailer by far has the best price & service. I would do business with them again in a heartbeat!!

Had to replace the existing 1 7/8” coupler with a new one and decided to go to a 2” ball to make the changing of trailers This fit perfect

Arrived in timely fashion , worked out great
by: Rick05/03/2018
I've been very happy with dealing with etrailer both in ordering and quickness of receiving my order. I have not installed this product as yet but have fitted and all looks good and I'm hoping it works as designed. This type of hitch will take away some pain and strain by not having to manually lock onto ball.
by: Larry03/22/2019
Folks if you've never had the ease of this hitch you are missing it. It's by far the easiest hitch I've EVER used. Back up n line up under it, then simply let trailer down on the ball. The black latch raises up then back down and it's latched, put safety pin in and done. Best of all the way it's made, it's nearly impossible to come off by accident. Great service too.

Best Coupler I have ever owned
by: Peace08/15/2019
We were needing to upgrade our hitch for a towable piece of equipment in our rental fleet and this Demco with the EZ Latch was the perfect choice.
by: Steve03/15/2022
Don't understand why this order was shipped out USPS. Took two extra days to get here when UPS would've been 1 day. Also assumed that the couple was zinc but is painted.
by: George 09/04/2020
Fit my 3" channel just fine.

- Can Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52 be Welded OnIf you wanted to weld on the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52 that you referenced you could. This is powdercoated so you'd need to sand off the powdercoating where you plan to weld.
view full answer... - Hole Distance from Top of Demco Coupler DM15000-52From the higher hole centers to the top of the coupler measures 1 inch. From the lower hole to the top of the coupler measures 1-1/8 inches.
view full answer... - Coupler Recommendation for 3 inch Channel With Easy to Use Latch SystemFor easy operation I really like the Demco Couplers part # DM15000-52 that have the eZ latch system. It'll work for a very long time and won't get difficult to operate. This is confirmed to fit 3 inch frame channel and on 2 inch hitch balls as well.
view full answer... - 2" Trailer Coupler Alternative for 4" Trailer Tongue ChannelThe largest channel size we have fits a 3" wide channel so you'll have to do some modifications to get it to fit. Alternatively, we also have the Buyers Products Coupler w/ 3-Position Adjustable Channel # 3370091543 which is a weld-on application that you can potentially use if your trailer tongue design allows. For this type of installation it's best to consult a professional welder or trailer shop who has done this type of work before.

It is compatible with 3 inch channel width and has bolt holes in the spacing I've attached in the photo. It has an automatic latch that will allow you to connect when the latch is in the closed position by just dropping the coupler over the ball, the latch with snap into place. It has a silver powder coat finish and is rated for 500-hour...

- Length added to Trailer Tongue When Demco # DM15000-52 or DM12563 Coupler is InstalledThe two couplers you referenced are identical size-wise. The # DM15000-52 is a bolt-on application with the EZ latch system and a silver finish. The DM12563 uses a standard latch, is a weld-on application and has a red finish. For the # DM15000-52, the easiest way to locate how far forward the coupler would extend would be to measure forward from the front most mounting hole 7.09 inches. The distance forward from the point where the coupler narrows will depend on how far from tolerance...

- BOLT Trailer Coupler Lock That Fits The 2 Inch Demco EZ Latch CouplerYes, the BOLT Trailer Coupler Lock # BL7032492 will fit your Demco EZ Latch Coupler # DM15000-52. This coupler lock with fit 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" couplers.
view full answer... - Recommended 2" Bolt on Coupler for a Folding Tongue Trailer The Titan Zinc-Plated Coupler item # T4845000 will work with a fold away tongue so long as it has a 3" channel. There isn't a way to increase the length. This coupler has a 500 lbs capacity and fits a 2" ball. These couplers are quite a bit smaller but all close to the same size. For a larger coupler you will have to go up in capacity. I recommend the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # DM15000-52. The Demco has an EZ-Latch that makes hooking up your trailer extremely easy. This...
view full answer... - Trailer Coupler Replacement for Shelby 5138The Shelby coupler you have now is a standard trigger-latch style of coupler that fits a 3 inch frame channel which we have great replacements for. For a high quality replacement I would recommend the Demco coupler part # DM15000-52 which has a very easy to use latch system that also is very reliable and won't get hard to use over time like most do. This also fits a 2 inch hitch ball. Check out the review video I attached for more info on this coupler as well.
view full answer... - Pin Lock Recommendation for Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52Best option we have is the part # e98887 for a pin lock for the Demco coupler part # DM15000-52. This has a pin diameter of 1/4 inch and a length of 2-1/2 inches so it will fit tight to your coupler and fit well still.
view full answer... - Replacmenet for Shelby 5107 Trailer CouplerSo what you're looking for is a straight tongue coupler for a 2" ball with a 3" channel that can handle at least 7,500 lbs. For a replacement that fits these requirements we have a few options from Demco. If you want a zinc finish with a 200-Hour salt spray rating we have the # 12564. If you would rather have a silver powder coat finish with a 500 hour rating we have the # DM15000-52. Both have a 10,000 lb weight capacity and a bolt-on installation. Both of these also have an eZ-Latch...
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Convert 2014 VM Boat Trailer With Surge Disc Brakes To Electric Over HydraulicYes, the Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS481-8067 would be the correct kit to use on your boat trailer with surge disc brakes. Depending on what type of channel and coupler you have will decide on the best coupler. Most boat trailers will use a 3" wide coupler so you might find either the 2" Ball # DM15000-52 or 2-5/16" Ball # DM13203-52 to be your best option. If you can measure your trailer tongue and send me an image of your current coupler...
view full answer... - Replacement For Shelby 5135 Trailer Coupler Without Trigger LatchYou mentioned A-frame, though it looks like the Shelby 5135 is a straight tongue coupler, so I'll give options for both. Since you don't want a trigger latch you'll need to upgrade to a 10k coupler but that won't be an issue, and here is what you can use: - A-Frame Coupler: Demco Cast Head Coupler # DM37ZR - Straight Tongue Coupler: Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52 Both the # DM37ZR and # DM15000-52 are bolt on, fit a 2" hitch ball, and use an eZ-latch so you'll just...
view full answer... - Coupler Lock Recommendation for Rental Trailer with Demco EZ Latch CouplerThanks for the picture of the coupler of your rental trailer. Based on that we know it's a Demco EZ latch so for a lock that will work great securing it to your hitch ball we know the etrailer coupler lock part # e98887 would work well. It fits right into the pin hole on your coupler behind the latch and will prevent it from unlatching.

- Does Surge Brake Actuator Need To Be Replaced Or Locked Out When Electric Brakes Are Installed?Since your 26' Eagle Boat Trailer with Tandem Axles has electric brakes now, you do not want to have a functioning surge brake actuator and it will need to be locked out or replaced with a standard coupler. Now drilling a hole and using a wood screw like the previous owner is not a recommended method to lockout the coupler, and it would be better to have a welder weld the inner and outer sleeves to keep it from engaging the master cylinder. If you would rather get rid of it all together...
view full answer... - What To Do with Trailer Coupler When Switching from Surge to Electric BrakesThere are a few options for the trailer coupler when switching from surge to electric trailer brakes. If the coupler has a pin that can be used to lock this out then that would be best but the other options are welding the slide or replacing it entirely. If you don't have a pin then I recommend a full replacement. In order to find a replacement you'll need to know the trailer weight and frame style. The Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # DM15000-52 for example is for a 3" straight...
view full answer... - Recommended Lock for Demco Channel Tongue Coupler With eZ LatchThe lock I recommend for the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - eZ-Latch # DM15000-52 is the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock # e98887. This lock is going to do a great job of keeping your trailer safe and sound and will work perfectly with the Demco latch. I have added a link to a video review of the lock as well as the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - eZ-Latch # DM15000-52.

- Lock Recommendation for Demco EZ Latch Trailer CouplerFor a Demco EZ latch coupler like the part # DM15000-52 we have the etrailer pin lock part # e98887 which would work great. You can select keyed alike too so that they'd both use same key.
view full answer... - Longest 2" Ball Coupler For 3" Trailer TongueThanks for the photo, and that's an interesting issue. Realistically though, standard trailer couplers are shorter than their surge brake actuator counterparts, and there's unfortunately just no way around that. I can give you the longest possible option, but it is going to be shorter because brake actuators need a place to house the cylinder and standard couplers do not. The longest 2" ball coupler for a 3" channel is from Demco: - Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52 The...

- Is There a Trailer Coupler for 50mm Hitch Balls That Can Support Over 5,000 LbsI do have straight tongue trailer couplers that will work with a 50mm hitch ball and I do have straight tongue trailer couplers that can support 7,000+ lbs. That said, I don't have one that can do both as you are around the max weight for a 50mm hitch ball and could even be over in some cases depending on your exact hitch ball so be sure to check the top. The trailer couplers we offer compatible with 50mm hitch ball like the Titan Trailer Coupler part # T2343400 max out at 5,000 lbs. Therefore,...
view full answer... - What Does 2" or 3" Channel Mean For Straight Tongue Trailer CouplerI believe you were referring to in general what does a 2" or 3" channel mean since you didn't reference any specific coupler, but a 2" or 3" channel is simply the width of the your trailer tongue the coupler attaches to. For example the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-3001-Z fits a 2" wide trailer tongue and the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52 fits a 3" wide trailer tongue. I have added a link below to our entire selection of straight tongue trailer couplers for...
view full answer... - Should Titan Model 10 Surge Brake Actuator Be Locked Out Or Replaced For EOH Brakes?The HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HBA16 you were looking at is the correct Electric Over Hydraulic actuator for the disc brakes on your tandem axle boat trailer. You can lock out your Titan Model 10 surge brake actuator by having it welded which will cause it to not allow the inertia of the trailer to activate the brackets. Since your trailer has a bolt on coupler it would be easier to replace the coupler with a standard coupler like the Demco...

- Does Surge Coupler Need to Be Replace if Trailer is Converted to Electric BrakesIt isn't necessary to remove the existing hydraulic coupler, but you'll want to come up with a method to prevent the coupler from articulating. Many hydraulic couplers have a hole on either side that allows you to install a cross-bolt to prevent the movement, or you could tack weld the lockout so it stays on all the time and prevents movement. If this isn't an option, you could certainly replace the coupler using a 2 inch coupler for a 3 inch channel frame member like Demco eZ Latch, part...
view full answer... - Can Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator Work With EOH ActuatorSince there isn't an easy way to lock out the Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator 8605001, you would not be able to use it with the Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Drum Brakes # K71-650 Both a hydraulic coupler and EOH system are unable to both be used together, so the braking function would go to the Dexter actuator. Since the hydraulic actuator is bolted on, it will be a simple replacement with a standard coupler, the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler...
