Master Lock Trigger Lock for 1-7/8" and 2" Couplers

Today we're going to take a look at the MasterLock, Trailer style Coupler Lock, part number 605DAT. As you can see, it's a really nice, small, compact design which will make it extremely difficult to cut off or tamper with. The body of the lock is surrounded by brass with a case hardened interior, along with a case hardened pin. The pin itself is 1/4 inch in diameter, and the width from the inside of the pin hole is 3/4 of an inch. Now, our lock will come with the lock and body itself, along with 2 keys. Key will unlock the pin. As you can see, when you pull it back, I'm going to go ahead and take the key out of the way, then we've got the hardened pin that will go into the hardened body that fits right down over the pre-drilled hole in the trailer coupler, not allowing it to be unlocked. It will help to prevent trailer theft. To take it off we simply take on of our 2 keys, line it up with the tumbler, unlocks the pin, and we can remove it.
We're ready to head on down the road. That will do it for the look at our MasterLock Trailer Coupler Lock, part number 605DAT, on our trailer. .

Looks and feels like a good quality lock with a positive latch in the locked position. Replaces another, cheaper coupler lock, feel better about having this one on the trailer.
I purchased the Master trigger lock as a secondary backup to a trailer coupler lock. I will be using both to protect my pontoon boat and trailer. I purchased the master lock because of the master lock name.
What can I say, it's a Master lock. It fits snugly on the latch of my trailer coupler, allowing me to secure it in the open or closed position as needed. After a year in the Florida sun and rain, it still looks and operates the same as when I purchased it.
Lock seemed cool but I never used it because it didn't fit my trailer.
So far, so good! I got what I payed for!
Fine,works well
The lock, in terms of a device, appears to be well designed and produced. The problem, from the perspective of a purchaser, is the amount of conflicting and somewhat irrelevant technical information provided by Master Lock about the product. Documentation focuses on the application, specifically the corresponding trailer hitch ball size (1 7/8" and 2" couplers). Unfortunately, this same documentation then outlines physical dimensions of the lock itself stating a 1" wide opening in the lock and 7/8" depth from the center of the pin to the lowest extent of the lock opening - designed to extend over the coupler trigger mechanism. I researched additional technical documents for part number 605DAT locks, including that of the manufacturer, and found references to applicable couplers as large as 2 5/16" - again referring to the same physical dimensions of the lock opening (width 1" depth 7/8"). After discussions with etrailer customer support (Thanks Lisa D.) who then talked directly with Master Lock (who seemed oddly unable to validate the physical dimensions of the lock), and given the lock is only $10, I decided to buy the lock from etrailer . The lock arrived, and unfortunately, the lock's opening is not 1", it is 3/4". The point here is that Master Lock should review their technical documentation and provide accurate dimensions of the lock opening which will allow potential customers to make corresponding measurements of their coupler trigger mechanisms to inform their purchase decisions independent of coupler ball size. As a final note, it appears that Master Lock does not manufacture a trigger lock device with a 1" wide opening to fit 1" wide coupler triggers. I am considering modifying the lock which I purchased in an attempt to achieve a 1" wide opening by machining the widest section of the lock body. It appears that there might be enough pin depth to accomplish this. Yes, this will compromise the strength of the lock, but this device is only going to deter "honest" thieves in any case:),
The lock is advertised as fitting a 1 5/8 and 2” coupler. That’s why I ordered one. The package is clearly marked as fitting a 3/4” coupler. Does not fit my trailer. Not impressed
Unfortunately there wasn't enough information on this product on the website for me to determine ahead of time that the pin in this lock was too large to fit through the hole in my trailer coupler. I assumed it was standard and it is not. Now it is out of the package and I cannot return it and I cannot use it. Was a waste of money.
This is a great product. I am on my 5th or 6th lock of this exact design. Not because it is of bad quality but because I have had a lot of trailers. When ever I sold a trailer I always gave the new owner the lock. I had one sit for 3 or 4 years on an unused trailer. Put in the key and it unlocked with out a problem A little WD40 and it was as good as new.
It was very stiff and the key didn't work well when it was new. After a year of use and being left in the Florida rain to do it's job, it still works. The key works better now but the lock still has stiffness to it and is difficult to manipulate. There is a spot of brown rust at the key hole which is strange for a lock that is made of brass and has internals that should be brass or impervious to oxidation. Still after a year outside in Florida I am impressed that it works so well.
Looks to be solidly made.Does not look to be easy to break off
Great products at a reasonable price
Excellent coupler lock!!! Pin pops out easily and re-locks with ease. made of solid brass and a steel pin. A good deterrent.
Excellent lock. The hasp on the receiver covers 95% of the bolt so there is nothing to cut. Feels well made and heavy for its size. Good theft deterrent.
Unfortunately this didn’t fit my trailer coupler. Which I didn’t notice until after I had ordered it, my fault. I gave it to my father in law and he loves it.
I have been buying trailering parts from E trailer for a few years and have never been disappointed, great name brand products at a great price, shipping is fast, and order is always complete... 2" trailer ball with a 1 1/4" shank for a class 5 hitch is impossible to find at local retailers... Thanks to E Trailer, no clunky receiver adaptors, just the right ball mount for the receiver, and the right ball for the ball mount.. Thank you very much...
Great product and great service.
Great service
Placed order on line early evening, Patrick called me half an hour later to let me know that the tires were out of stock. He told me the tire would be available in a few weeks, or he pointed out an alternative tire. Since I wasn't in a rush I told him I'd wait till they were in. Received them a little sooner then expected, well packed in a box. Most companies would have just placed the order on back-order, some not telling you. Tires look good on well galvanized rims. Would definitely do business with etrailer again. Thank, John
Simple, effective and affordable boat trailer lock that I use at boat landings and on my boat trailer when it’s stored in my driveway. I like the fact that the main body of the lock is brass so it doesn't rust and the chromed shackle is protected by the trailer latch so it's not vulnerable to bolt cutters.
This lock is still performing flawlessly. Great product !! etrailer is a great vendor to by accessories from. Great products and customer service !!
This product didn't actually work for me because it did not fit the coupler on my trailer. The build quality is excellent but since I can't use it I can't comment on the durability of the lock. If you choose to go with this lock, take some time to measure the coupler on your trailer and look at the inside dimensions of this lock (they are shown in a photo in the description - 1") to ensure that you can use this before you buy. I can use this on a utility trailer so I'll keep it. Otherwise, typical Master Lock quality.
Simple and easy to use. I sprayed a little lube into the mechanism to keep it moving and resist moisture. Design works well to ensure the lock sits well on the coupler. Much better than a simple pad lock.
