Bought 2 of these for my 2 trailers. One trailer has a 2" span, and the other a 3/4" span. I towed with this in place on my flatbed (the 3/4" span) hauling a Euro station wagon the other day. When I got back, I noticed the thing was bent. At least it didn't break, so it's got some flex to it. Guess I need to leave some wiggle room, and not slide the lock as tightly as possible. Not a huge deal - it's still useable, just slightly curved now. More noticeable in person than in the pic:
Comments
Still working, although being out in the elements made the lock very difficult to work. Ive been loading it up with either white lithium grease or silicone spray to keep things moving. Thats been working out. This is definitely not going to stop a thief, but itll slow them down, especially if you have other anti-theft devices on the trailer. Since I havent been sliding the lock on as tightly as I did the first time I used it, no more issues with bending the pin. That rubber seal doesnt do much, so keep it greased and it should last, especially if it sees road salt - in that case youll want to lube it often.

Seems to be well-made, and fits a variety of couplers as advertised. I like it so well I bought two more.
Comments
All three still working well. No rust or corrosion from being outside.
Rob - 03/27/2023by: William 01/29/2022
Great product. I have had this lock for some time and lost the pin. It was keyed the same same as all my locks from Etailer and the awsum folks at Etailer were able make sure this replacement had matching keys as well. One key for 4 different locks on my trailers , yes makes life easier.
Comments
This is a great lock. I have had a couple of them for over a year now and they are still functioning and looking perfect. I use a little lock lube once a month and they work as well as day one. And being able to key different locks to the same key is extremely handy.
William B - 01/30/2023by: Doug12/24/2022
Received a reordered lock as the first one was supposed to be keyed-alike. Second one was net keyed alike either. Both times I chatted with etrailer customer service and both times was told no problem. Not sure how to get a lock that is actually keyed-alike to the locks I previously purchased.
Comments
I will have our customer service team reach back out to you about this. We defintely want to get you squared away. Thanks for letting us know!

etrailer provides a great product at a fair price. They also have a great selection of products and those products are all high quality products!
by: Rand08/14/2021
Looks a good quality trailer coupler pin lock. I also purchased hitch balls with these locks and cut the shank off to build my own trailer coupler lock for cheaper than a purpose built coupler lock. The modified hitch balls plus this coupler pin lock makes my trailers secure in my yard as well as anywhere we go. Trailers can't be easily towed away if there is already a hitch ball locked in the coupler. And by buying enough keyed-alike coupler pin locks, one key fits all trailers unlike previous setups I tried where each coupler lock had its own key.
by: Greg07/25/2022
Product was delivered on time. It was the product I ordered and it functioned properly. The problem I have with this product is that it was to replace an identical lock. I opened the package and installed the lock onto the trailer coupler. To my surprise, my old key unlocked the new coupler latch lock. It is a bit concerning that there are so few keys combinations that I just happened to get a lock that I already had a key to. If I can have a key by luck, the pro thief likely has it as well so he or she can easily steal my trailer. I ask, what is the point in using a lock that has only a handful of different keys? No Bueno!!!!!!!!!!
Comments
You mentioned that the old key that you had was able to be used on the new lock. I reached to our product design team and have found the locks do have approximately 50 key combinations. It was a coincidence that you happened to receive a lock that worked with the old key. We do have locks available that can be keyed to your vehicle, depending on what you have.

Excellent replacement for my previous Latch Lock. The ability to have keyed alike is wonderful.
by: Jeff01/04/2023
Still working great after several months. no rust, key inserts and this has been used for a winter as well so it is has seen a lot. Even the rubber cover is still intact
by: Monte04/23/2022
this lock works as it should by having the adjustments needed
Comments
It is working good after a year and is keyed like my other locks so is nice not to have extra n keys.

works great, good price and service.
by: Dan 04/30/2023
product works as promised but was the second one sent. first one was not in same packaging as second one which the key didn’t work but company was quick to rectify and send a new one thank you for being professional
by: Roger 12/23/2022
Quick & easy ordering. Quick order processing and shipping as well, especially considering it was the week before Christmas. The products ordered were exactly as depicted and very good quality.
by: Pedro 10/04/2022
One year in these are holding up great. I leave them outside on each of my trailers and both still operate smoothly.
by: Attila05/26/2023
looks flimsy, easily broken off with a hammer.
by: Vernon10/01/2022
This product is flimsy and cheaply made and would not slow a thief down very much. I wish you sold something much more substantial.
Comments
There are other, more secure options available, but unfortunately locks are only for keeping honest folks honest. A determined thief can defeat any lock, but the idea is to provide some deterrence that will encourage the thief to move on to an easier target.
-- Mike L - 10/10/2022by: Brad02/14/2022
I haven't had a chance to use the pin yet, but it looks like it's very well built. The adjustment is easy for the different width hitches, very happy so far! What I want to comment on the most is the great customer service that etrailer has provided. All my transactions have so good, even when I ordered the wrong part there was no issues canceling my order and helping order the correct one! Very pleased with etrailer on all my purchases!
by: Tyler 12/03/2021
Great being able to have se key for multiple coupler locks and locking hitch pins
by: Lee02/12/2022
Recognize that most locks only deter the opportunity thief, but feel better knowing the clip attachment that came with our new utility trailer has been replaced by this locking version. Looks solid; fits well & we hope to have years of use instead of our trailer being ripped off in a home improvement store's parking lot as recently happened in our area.
by: Troy 08/20/2022
Very nice look keyed like all my other etrailer looks
by: Roger 01/30/2021
I was looking for a lock that would fit a specific need and this lock worked. Thank you.
Comments
It is working just fine. I use it on a climbing tree stand to lock it on the tree to prevent theft.
roger k - 02/02/2022by: Ed05/18/2021
A good lock design, not enough adjustments for width. In my application, Sleeve Lock A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5196H-B, it fit too loose and would have left the weak shaft exposed and easily cut by a thief. I chamfered the holes on both sides of the sleeve lock coupler to allow it to fully close.
by: Ken02/04/2022
Very fast and efficient service. Locks seem solid and good quality, super excited to have them all keyed alike. Happy with purchase so far.
by: John 04/29/2021
Would prefer a tighter fit on the smallest setting but seems secure. Love the one key feature.
Comments
Still happy. As mentioned would prefer one tighter setting but still happy.
John L - 04/30/2022by: William 09/02/2022
Have not used it yet. Appears well designed and machining it top quality. Hope it resists a grinder better than it’s predecessor. Only took less than 1 minute to cut off.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Coupler Locks
- Availability of Coupler Lock with Span Longer than 7/8 of an InchI'd recommend our etrailer.com Coupler lock, part # e98883. When locked, the 1/4 inch diameter pin has an inside span that's adjustable to 1/2, 1, 1-1/2, 2 or 2-1/2 inches, which sounds like it would be prefect for your needs.
view full answer... - Replacement Bracket and Lock for the Fulton Trailer KeeperI have a lock that will work for you but the original lock to fit your Fulton Trailer Keeper isn't available anymore. The lug bolt bracket is no longer available. I tested our etrailer.com Adjustable Coupler Lock # e98883 on the Trailer Keeper and it's a little smaller than the original pin however it is definitely a good fit.
view full answer... - Can etrailer.com Adjustable Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # e98883 Be Keyed AlikeYes, the etrailer.com Adjustable Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # e98883 that you referenced can be keyed alike.

view full answer... - Best Trailer Coupler Latch Lock With 9/32 Diameter PinThere is not a better trailer coupler latch lock with a 9/32" diameter pin than the etrailer Adjustable Trailer Coupler Latch Lock - 1/2" to 2-1/2" Span - 1/4" Diameter # e98883. This is 1-4" in diameter, which is only slightly smaller than your 9/32" hole (just 1/32" in fact). The # e98883 is made of steel but also has chrome plating on the housing, and its actual lock mechanism is pick proof. At a maximum span of 2-1/2" it does have the length you need as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Coupler Lock For When Trailer is AttachedThere is not a trailer coupler lock with a cover for when the coupler is attached to your trailer; the only option for a lock in that instance is indeed a pin lock.

The rack can be a little cumbersome to break down as there are a couple steps needed and those steps are made more difficult with bikes loaded because you have to use the handle and knob on the crossbar to get the rack to start collapsing again to remove it from the draw bar. With your bikes loaded that will be difficult, but not impossible. Especially if they remove the bikes...

- Trailer Coupler Recommendation for a Trailer with 2 Inch Wide TongueI recommend the etrailer Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler, part # CT-3001-Z, for your trailer with the 2 inch channel. This zinc-plated steel coupler can be either bolted or welded on. This coupler fits 2 inch trailer balls, and features a quick-release lever-style latch that makes hookup and disconnect easy. I recommend using a pin lock like # e98883 to secure your trailer.

What you can do in order to use the same key for multiple trailer hitch locks and coupler locks is use the etrailer locks, and select the "Keyed Alike" option from the drop-down on their product pages.
