Locks still working great after a year



by:

I had called customer service to explain what kind of product I was looking for and she referred me to the trailer coupler lock item#e98886. This was a perfect match to fit my needs. I ordered two (keyed alike) to have one as a spare.



by:

This worked exactly as expected. Being a close fit reduces the chance of getting bolt cutters between the ends and the hitch. Key-alike option is great. Still happy.



by:

Couple latch lock works perfectly. I saw that some were complaining about the rubber cap getting in the way while unscrewing or screwing it on to lock. If you just open the cap and let it spin freely, it works just fine. I would recommend this product for wider tongue latches. I will buy another one if this ever wears out!!



by:

Ordered 3ea all keyed the same so I only need 1 key for all locks. Which makes unlocking hitch and trailer cover more convenient.



by:

Great product. We first had a little mixup on the 1st order, but Etrailer took care of the problem in an expeditious manner. These locks are heavy duty and should last a long time. I now have 3 of these locks, and having them keyed alike is a nice feature.



by:

I’ve been using this lock on my bike rack every day for a year now. It’s been over a variety of terrain and all kinds is weather, hot, freezing and wet. No rust. No problems. It works flawlessly.

I ordered 4 locks KEYED THE SAME they are all keyed different

Oh my goodness! I can see that it was our mistake and we will have this taken care of for you as soon as possible.



by:

etrailer provided outstanding customer service to me. I thought the lock I received was defective and etrailer immediately sent a replacement. It turns out the original lock was fine, I just didn't know how to work it (the locking mechanism unscrews from the barrel, rather than just pulling off). I give both the lock and etrailer 5 stars.



by:

I want them keyed alike. I invested in alot of locks in the past. You stopped supporting my key number. So the lock is good but the product support is not
If you still make the lock you should still make the key.



by:

Product works as decribed. Well made. Only thing I dont like is how the lock parts must be threaded together with the key in the lock. I'm concerned the rubber dust cover will be torn off by my keys getting in the way.

fills the need



by:

Use this to keep the upper half of a t-bone bed extender from potential vandals or theft. works as well as its bigger hitch lock brother.



by:

Works great



by:

I ordered a hitch coupler pin and a class V 5/8" hitch mount pin for a 2 1/2" receiver. I received both items and only 2 keys which only worked for the hitch coupler pin. There were no keys for the hitch mount coupler.I called etrailer.com and explained the situation. Noah was the customer service rep. that help me and he is going to send me a new hitch mount pin with keys and a return merchandise shipping label



by:

The product is great and works just as it should. I did have it keyed to match the hitch lock on the truck. Also give credit to etrailer for correcting an issue with the first set not being keyed alike. They were quick to response and sent a new one out immediately and now the issue is fixed. I would highly recommend the product and etrailer.



by:

Ordered four of these coupler locks keyed alike to secure loading ramps to an Aluma trailer. Can't say enough good things about Olivia who handled my order 108378866. She provided service I haven't experienced in years. Only reason for only 4 four stars, is one of the four locks arrived defective. After calling etrailer, they shipped a replacement right away.



by:

By itself, it’s just ok. A step above “better than nothing.” There is a gap between the lock and the trailer. The gap is large enough to slip a cutting blade and easily cut through it. However, when combined with other locking devices, this is a good addition.



by:

Bought multiple receiver locks and hitch locks, all keyed the same. Incredibly convenient to always use the same key no matter what vehicle or trailer you are using.



by:

I had lost the coupler pin lock from my Curt set I purchased from etrailer about a year ago. I made the mistake of leaving it on the tongue. Nick from etrailer helped me find a suitable replacement. Great customer service and good pricing makes this company a wonderful place to shop!



by:

it fits better than the other brands and knock-offs; I will only need to add one washer to take out the slack (slack makes this type of lock vulnerable to bolt cutters)

still working fine after a year



by:

These receiver locks work well, but they don't operate the way you expect they would. The key doesn't really unlock the system, but allows you to screw one part, the shaft, into the receiver with the key...without the key the unit just turns.I am not sure how much stronger this is and it is a bit of a PIA to put on and take off, but it's more secure than not using a lock.In the end, all these security bits and pieces work mostly to shunt would be opportunists away. A pro who wants to take your trailer, will be doing it no matter what you put on there.



by:

I ordered the RC6 lock which has a 7/8" span to fit my 2-5/16" coupler on my trailer. When the lock came in, it was too short. Returned the lock and got item #7691 and it fit just right. Had great customer service with returning and ordering.



by:

You can get these locks in different styles and sizes all keyed the same. BEST THING EVER. Having 1 key for multiple trailers and locks is the only way to go.



by:

none of the keys work properly very poor grade lock out of all the ones i purchased i had to refund the customer ,
Even the key broke off the plastic
Very disappointed in the product ,
The old style that turns off were much better with no issues , These are junk at best

  • What Options Are There For Keyed Alike Trailer Coupler Locks?
    We offer quite a few, and even a few different styles. The Master Lock # ML377KA can be keyed alike by selecting keyed alike right above the add to cart button and ordering however many you're needing. This style goes into the coupler blocking a smaller hitch ball from being able to be inserted often making it a more popular option due to it being more secure. For a pin style like there's the etrailer # e98886, which again can be keyed alike by selecting keyed alike from the menu above...

For the hitch lock, use # e98881 and # e98886 for the coupler latch lock. On the product page for both items, right above the 'add to cart' button there's a drop-down menu where you can choose the option of a keyed uniquely or keyed alike lock. If you choose the keyed alike option on both locks, they will be keyed alike for the same key. I've...

  • Recommended Latch Lock for Atwood Coupler on Travel Trailer
    It sounds like you are looking for a latch style lock for the Atwood coupler on your travel trailer. For your trailer, I recommend taking a look at etrailer.com Coupler Lock # e98886. This is an excellent, receiver style lock that features a pin length of 2 inches and a pin diameter of 1/4 inches. Its heavy duty construction will help to prevent both the coupler from releasing from the ball, and also the trailer from being attached to a different ball. The lock is made right here in the...

  • Comparing Different Types of Coupler Locks

This yellow lock can fit a 2" coupler and is an immediate deterrent as the color quickly grabs attention. The lock has a stem that reaches into the coupler and can't be wiggled free. If you don't have a fat lip coupler but still want a lock that reaches into the coupler, I recommend the EZ Lock Trailer Coupler...

  • Availability of Coupler Lock With a 5/16 inch Pin Diameter
    A pin with a 1/4 inch diameter, like part # e98886, is standard for coupler locks. Unfortunately there are none that are 1/16 of an inch larger in diameter. If instead you meant that you needed one with a span of 5/8 of an inch then you will want to go with the Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # 2847DAT which has a 5/8 inch adjustment setting. If you meant that the pin diameter needed to be 5/8 inches then you are looking for part # e98880.

    I am not sure what application you are using the detent pin for. Typically they are used on something like an umbrella or can be found on some bike or ski racks. We do not offer locking detent pins but we do have locking pins that may work well for you. One lock I recommend is part # e98888. This is a 1/4 double chrome finish and has a protective cap on the locking porting to keep dirt and moisture out. The pin on this lock is 3-3/8 inches long. For a lock that has a 2 inch span and...

    I have a solution for you, but the Bulldog Coupler Lock part # BD580410 that you referenced can not be keyed alike.

Or for 2-1/2 inches, part # e98887.

    The Curt # C18013 Clamp-On bike rack can indeed be used when not towing a trailer. The rack has a 135 lb total capacity. In order to carry the bikes level and to provide maximum ground clearance, I'd highly recommend an adapter bar like part # 64005 be used. The bike rack doesn't have any built-in locking mechanism, but the clamp that locks the rack on to the ball mount can be locked using a coupler lock like part # e98886. The rack includes a cable that can secure the bikes to the rack...

This has the same 1/4 inch pin diameter as the unit you were looking at but a slightly longer 2 inch pin length. The covered key slot and zinc dichromax finish on the pin will help to prevent rust and corrosion. This particular lock can also be ordered keyed alike if you happen to need multiple items.

  • How to Adjust etrailer Weld-On A-Frame 2-5/16-Inch Coupler # CA5400
    The etrailer Weld-On A-Frame 2-5/16-Inch Coupler, part # CA5400, does not have any adjustment screw to enable you to take up the slack in the fit with your hitch ball. This coupler is produced by a stamping process and this type of manufacturing method will have some slight variances from one unit to another. The 1/4-inch play you find is fairly typical. You can test the security of the attachment at the hitch ball by using your trailer jack to lift the nose of the trailer while the coupler...

    As much as I would love to help you find out a way to use the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058 for your application, it has not been tested and approved for use at the rear of a 5th wheel trailer. Since the trailer hitch on a 5th wheel (or even a travel trailer) sits further back from the rear axle than it does on a vehicle, there is a lot more stress which some bike racks cannot handle.

For a 2 inch lock, go with the # e98882 or for a 2-1/2 inch hitch, use # e98881. The etrailer brand coupler locks can also be had keyed alike the same way, such as # e98886 for a latch style coupler lock with a 2 inch span (many other width spans available) or the Fat Lip # e98893 for 1-7/8 or 2...

  • Availability Of Locking Coupler Pin With 5/16" Diameter
    Hello Davis. The 1/4" pins are the standard for most coupler locks, and unfortunately, we do not offer anything with a 5/16" diameter. A 1/4" pin such as part # e98886, can still be used, but there may be a bit more play than you would like. Another good option for theft deterrent is a universal coupler lock like the Trimax Universal Trailer Coupler Lock # TMX47FR. This will work with the 2" ball and will fit a wide variety of coupler styles up to 4-1/2" wide overall.

If you are looking for a locking device that will work while coupled you can just use a standard pin lock like the etrailer Pin Lock part # e98886.
