Customer Service will fix this for you.

I was a little disappointed. There is one place in the description that mentioned “screw and lock”. I was looking for push type lock similar to those used for locking my couplers/ball into receivers. My mistake, but disappointed. At least they are keyed alike so that’s a plus. I have not used them yet, so any comments here are purely first impression.



by:

I like the way this lock fits on the coupler. I bought two, one for each of my trailers. Lauren helped me get them keyed the same and it was delivered within a couple of days.



by:

Just what I need to keep my trailer and spare tire in place, thanks.



by:

Good lock but it does not work on my coupler. They mention the span but no mention of making sure the cylinders will clear the coupler. Sure enough it does not clear my coupler and will not work. Due to ETrailer's horrible shipping policy, I'm stuck with a lock I can not use.



by:

Great lock for my trailer coupler. Easy to use. Dust cover is great.



by:

Great product to secure your steps. Not only from theft but mainly to ensure the steps don't cause a fall because of a weak and insufficient pin.



by:

For over a year I've used this keyed alike trailer latch lock with three larger hitch locks in extended desert and winter weather both on and off road. It is great that all are keyed alike so I only have one key for four locks! This lock, as the other hitch locks, still locks/unlocks smoothly. I do wish eTrailer would offer heavy duty exterior weatherproof padlocks that could be keyed alike with these hitch locks. That way one key would work for all the hitches, storage shed, propane tank compartment, battery compartment, boat motor chain, boat storage compartment, bicycle lock, gate lock, tool box lock...that's a bunch of locks I'd buy again if I could get quality locks all keyed alike. Money burning a hole in my pocket.



by:

It is great to have one key for all of my locking pins.



by:

Pretty nice having all trailer tongue locks and hitch pin locks keyed to 1 key for all my trailers and trucks



by:

Have used it twice now on two different trailers and it has been great. The construction seems heavy duty and will definitely last however it's heavier than expected. The adjustability factor is great since my new 3/4 ton truck sits higher than my previous 1/2 ton and my trailers are different heights as well. I switched out two of the three pins for locking pins that I also purchased through etrailer to ensure no one walks off with it. Overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase.



by:

Great product! I selected "keyed Alike" on many locks (~12) of this brand and they all came keyed the same. Makes it easy that we don't have to carry many keys for all our different trailers and trucks. One lock came that did not work with the others and a quick email to Etrailer and they shipped me out a replacement lock quickly for the defective one. I would order them again, Thanks



by:

Great quality. Fit and finish excellen t.



by:

This is a great product to have when you have two trailers and your Hitch receiver keyed alike. Etrailer made it happen with one easy call, thanks again!



by:

WhEn I called in I was reminded that I could have this keyed alike with a hitch pin lock I had bought previously. Awesome customer service by Dana!!!



by:

Good lock, good quality, would recommend. Tried to get keyed alike with other locks in same order without success.



by:

Item arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged. The trailer coupler lock works exactly as described and is highly recommended.



by:

Great product fantastic price super fast delivery.



by:

Ordered two of these and had the locks keyed the same. They arrived promptly and all the keys work as they are supposed to. Fits great on my ATV and boat trailer hitch latch.



by:

A nice addition of security and with etrailer key alike feature easy to use.



by:

Great product, awesome price. Great recommendation from the staff at Etrailer!! Awesome folks to work with, very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this product and these people!



by:

easy to remove and put back on. works g reat!

I bought two of these have been using them for a year now and they still perform like new. The cap over the lock works perfectly, still tight and keys sand, mud, dirt out of the lock completely. I have put some lithium grease on the lock once since I purchased it and its still smooth and easy to work. Excellent purchase.

@Bill We're happy to hear it's working well for you!


by:

I've had this lock on my truck for a year now and it is still as good as new. I have only removed it once to swap a ball about a month ago and still the lock cylinder worked as smooth as it did when I first installed it.



by:

Although I do not use these locks for a trailer hitch, they work perfectly for my application

  • Trailer Coupler Latch Lock with 1 Inch Pin Span
    Master Lock has an adjustable latch lock, # 2847DAT that has presets for either a 1 inch span or a 2 inch span. We also have some that are 7/8 inch spans which is 1/8 of an inch more than a 3/4. We have # e98890, # 2878DAT, and # e98889. I have linked some video reviews of these locks for you.

  • Alternative for Pin Lock for TorkLift GlowStep Scissor Steps
    The etrailer Trailer Coupler Latch Lock part # e98889 is very similar to the Pin Lock for TorkLift GlowStep Scissor Steps part # TLA7509 so you should be able to swap the two without issue. The etrailer lock is threaded unlike the TorkLift so there will be no accidental unlocking.

  • Do the etrailer.com Trailer Coupler Locks Have To All Be Purchased At the Same Time for Keyed Alike
    Correct, the etrailer.com Trailer Coupler Locks like part # e98895 or part # e98889 must all be purchased at the same time in order to take advantage of the keyed alike option. I wish we could match the lock to a set of keys you already have but this is simply not possible from our side of things. Therefore, it would be best to order a few extras if you think you will have multiple trailers. The coupler and pin locks will also both come with the same lock code if ordered together and the...

  • What Is Needed to Install Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - Trigger Latch - Zinc - 1-7/8" Ball
    The Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # CT-2003-Z looks to be an excellent replacement for your trailer coupler based on the info and photo you have provided. It doesn't come with hardware and I don't recommend reusing the existing so a trip to your local hardware store would finish up your install. I recommend 1/2"-13 x 4" Grade 5. The other thing I would add but is not required is a lock for security, the etrailer Trailer Coupler Latch Lock part # e98889.

  • Replacement Keys for etrailer.com Locks
    Yes, the keys from our etrailer.com Coupler Lock, # e98889, and other etrailer.com locks can be replaced if they are lost, but I strongly recommend recording the key number that is stamped on the key. The key number is used for replacement keys, so I recommend writing the key number down and keeping it somewhere safe just in case you lose the keys. This key number should also be stamped on the lock core. The key number will be 3 digits and it usually starts with a zero. If you do not...

  • Channel Mount Trailer Coupler for 3 Inch Wide Channel
    There is pretty much a standard for channel mount couplers such as # DM12113-95. The channel width is usually 3 inches and the couplers are usually around 2-7/8 inches wide to fit in the 3 inch wide channel. Once torqued down there is no side to side movement because the coupler essentially is clamped in. Holes are usually spaced 2 inches apart on center which is the vertical hole spacing in a channel this coupler would work with. But it never hurts to measure just to be sure. For mounting...

  • Couple Lock Recommendation that Can be Keyed Alike
    I have a solution for you, but the Bulldog Coupler Lock part # BD580410 that you referenced can not be keyed alike. For a similar lock that can be keyed alike you would want our etrailer.com lock part # e98886. The usable span of this lock is 2 inches. For one with a 7/8 inch span you would want the # e98889. Or for 2-1/2 inches, part # e98887.

  • Recommended Solution to Lock Trailer with Weight Distribution System Attached
    It sounds like you're looking for a solution to lock your trailer coupler while the weight distribution hitch is still connected to the trailer, and I think you might be referring to a Fastway E2 weight distribution hitch. We do not have an e-trailer branded weight distribution system available. With all of that said, we do have some solutions that can help provide an added layer of security to your trailer, but you won't want to use the Tow Ready # TS84FR since you won't have the ability...

  • Looking For Surge Brake Coupler Lock With Keyed Alike Option
    Hello Joseph, thanks for reaching out. I do have a potential option for you, but sadly we do not offer a keyed alike option for the etrailer Adjustable Trailer Coupler Latch Lock # e98883, so there would be no way for us to do 20 of them with the same key. We do have a few other similar locks with a keyed alike option. Take a look at the following: - etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock - 3-3/8" Span - 1/4" Diameter - Chrome # e98888 - etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock - 2-1/2" Span - 1/4"...

And the hole diameter is just over 5/16 of an inch at 0.32 inches. If you end up needing a lock our etrailer.com lock # e98889 is a good choice. It has a 7/8 inch span and a 1/4 inch diameter pin.

    The Stainless Steel Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98890 is made of stainless steel, not chrome plated which is why it is more expensive than the Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98889 which is chrome plated steel. The stainless steel option is better as you don't run the risk of the chrome plating chipping and exposing unprotected steel.

All you will need to do is select the keyed alike option from the drop down menu, and change the quantity to 5 before adding them to your cart.
