Question:
How do you lock this to prevent trailer theft? For ball couplers there are a variety of choices but none look like they would work here.

With the design of the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 336TS506 being pretty new and different, there are currently no locks that will secure it. However, this does not mean we do not have a way to keep your trailer from disappearing in the night.
The etrailer.com Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 is adjustable and will fit 6-3/4" to 10-1/2" wide tires. This also has soft-coated arms that won't scratch your rims once installed. Is will be my suggestion as it will secure any trailer with the aforementioned tire widths.
An alternate option will be the Master Lock Brass Padlock # ML4140LH. This can be locked onto one of the outer tabs to prevent anyone from hooking up to it. This will be more of a visual deterrent though, so I do suggest going with the # 288-02020.
