Trailer Locks: Answers to Your Questions Before Buying

A coupling lock is essential for keeping your trailer safe. It secures the hitch, so no one can attach it to another vehicle and tow it away. If you frequently park in open or public spaces, this lock is a simple way to protect your investment.

For example, the Sunrise Coupling Lock Hardened Hitch Lock is great for day-to-day use, with its sturdy construction and ease of use. You can lock it on and have peace of mind that your trailer’s secure.

  • What are the differences between the coupling locks?

    Some coupling locks are designed to be only used while the trailer is not in use, while some can be used while the trailer is being towed.

     

    Coupling Laser Lock: Basic but reliable. Used to lock the trailer coupling clip in place.

     

    Alarm Pad Lock Aluminium: Has an alarm to scare off potential thieves. Makes noise when moved.

     

    Sunrise Coupling Lock with Pad lock CLZ: Heavy-duty steel. The lock can be used while towing the trailer or when not moving.

     

    Sunrise Wheel Camlp WCLY:  Built tough for off-road trailers design to work with coupling locks to clamp the wheel so there are two points of protection.

     

    So, if you need something straightforward, the Coupling Laser Lock might do the trick. But if you’re after something more rugged, the Sunrise wheel clamp part number WCLY and coupling lock part number CLZ together would be the safety combination

  • What should I keep in mind when choosing a trailer lock?

    When shopping for a trailer lock, consider these key points:

     

    Type of Trailer: Off-road trailers often need stronger locks designed for the rough conditions.

     

    Security Needs: If your trailer is parked in a high-risk area, go for something with a bit more strength and easy to use if you are using the trailer often.

     

    Ease of Use: Some locks are simpler to install, like the Sunrise Wheel clamp or lazer lock, so if you’re using your trailer often, convenience matters.

     

    Securing your trailer is essential for peace of mind. Selecting the right lock depends on your trailer type security needs, and ease of use. For comprehensive protection, consider using both a coupling lock and a wheel clamp.
