Looking for a coupler Lock

[KaGee]

That will fit my Atwood Surge coupler. All the one's I've found are not long enough. Any ideas fellers?

Tried a long loop padlock?

Re: Looking for a coupler Lock

only problem i see with that JB is the fact that it might be easy to cut with bolt cutters.......<br /><br /><br />KaGee have you looked at the locks that fit into the coupler like hitch would?<br />

Thanks P... never saw that lock before, but it won't help me when I'm coupled up.<br /><br />JB, I'll explore the possibility, but like P said, too much exposure there for a bolt cutter. I was going to take a couple if pictures, but it's pouring rain today. Maybe later.

I bought some high secuity master locks for stuff i had at a storage place.<br /><br />You cant get a bolt cutter around the lock BUT you can allways show up with a battery powered ZIP wheel if you really want it<br /><br />tommays

<br /><br />Kagee they sell these in sizes from this one which is 1/2" to 3-3/8" long deadbolts (for couplers with surge brakes). I believe there is also an adjustable style. My guess is you could measure the size you would need and buy accordingly. Looks like 7/8", 2", and 2-1/2" spans as well. Might be worth looking into.<br /><br /><br />I am lucky enough that a small loop padlock will fit snugly enough to make bolt cutters relatively useless....but i will prolly switch to this.<br />

Master Lock Keyed Alike Set You can see all different kinds of lock styles at, etrailer dot com<br /><br />Be sure if your using a reciever type hitch that the coupler pin is a locking type also.

Look at the one pictured here: http://www.snowbear.com/snowbear_utlility/index.html and it gives us ideas on how to fashion one from a good piece of steel pipe.

Re: Looking for a coupler Lock

Ok, thanks guys for all the ideas... I finally got a couple of pictures so you can see what 'm up against.<br /><br />

<br /><br />

<br /><br />Pony, the first one is what I'd like to get, but the coupler is about 3 5/16 wide.

Re: Looking for a coupler Lock

That looks promising RP.<br />I'll have to go measure one more time.
