1 out of 5 stars Not very good security, do not buy.   July 7, 2010

The "key" if you want to call it that is a total joke. They almost all have the same keys and at that its a very easy lock to pick. Also the pin (I believe its technical name is a "locking dog") that holds the shackle from sliding out does not protrude much which makes it possible to, without much force, force the lock open. It appears to be heavy strong steel and might be somewhat hard to cut but very easy to pick or force open. I would try another lock.

I purchased this for a Buyers coupler. Although it does fit, loosely, I feel I wouldn't have a problem forcing it off and it wouldn't be a problem to saw through or cut the 3/8" curved steel clamp. That said, I've tried a couple other locks of which did not work at all...so this is, I guess, better than nothing and should at least slow down theft of a trailer. If I find a lock that I know beforehand will work to my liking, this one will go into the junk pile.

This lock is so fast to put to use. So nice that you don't have to worry about the ball size. You have a trailer parked outside this is the lock you need...


5 out of 5 stars Good Deterant   May 1, 2010

We've used these at work for about 5 years now. Finally got around to buying one for my personal trailer in Jan. They hold up great over the years. Ultimately, if someone wants it off bad enough, it could be hacked off. But that's the same with any lock you buy. Over the years, nobody's bothered my trailer. Still, I figure the deterrent is good to have.

In regards to a previous review, I don't believe the keys are interchangeable. We have four at work and now I have one. All use separate keys. The boss is about to buy another one though. I'll let you know if that key matches any of the others we've got. ...very doubtful
