In my neighborhood, we have had many trailers stolen. What we have come to learn is that trailer thieves will ignore a tongue lock and steal your trailer anyway. They do this by welding a hook on the end of a receiver. They simply drop the trailer tongue on the hook behind the tongue and they are gone in less than 20 seconds. I have an inexpensive utility trailer in my driveway and it has yet to be taken. This is done by a four tear method I use for locking my trailer. I have the tongue locked. I also have Trimax wheel locks on each wheel. I have also installed lug locks on each wheel and finally I have a Paweg chain going through one of the rims, through the frame shackle with a heavy duty case hardened padlock. Paweg chains are square link chains that can't be cut with bolt cutters. I watched some videos on KZbin on these chains and a guy tried cutting a Paweg chain with a cutoff disk and he struggled with it for more than 10 minutes before he was able to cut through it. I have the 3/8" chain. I believe all of this has kept my trailer from being stolen. The Paweg chain is sold by the foot and is a bit more expensive than conventional chain but to me is well worth every penny. Remember, thieves want fast and easy. To get to my trailer, they would have to bring a cutting torch to get through all my locks quickly. Here's a link to the Peweg chain. www.uscargocontrol.com/shop/Rigging-Supplies-Hardware/Chain/Pewag-Security-Chain

That's a great hitch lock and I really like the wheel lock idea too. I saw another video where the owner cut the safety chains off so there were only a few links remaining. He then attached a removable heavy duty chain link to each of the long chains so he can re-connect the chains when he is ready to tow the trailer. He takes the long chains with him whenever he needs to leaves the trailer unattended. I thought this was also a great idea.

I use two steel link/sleeves with a steel braided core cable locks, Master Lock Cable Locks - Utility Lock - 8218DPS. One for each set of wheels on my car hauler and make sure the lock is behind the rims. They fit loose so it would be a pain and take a while to cut. Each wheel has two egg head style/oval lock nuts. The round smooth head makes it very difficult to use a lock removal tool. All the tool does is scratch the chrome plating and slips off. Yes, my locks are scratched up as my brother and I tested removing them and failure was a good thing. My chains are removable and keep a lock on each holes where they attach. I also welded plates to enclose most of the tongue of the trailer. So the only area to link chains to is the body of the trailer. Making it very difficult to tow it away as you would need very long chains and the tongue will drag. This has worked fined so far.

The rear of the coupling is out of contention since no padlock shackle I've ever seen is big enough to span that distance. That leaves the front and sides. Drill as close to the bottom close enough to where the flange/rim is located as needed for the shackle width. Usually around an inch. Hole size is according to the shackle diameter. I hope my description is clear enough. Just think in terms of at least partially blocking the ball entry enough to keep it outside the coupling. Including the safety chains with the lock may help prevent using them to steal the trailer with. Come to think of it, if the chains aren't welded on but bolted instead then they could be removed by you and won't even be there for that pull method at all. Any locking system has vulnerabilities.

I knew a motorcyclist who lost the key to his U-bolt motorcycle lock (Kryptonite I think) and he just went into a local hardware store and bough a hand drill and a drill bit, then came back to his motorcycle, parked on a main road, and sat down and manually drilled out the brass key cylinder! This took a surprisingly little time, even for a hand powered drill, and nobody questioned him as to why he was drilling out a lock on a parked motorcycle. The brass cylinder that resists weather and road debris corrosion is also the weakest point of the entire lock! I would consider adding an alarm and/or a hidden tracking device, both of which are relatively inexpensive and with the hidden tracker, can lead to the recovery of a stolen item.

Most people don't drive around with angle grinders with carbide tips, bolt cutters, drills and everything they might need to defeat any lock they run into. As for grinders defeating locks in under a minute, sorry but I disagree. I use angle grinders a lot and even high powered ones take time to grind off hardened steel and you will burn through a couple of discs to do it. They also make a shit ton of noise which thieves do not like to do because it massively increases their chance of getting caught. However, at the end of the day, any lock is just a deterrent.

2 chains with quick links attached to your chains and they can still quickly haul it away if you're only using a hitch lock so the hitch locks aren't all that effective for a prepared thief. If it's parked on your property you could just remove the wheels and put it up on blocks. If you're camping carry a gun. A hidden GPS tracker might also be an option. That way you could either call the cops or take care of things yourself with a little payback perhaps.

No solution is perfect as I state in the video. However, this is by far the best hitch lock I have seen. As for chains, it assumes that thieves carry chains and plan ahead for something like this.

GPS trackers are a good option and added layer of security though.

Therefore, if they happen upon a trailer with a hitch lock, they will look and see how hard/easy it is to bypass. If too hard and takes too much time and increases their risk of getting caught, they will move on to an easier target. That is my goal with this hitch lock and I think does a great job at it.

06:20 The problem with that type of wheel lock is they can simply remove the lug nuts, discard the tire and lock, and bolt on the spare or one they brought along. You need the wheel boot that covers the lug nuts as well as preventing the tire from rolling. The main problem I see with the chain is that it is bolted on. It would be quicker, and quieter, to unbolt that chain and bolt on another to steal it. Many thieves will case the trailer before hand to see what they need to bring to steal it.

Completely disagree. Normal locks can be snipped off with a bolt cutter in seconds. Sure, with enough time any lock can be defeated. However, the longer it takes and the more noise you make in defeating a lock, the greater the risk of being caught. Thieves look for quick, easy targets to reduce their risk. The point of this lock is to make it harder for them, increase their risk so they move on to something easier. This lock does that exceptionally well.

I just twist my chains around the jack with a massive padlock then took an old ball with the threads ground off and shove it in the hitch and lock it all up with another beefy non-cheap lock. The old ball prevents them from coming in with a smaller ball that will slide over the locked hitch anyway. Ground off threads prevents them from coming in with a ball nut to haul it off. Cheap and effective, pretty much anyone seeing that is going to wander off and find an easier one. But just in case they don't they're going to have ANOTHER massive lock to cut thru once they are on the road cause there's an old metal pot attached to the middle of the axle under it with a beast of a chain all banging away loudly on the pavement. Either have to drop it and run or risk spending 5 or 10 or 15 minutes on the side of the road under it trying to get that off of a freshly stolen trailer they just very noisily took off with 3 houses down.

Interesting. Have not seen that video. I would agree, if there is a weak point on this lock, it would be the brass cylinder. It is hard to get to since it is on the bottom. I supposed you could drill through the puck multiple times to clear it out. I know they have a stainless steel puck now as well which would be much harder to drill through but still the cylinder would be a weak point. Overall, I think it is still better than nothing or better than the really cheap locks.

A better choice would be the Mul-T-Lock TR100 or something equivalvent. Note, the Lockpicking Lawyer rarely recommends a lock and this is one he advises using, with another puck lock instead.

However, as repeated studies have shown, the overwhelming amount of thefts are crimes of opportunity, which means unplanned, impulse at the spur of the moment. They typically work with what they have on hand. Do thieves run around with extra chain in case they run into one with chains locked up? I doubt it because most locks nor people secure their chains. So, locking up the chains makes it that much harder for them. Sure, they probably have some hammers and crow bars but extra chain just in case? Not likely. Locks are deterrents, the more deterrents you have in place, the harder it is for them and the more likely they will move on to an easier target.
