This plate is the component inside the coupler body that engages the trailer ball and secures the coupler in the locked position, keeping the trailer connected to the tow vehicle during transport. As a genuine Dexter part, it is manufactured to match the fit and function of the original plate it replaces, making it a straightforward swap when a coupler's lock plate is worn, bent, or no longer securing properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lock plate is sized specifically for 2 ball couplers, so it should be matched to a coupler built for that ball size rather than used on a 2-5\/16 inch or 1-7\/8 inch coupler. Replacing a worn lock plate restores proper clamping engagement on the trailer ball, which is important for keeping the coupler latched securely while towing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 074-339-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Ball Coupler Lock Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Brake Actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Size Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inch coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Dexter 074-339-00 lock plate used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the locking plate inside a Dexter 2 ball trailer coupler that engages the trailer ball and holds the coupler in the latched position, keeping the trailer secured to the tow vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this lock plate fit a 2-5\/16 inch coupler?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, part number 074-339-00 is sized for 2 ball couplers only and is not intended for 2-5\/16 inch or 1-7\/8 inch coupler sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 074-339-00 plate a genuine Dexter part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this lock plate is a genuine Dexter component, part number 074-339-00, made to match the original equipment fit inside Dexter 2 ball couplers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Dexter 074-339-00 lock plate weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This lock plate weighs 0.01 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I replace my coupler lock plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e A coupler lock plate like the Dexter 074-339-00 should be replaced when it is worn, bent, or no longer engaging the trailer ball tightly enough to keep the coupler securely latched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of trailer part is the 074-339-00?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 074-339-00 is listed under trailer brake actuator hardware, as it is a component of the trailer coupler assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 074-339-00 lock plate come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e The listing for part number 074-339-00 covers the lock plate itself; no additional hardware is specified as included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install the Dexter 074-339-00 lock plate myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 074-339-00 lock plate is a direct-fit replacement component designed to swap into place inside a compatible Dexter 2 ball coupler.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991258607835,"sku":"DEX-074-339-00","price":3.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/dic-1809000_lg__20399.1558140628.500.750.jpg?v=1785329080","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/2-in-ball-coupler-lock-plate-mpn-074-339-00-trailer-coupler-replacement-part","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
