DeadBolt Surge Brake Coupler Lock RC5, 1/4 Inch Diameter, 3-3/8 Inch Span

The DeadBolt RC5 is a gear-type deadbolt lock designed to secure a trailer's hydraulic surge brake actuator, preventing the coupler from being disconnected or the trailer from being towed away without authorization. Constructed of fine machined steel for durability, the lock body offers high salt resistance to withstand marine and coastal towing environments where trailers are frequently exposed to saltwater and humidity. The locking pin and interior pin receiver are made of stainless steel, adding corrosion resistance at the points of contact that see the most wear. The RC5 uses a key lock mechanism with a gear-type locking action, and it is sized for a 1/4 inch diameter pin with a 3-3/8 inch span, matching common surge brake actuator coupler dimensions. It ships as a single unit and is intended specifically for securing trailer brake actuators rather than general hitch or coupler locking. The finish is polished, and the lock is available with gold or silver coloring on the housing. At 1.2 pounds, it is compact enough to store in a tow vehicle or trailer tongue box while still providing a solid mechanical deterrent against tampering or theft.
