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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e DeadBolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e RC5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Locks and Accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLock Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Key Lock (gear type)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Securing trailer brake actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anti-Corrosion, High Salt Resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold, Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 6.95 x 1.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the DeadBolt RC5 lock used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DeadBolt RC5 is used to secure a trailer's hydraulic surge brake actuator, preventing the coupler from being released or the trailer from being towed away without the key.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size pin and span does the RC5 lock fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RC5 is sized for a 1\/4 inch diameter pin with a 3-3\/8 inch span, matching common surge brake actuator coupler dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the DeadBolt RC5 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of fine machined steel with a stainless steel locking pin and interior pin receiver for added corrosion resistance at the wear points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the RC5 lock resistant to salt water or corrosion?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the DeadBolt RC5 has a high salt resistance rating along with an anti-corrosion feature, making it suitable for use in marine and coastal towing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the DeadBolt RC5 lock mechanism work?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a gear-type deadbolt lock operated with a key, engaging a locking pin into the actuator to block movement of the coupler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish and color options does the RC5 come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DeadBolt RC5 has a polished finish and is available with gold or silver coloring on the lock housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the DeadBolt RC5 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RC5 weighs 1.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pieces come in the package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DeadBolt RC5 ships as a single unit, one lock per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the overall dimensions of the RC5 lock?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DeadBolt RC5 measures 2 x 6.95 x 1.95 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the RC5 be used on hitch locks other than brake actuators?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RC5 is designed and recommended specifically for securing trailer brake actuators, not general hitch or coupler applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CT Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031071301851,"sku":"CTJ-RC5","price":15.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/417YYQiCDFL.jpg?v=1785207996","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/deadbolt-surge-brake-coupler-lock-rc5-1-4-inch-diameter-3-3-8-inch-span","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
