7 pin connector lock?

Yeah could have been more specific I guess, it is a TT and I want to lock the trailer end.. :)

Is this 5th wheel or trailer?
If trailer...Locking it in place...if you hit some junk on the on road with it locked down, it for sure has no chance of breaking free and will take other wiring with it. Having it just plugged in, maybe you can pull over and plug back into socket if you hit some junk. Stealing a cord doesn't rate that high on things to steal, but never know.
If 5th wheel..very little hangs down below bumper, lock if you feel better.

Does somebody even make a lock for that?

I can understand the problem. My 7 pin has a spring door lock also. The turning of the FW puts a slight strain on the plug, I suppose, and it will come loose especially when I make tight turns. I now secure the plug with the door and lay the slack of the cord across the receiver hitch with the hitch in place. I then wrap a bungie cord around the cord to fasten it to the hitch. Now when the FW turns the strain is at the bungie and not on the connector.

I don't know of any lock for the trailers plug. Putting dielectric grease in the connectors will help keep them free of corrosion.

to keep the trailer end clean just buy a spare tow vehicle end and plug it into the trailer end when it's not in use. I'm not sure I see the security in locking a 7 pin connector. Just lock the trailer hitch.

Not going to start a debate on the benefit of locking things, Lets just assume it will make me all warm and fuzzy..:) Anyhoo, does anyone know of a lock for the end of the 7 pin electrical connector? For me it would fulfill 2 objectives,l some added level of security, and keeping the end clean and free of debris. I have spent some amount of time both here and online without any good results..(next million dollar idea)? or I just stink at searching..:)

Any suggestions?

I'm a little slow and I don't understand your problem.

I have a 7-pin connector on the back of my RV that has a spring-loaded door that snaps down and keeps dirt out of the connector when the 7 conductor cable is removed. I have the same thing on my toad. When I remove the cable, the connectors at both ends snap down to keep the receptacles clean.

It seems like it would be easy enough to install a hasp lock across both receptacles to "secure" them.
