- Good to know !
- That's pathetic but what is a good hitch lock?
- Any that rely on that design will have the same weakness.
Even a strong lock will not stand up to a cutting disc on a cordless grinder. - I'd like to know what a good, top quality lock would be.
Like GordonThree said above, a cutting disc will get about anything off.
Maybe it is a matter of keeping honest people honest. Most of the time, I would assume that is used in a storage yard, or similar. Making your trailer a little more difficult to steal than the one next to you might be enough. - To get my TT you will have to cut the lock off the tongue , move my truck , move my daughter in laws car , move my sons car and finally move my daily driver , by the time you do all that my neighbor being ex military sniper will most likely have a red dot on your head , not to mention I most likely will be home , best thing for your well being is go pick on someone that has one of those yellow tongue locks
- Honest people don't need locks to keep them honest.........otherwise they aren't honest to begin with :S
Locks of any type either dissuade a thief to go for easier pickings OR slow them down
With the availability of high powered battery tools.....locks barely slow them down anymore. - X2
Old-Biscuit is smack on target.
Add that many of these types of security things only provide the mental security lots of folks are looking for - When my brother passed away a few years ago, he had 20-30 different trailers around his place. He also had a large collection of keys. I was able to match a key to most of the trailer locks. The ones he had are much sturdier than this one, with a lip that actually was on the outside and clamped on the lip of the hitch.
He has a trailer with a walk-behind Toro mower on it and I couldn't find the key for the lock. While having a sale, I had a guy ask me about the mower. I told him that I didn't know if it even ran because I couldn't get the trailer lock off and move the trailer out of the shed to look at the mower.
He asked if I wanted him to get the lock off. I said "Sure, if you can".
he walked away and about 3 minutes later, he walked back up to me with the lock in his hand.
I never asked how he did it, but I knew then, that these are a waste of money.
If an honest guy can get one off that quick, a crook will be just as quick. I had planned to sell the locks, but ended up throwing them all away. - http://provenlocks.com/products/model-2516-fits-2-516
I am supposed to receive this lock today. Check out the demo videos of the different locks being removed by force, sometimes in seconds.
Dave - Who's willing to send their $300 super lock to the LockLab?
