Not so sure but if you back into the B&W and the handle closes and don't pin it I have been told the jaws won't come open. Not going to try that. I lock my handle closed that's part of my routine.
I've towed 200+ miles with the handle closed but not pinned on a B&W Companion without a problem, other than my shorts when I found it when I started to unhitch.
On the other hand, I ALWAYS pin the handle open to unhitch as recommended by B&W. If you don't remove the pin, the handle won't move to the closed position, but I would certainly notice that.
