Most Coupler Locks Fail on Boat Trailers – The BT7 Series Solves It

Boat trailer manufacturers use many types of trailer couplers. Some trailer manufacturers use the standard stamped coupler that is used on most utility trailers. Boat trailers are more likely to use surge brake couplers that activate the trailer brakes any time the towing vehicle decelerates.

The Rise of Square Body Couplers

The popularity of this feature encouraged the development of a different style of coupler known as the “square body” coupler. There are several manufacturers of these types of couplers including Dexter, Heritage, Demco, and others.

The Unique Security Challenge Boat Trailer Coupler Locks Present

These square body couplers present a unique challenge for coupler locks because the tops of these couplers are angled, creating a ramp effect that causes coupler locks to slide off. In order for a coupler lock to provide true security, it must fit the profile of the coupler.

The BT7 Series’ Solution

At Bank Trailer Security Systems LLC, we have developed the BT7 series of coupler locks specifically designed for square body couplers. Each coupler lock model provides a glove like fit to the exact profile of the coupler. This ensures that no matter how much hammering or prying these locks are subjected to, they will stay firmly attached to the coupler. The BT7 series coupler locks work with both surge brake and non-surge brake couplers.

There is a companion storage bracket designed specifically to work with these coupler locks. By providing a place to lock and store your coupler lock on the trailer frame, you are ensured that your coupler lock is always available and ready to protect your trailer from theft.

You can find these and other high security coupler locks at Banktss.com. For peace of mind, “Put the security of your trailer in the Bank.”
