Default Trailer / Wheel Locks

Anyone know where to pick up wheel locks at a reasonable price? A friends storage yard is getting thinned out of a couple of utility trailers.

Thanks, Dodger.

Yes thiers lock around tire hub partially open. But in the age of the cordless grinder they can cut through anything now if they want it bad enough

If you can wait for shipping, they have them on Amazon.

A cordless grinder with a zip disc is a mighty tool. Get a removable hitch tongue

You could block the trailer up so the tires are 1/4" off the ground and then let the air out of the tires. Shouldn't get far and you can follow them

Trailer theft has been a huge problem for a while now. This is what I use. Cost me about $250 a few years ago but worth the piece of mind.

Yup if they really want what you have they will get it. You just have to make it easier for them to take the next one down. Had one stollen in a fenced compound they reached over fence with picker truck and bang it was gone. And don't think for a minute they owned that truck iether

When I park my trailer for extended periods, I remove the wheels on one side and set it on blocks. Very difficult to tow away...
