Description of ๐Ÿ”’ Master Lock - Trailer Locks, Universal Size - Fits 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" Couplers - Model #389DAT

Universal coupler lock fits virtually all 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" trailer couplers. This lock protects unattended trailers and guards against tow-away theft. The bright red finish discourages thiefs from messing with your trailer. Resists rust and corrosion. Simple installation and removal. Advanced locking mechanism resists picking and prying. We can NOT key two (2) of these locks the same. The similar 379KA coupler locks are available keyed alike. The only difference between this one (389DAT) and the 379KA is the color.

Easy to put on and take off

Made of forged steel, fits well and closes the clutch. Easy to put on and take off. Anything can be broken or removed if someone really wants something. I've looked at many other options, this one seems the most secure and difficult to remove without a key.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Some little things

Waste of money for exterior accessories

3 months in use, maybe 4 times and the thing sticks. The key does not turn the cylinder. Complete crap, better spend a little more for something that works. I have to try to pick the lock. We tried everything like butter, all heated to no avail. Very disappointed. Master Lock used to be a premium brand that could be trusted for good locks.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • I don't like it at all, everything is fine

I can't take it off! - Tow hitch accessories

So I bought 2 of these for my trailers. I installed them about a week ago. I needed my trailer yesterday and even I couldn't get it. The castle was FROSTED after one night at 32 degrees. UGG Take the heat gun, grab the power cord and run it to the trailers. I couldn't get the key in the lock, then I couldn't turn the lock and the lock froze on the trailer. So, FYI, if you know you're going to need your trailer, be prepared to thaw it out. On the other hand, a great lock to protect from the good

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • Some defects

A visible deterrent, NO security lock

This is nothing more than a visible deterrent to a would-be thief. It looks solid and feels heavy, but it's pretty obvious that it's cast metal that will break instantly with a good blow of a hammer. The photo shows how it fits my street hitch - tight. It's also hard to block, but maybe it'll get better with time, I don't know. But a cheap wrench easily jams. Bottom line: if you need something that's just a visible deterrent, that's probably fine. If you want a strong lock that will reallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • So far so good

Easy to lock and unlock!

Very simple but effective trailer lock. I recently bought a small 5x8 foot trailer and wanted at least one lock to (hopefully) most deter it from taking off with the trailer. Although we have security cameras, you can never have enough layers and redundancy. We don't live in a high crime area, but one thief is enough to ruin your day. For the price, the security couldn't be better. I like the contrasting red color against the black pendant. The locking mechanism is smooth and never had aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Can't remember

Terrible in every way

Okay, are you going to be an idiot like me and trust your $29,000 tag to a cheap Master Lock? (Or a $2,000, $5,000, etc. trailer?) DON'T DO THIS! This ball lock is the perfect example of "false security". let me explain. I watched a 10 minute lockpick video on YouTube. Then I bought a cheap Chinese lockpick set from Revain ($8). Today I received the lock picks and decided to see if a completely inexperienced 'thief' could remove this lock from my hitch. So I got to work: at first it took me 60โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Advanced locking mechanism to prevent burglary and burglary.
Cons
  • There are downsides

One star for "looks "!

I bought this item in October 2017 and used it for two winter seasons. The second season froze "tumbler" of the lock and could not be opened with a key. I used "antifreeze/key lube" to see if it would release the lock and turn the key. Nothing worked even after the lock was injected with grease and antifreeze. I had to remove the lock and after trying all the keys I had for the lock I stopped trying. The lock turned out to be a really "inflatedโ€ element, and I expected that cutting it off orโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This lock secures unattended trailers and protects against theft when towing. Bright red detailing deters thieves from tinkering with your trailer.
Cons
  • I will add later

Discreet hitch lock; However, none of them are really safe.

This Master Lock is one size fits all. The #389DAT hitch lock is good money on the hitch and will likely deter around 90% of would-be thieves. It starts easily, locks securely and locks the hitch area so someone can't just drive up to your trailer, hitch it up and pull it away. However, the more you delve into those clutch locks, the murkier things start to look when it comes to fending off the other 10% of desperate thieves. Even seemingly secure locks are surprisingly easy to pick with aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • We CANNOT lock two (2) of these locks with the same key. Similar 379KA clutch locks are available with the same key. The only difference between this (389DAT) and 379KA is the color.
Cons
  • Obsolete
