Great for my trailers with 225/75/15 tires

Great for my trailers with 225/75/15 tires. I have a tandem axle trailer and use two, one for each axle. The wheel chock also helps prevent trailer movement when jacking up and uncoupling. I got them as a deterrent against thieves and 90% of thieves don't mind seeing it there, especially with two as it would take a very long time to remove both. I also use lock nuts on the rims and two sleeve locks which is a great solution for securing the Trifecta.

Pros
  • Unique design locks the wheel during installation so it doesn't roll
Cons
  • Does not fit all

This lock saved my caravan.

This is the second lock I have bought and it was worth it. This lock saved my caravan. The trailer was parked in front of my office and someone tried to steal it. We came back the next day and the thief cut off my hitch lock and stole the wheel the lock was attached to. We assumed they took it somewhere to cut the lock and came back on the bike to collect the trailer. I've since added locknuts (2 different types), a much stronger link lock, a "trunk" type wheel lock, and this lock again…

Pros
  • Durable powder coating for years of corrosion-free service.
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

save your money for tools and equipment

I bought this unit just over a year ago. I use it in addition to a Proven Locks 2516 AS towbar lock. I usually use the trailer 8-10 times a year. When I wanted to open the Trimax lock for a trip over the weekend, the key didn't go far enough into the lock to open it. I sprayed lube on the lock and let it sit for an hour but to no avail. I always use the protective cover that comes with the lock so nothing gets in the lock. I decided to cut the block off the tire so we could continue. It took…

Pros
  • Heavy duty tamper proof lock with 2 keys
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Doesn't quite go well with my 15" trailer tires but works quite well as a deterrent. It also works very well as a wedge on soft or rough surfaces. Don't think it will work as well on a smooth surface as the tooth plate cannot cut into anything. I like that it has a plastic cover for the locking mechanism that is supposed to keep snow and rain out. The recommended tire sizes and the Trimax TCL75 Wheel Chock Lock are listed on the packaging. Too bad they don't list it in the Amazon description…

Pros
  • Made of thick, strong powder coated steel
Cons
  • Slightly chipped

Within 30 days my trailer was stolen

I have 2 wheel locks on my 12ft trailer. The thief sawed them up by hand in minutes. If you think it will deter any kind of theft. think again If someone wants your pendant, they will get it. I also had 2 clutch locks that were sawed off. I am very disappointed in the quality of the metal used in this lock as how do you remove that from the hoop. I called the police and a few hours later the thief threw out my trailer after realizing that what was inside was too heavy to move and virtually…

Pros
  • Rubber levers protect the surface of the wheels
Cons
  • Problems

Might be safer!

I give this product two stars for two reasons: First, the packaging is so tight that it is difficult to open. I used utility knives, scissors and a razor. In doing so, he cut his hands. I don't know why everything has to be sealed in plastic these days; that's ridiculous. Wear gloves! Bought two, one for each tire. I have a handcrafted drop trailer and it is beautiful. I don't want it stolen. Came with the exact same keys. I don't know how secure it is... If all these locks have the same key…

Pros
  • Quick and easy installation for unattended trailers, cars, boats, ATVs and more.
Cons
  • Functionality
