Not all couplers are the same

What is a stamped steel coupler?

Stamped steel coupler

Stamped steel couplers are formed from one piece of steel. These couplers will have a flange that flares out from the bottom of the coupler to make a lip around the base. Madlock utilizes that flange to keep your trailer safe and secure.

Cast coupler

Some couplers are made from different materials such as cast steel and have a different design. Most cast couplers do not have a flanged lip at the bottom. If you have a cast coupler Madlock will not currently fit your application.



Do you have multiple trailers?

Madlock trailer locks can also be ordered as keyed alike as a pair or multiples.
