Video Surveillance showed my trailer was stolen in UNDER 4-minutes. Master Lock Pad Lock, Coupler Lock, and THE CLUB 491 tire lock were all compromised, the trailer was hitched-up and off they went with $16K in cargo plus the trailer cost $9K. (Trailer Insurance covered the trailer, but you must have home/renter insurance to cover the contents; oops.) The remnant of a trailer was found, and declared totaled. On the Market, there are GPS Trackers for Trailers that have a 5 year battery life that send alerts to your smart phone to track it down but if it gets totalled you still have a huge hassle. To deter the theft, this is the product I wish I had bought!!! The scrawny masterlock (left) next to this mamoth AMPLOCK (Right) and Abloy Padlock show that AMPLOCK will deter theft. Master Lock is a toy, look at the photo and you can see they just cut with an angle grinder just 1/4" to create a knotch (red paint from the pry bar) and pried it apart in less than 20 seconds per video surveillance. Acid, heat, drills, angle grinders and pry bars will not compromise the AMPLOCK Coupler Lock. I wish I had known about this lock, it may be pricy, but its less than an insurance deductible, and your insurance being dropped, and all the time it takes to buy a new trailer, insurance, customize it again, and all the stuff that goes in it. The thief stole a heck of a lot of my time too. The actual locking mechanism in the AMPLOCK is VERY similar and quite impressive to an Abloy lock which is the second best lock manufacturer (Sargent and Greenleaf 951C Heavy Duty Grade-7 Padlock is the best of the best padlock @$2,500). So the lock design on the AMPLOCK is about a Grade-6 in the security world) Bottom Line it will not be compromised. A thief in the night needs to be in and out in a very short period of time; less than 4 minutes. There is no way this lock can be compromised with drive up hand tools. Game over. In addition to buying this AMPLock for the coupler, I bought a Abloy Protec2 PL 330 Padlock ($110) for the hitch lock, and a Abloy Protect 2 PL 362 padlock ($295) with a ABUS Hardened Alloy 10' Chain ($110) with a sock cover. Should I leave for an extended period of time, I will put the chain through the tandem rims and around the axle for extra assurance; the sock prevents the rims from being scratched. Oh, be sure to put a set of McGard Wheel Lug Nut Locks on too. My neighbors boat was stolen recently, and he had a tire claw on his tandem axle trailer, and the thieves just took the wheel off, and drove off on three wheels. So the lug nut lock is key. The AMPLOCK is on youtube, but even that doesn't show you the side by side difference in coupler locks and the AMPLOCK. This lock is worth every penny! Nothing on the market compares to AMPLOCK, and I scoured the market. In my town, over 20 trailers are stolen every month. When mine was stolen, people in my neighborhood I didn't even know came up and told me their stories. I had no idea trailer theft was on the rise and I live in a upscale neighborhood; I just which it was gated.
