Will the lock protect against all types of theft?

Is the yellow color purely for visibility?
Yes, the bright yellow color serves as a highly visible deterrent, making it immediately apparent that the trailer is secured.
What is the benefit of the full collar design?
The full collar design prevents grease from the king pin from transferring to the lock and surrounding areas, keeping your hands and equipment clean. It also adds structural reinforcement to the lock.
Troubleshooting
Lock is difficult to engage/disengage.
Ensure the king pin is clean and free of excessive grease. Check for any debris obstructing the locking mechanism. A light lubrication of the push-button mechanism might help if it feels stiff.
Lock appears to be loose on the king pin.
Verify that you have the correct size lock for your king pin. Ensure the lock is fully engaged. This lock is designed for a snug fit to maximize security.
Visible signs of corrosion or wear.
While the epoxy coating is durable, inspect regularly. For minor wear, clean the area and consider a touch-up paint suitable for metal if needed. The limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects.
