The B&Q 50mm Trailer Hitch Coupling Lock is an essential security accessory for owners of trailers, caravans, and horse boxes who need a reliable, low-profile deterrent against unauthorized towing. It provides peace of mind by physically preventing the hitch head from connecting to a vehicle; however, it should be noted that this device serves as a primary deterrent and is most effective when used alongside secondary security chains or wheel locks for maximum protection.

It is designed for standard 50mm couplings, which cover the vast majority of consumer trailers and caravans.
No, this is a security device designed specifically to prevent the trailer from being hitched to a vehicle.
The materials are designed for outdoor use; however, regular maintenance and lubrication will extend its life when exposed to rain and salt.
The lock is designed as a high-security item; it is recommended to keep one key in a safe indoor location. If both are lost, a professional locksmith may be required.
While effective at preventing hitching, it is best used as part of a multi-layered security approach, such as using wheel clamps or hitch chains alongside it.
Apply a small amount of lubricating spray into the keyhole and gently wiggle the key to clear any internal debris or corrosion.
Ensure you have tightened the lock fully until the internal expansion mechanism is firm against the sides of the coupling head.
To ensure the longevity of your security insert, keep the locking core free of debris and road grime. If the locking mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicon-based spray into the keyway. Ensure your hitch head is free of excessive grease before insertion to prevent the lock from slipping. Always store your spare key in a secure location separate from your primary set to avoid being locked out of your own trailer.
