Full details
The Stronghold Hitch lock SH5417 is designed for owners of trailers equipped with Bradley AUTO head braked couplings who require a robust, reliable security deterrent. Its primary benefit is the prevention of unauthorized coupling and trailer theft through a high-strength locking mechanism; however, users should note that this specific model is precision-engineered for the Bradley AUTO head and is not universally compatible with other hitch types.

FAQs
Can I use this on a non-Bradley hitch?
No, the SH5417 is specifically engineered for Bradley AUTO head braked couplings and will not provide a secure fit on other models.
Is the lock weather-resistant?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use and is resistant to environmental factors, though regular cleaning is recommended to maintain performance.
What should I do if I lose my keys?
Keep a record of your key code provided with the unit. If lost, contact Maypole or a professional locksmith to discuss potential key replacement options based on the key code.
Does this lock the trailer while it is attached to my vehicle?
No, this is a security device intended to be used when the trailer is uncoupled and unattended.
Is the lock difficult to install?
It is designed for straightforward, quick installation, fitting directly over the coupling head without complex tools.
Troubleshooting
The lock will not slide over the hitch head
Ensure the Bradley AUTO head coupling is in the correct position and that no debris is obstructing the fitment area.
Key is difficult to turn
Apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant to the lock cylinder. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This device is exclusively compatible with Bradley AUTO head braked trailer couplings. Verify your hitch model before purchase, as it will not fit standard couplings.
Setup:
- Ensure the hitch is in the fully released position.
- Align the SH5417 over the Bradley AUTO head coupling.
