Product Information
Full details
The SAS Vault Hitchlock is designed for caravan and trailer owners who require a reliable, high-visibility theft deterrent for their parked vehicles. Its primary benefit is the combination of a robust, box-style steel construction and a heavy-duty stainless steel disk padlock, providing effective security against unauthorized hitching. However, users should note that the box-style design requires specific clearance around the coupling head, making it essential to verify compatibility with your unique hitch model before use.

FAQs
Does this lock come with a warranty?
SAS products generally carry a manufacturer's warranty against defects in material and workmanship; please check your specific purchase receipt for coverage details.
Can I replace the padlock if it is lost?
Yes, you can purchase a replacement DC70 stainless steel disk padlock from SAS or compatible third-party vendors.
Is the green finish rust-proof?
The casing is constructed from durable materials, but standard maintenance involves keeping it clean to prevent any surface corrosion over time.
Will this fit a braked hitch?
The Vault is designed for most standard hitches, but you should confirm your coupling model matches the inner dimensions of the box-style housing.
Can I use this while towing?
No, this hitchlock is intended for use while the caravan or trailer is parked and stationary.
Troubleshooting
Padlock will not lock into place
Ensure the box housing is pushed fully flush against the hitch and that the internal holes are aligned.
Key is difficult to turn in the lock
Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or silicone spray into the keyway and work the key in and out gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the SAS Vault, ensure the hitch handle is in the locked position before placing the device over the coupling. Always verify that the hitch lock is fully engaged before walking away. For compatibility, this model fits most standard coupling heads; however, check your hitch dimensions if you have an unconventional or specialized aftermarket coupling. For maintenance, keep the padlock cylinder lubricated with a light silicone-based spray to prevent freezing or stiffness in cold weather. Periodically wipe the green outer casing with a damp cloth to remove grit and maintain its high-visibility status.
