Its 4-pin tumbler core, corrosion-resistant plating and weather-tight seal make it a practical choice for owners who need a simple, durable physical deterrent whether the trailer is hitched or stored. The lock works by preventing the latch from operating, blocking both insertion and removal of the trailer ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this lock secure a trailer's coupler latch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Master Lock 1471DAT slips through the coupler latch mechanism so the latch cannot move into an open or closed position.
