CURT: Second-Straight SEMA Best New Exterior Accessory Award

A year after its BetterWeigh™ mobile towing scale won the Best New Exterior Accessory Award at SEMA, CURT repeated its success with the universal tri-ball coupler lock (23082) in 2020. The tri-ball component lets the lock fit virtually all standard coupler sizes: 1 7/8”, 2”, and 2 5/16”. 

This product represents a unique approach to trailer security.  First, it can be used while the trailer is hooked up for towing or left unattended. Second, it features unique built-in breaking points. When struck with enough force, the tri-ball will break off at the base—leaving the ball inserted in the coupler, where it continues to prevent unauthorized trailer hookup.  

Congratulations to CURT for its continued innovation!

The FORTRESS coupler lock from Fastway is the most universal coupler lock on the market, designed to work with nearly all variances, from inverted couplers and wide flanges to surge breaks and different ball sizes and latch mechanisms. FORTRESS takes the guesswork out of securing your trailer coupler, whether it’s for boats, RVs, horses, ATVs, and more. Fastway tested the FORTRESS on thousands of applications—and they still didn’t find one that didn’t fit.

The 86-00-5015 FORTRESS coupler lock features a thick housing, pick-proof lock, corrosion-resistance, a solid opposing bolt system that locks both sides, and a front-facing key hole for easy access to keyholders. Includes a winged cover to protect the lock from dirt, debris, rust, and ice.

Fits most trailers with a 1-7/8”, 2”, or 2-5/16” tongue.
