Our new trailer was stolen out of UHaul, security gate was breached and videos disabled. Five days later the trailer next to us was also stolen. We learned the hard way that you are on your own. We changed locks on our storage compartments....most trailers use the exact same locks. Our local wire rope company sold me 8' of Pewig square chain and even included a canvas cover to protect my wheels, used an Abus security lock...plus a hitch lock. The harder you make it to steal the more likely they well go for the easy pickings. Don't expect the police to be of any help if your trailer is stolen.

What is the chain length you recommend to secure one of the wheels of a dual axle flat bed trailer with 15" wheels?

What are "the triangle ones" to use for smaller wheel openings? I hope to use on new $10K Honda ATV.

Looks great, you could tighten the chain by locking a few links up and would be even better.

I just bought the same chain, abus 14ks, after someone attempted to steal my boat! Any attempted cuts on your equipment? Thanks

Would this chain go through the Airstream Wheel that has a brake system inside of the wheel?

What was the length of the chain to avoid to much slack should I consider? Thanks for the video.

Can you do a video on the enclosed cargo trailer doors?

It would be interesting to see a weight scale inline with the tie down strap. I wonder how much force is applied.

I would love one for my generator but it would just rattle like crazy. Are there rubber wrapped versions?

currently using two high security chains, one to large tree the other hobbled wheel and a alarm system.

I use a short length of chain which goes around the axle and a 5/8 inch rod, which I made,. I wrap the chain around the axle and put the rod through the chain and through the hole in the wheel. Then I attach a puck lock on the end of the rod on the outside of the wheel. I use washers to take up any space between wheel and lock. Advantage is no exposed, or loose chain wrapped around the tire and very little space between wheel and lock, plus the lock is also protected as it is recessed within the wheel. In order to cut chain you would have to lay on ground under trailer. It's almost impossible to get a bolt cutter or grinder to the lock from outside again due to protection from the wheel and how tight is is to the wheel. The way it is shown in this video you have easy access to both chain and lock from outside. My point is all locks and chains can be defeated, but by limiting access it makes the attacks more difficult.

Wayne, great video. Your only link that works is to your main page, nothing showing how someone can purchase or the price$. Thank you.

where can i buy the lock and chain i have a new dump trailer and it has 2 axles and 4 tire over all the tires are w/215/75R17.5''

does the black pewag chain rust if left outdoors?

Hey Wayne what do you call them small cylinders you put in the padlocks can't find them anywhere thanks

Cutting torch is pretty portable. Seen a video thieves had a setup in the back of their truck. Reach the lines from the truck and started cutting away.

How long of chain and which chain size was that ?

Thanks for vid, definitely doing this

Will this work for harbor freight 12 inches wheels which also have triangular holes? Thinking about get one HF trailer. What is the thickness chain, 5/16, 3/8? Thank you!

I'll still be putting the paddock on one lick behind the wheel. Won't be able to put a grinder on it at all. Cheers for all the testing.

I bought a 15’ rubber coated 3/4” steel cable, i loop it through the wheel and both leaf springs, twisting the deal around the axle, then I use a disc lock. All of the products are made by master lock. Plus a tongue lock. All that being said, the steel chain Nd a good lock is a inexpensive solution 👍🏻

Yes, we could use links to the chain and the lock. I searched and see the Pewag Chain in various thicknesses. How does that lock do after being in rain? A lot of smaller locks I looked at reviewers say they've become non-functional after they've gotten wet, maybe rust started inside.

What length of chain is this? I have a similar trailer. Also what's the lock model? Thanks!

im sure you can use map gas to heat up the chain cherry red to soften the metal and then use bolt cutters to cut it. which is a quiet method unlike an angle grinder

good video, but I would route the softest link,the lock under the trailer. Out of the easy access to it.

I can't seem to find the exact chain and lock you were demonstrating in the vehicle. Where do I go to get the same set up

"that cannot be cut..." Right. BTW, I generally use a Victor key....

I'm in South Florida can you tell me a store where to go to buy this chain with the lock? I am looking around to buy it today for my trailer. I visit your website but the was no contact information. Thank you

At 26:30 when you were drilling the lock I noticed the end plate lifting. Once the spinning anti-drill plate was out could you pry off the plate and would that allow removing the lock cylinder or expose something that would allow shimming or something else allowing opening the lock?

I wish there was something we could do with wheels that have brakes. The brakes prevent large chains from going through Rims

What are the links or part #’s for Chain Lock w/upgraded core

Life would be a lot cheaper and happier if we were all honest.

If I wanted to use this chain and lock, but secured to anchor point in concrete, what would anyone recommend for that anchor point? Like, epoxy a rebar loop into the concrete pad? I know there are systems that use wedge anchors but those don't seem good enough.

Two cuts with a battery powered angle grinder and the trailer is gone if this your only defense. I agree, the chain links are incredibly tough with a 63 hardness.

Suppose you could use a battery powered angle grinder on any sort of locking method. So, there's that. Nothing is a guarantee if somebody wants your stuff bad enough.

Given this video was created almost 4 years ago, would you still offer the same suggestion for the lock and chain or are there now other options which you think supersede those recommendations?

I believe you've conquered the cutting of steel. What you should be investing is deflecting a grinder disk. Is there a fabric that would fowl the disk. Something to cover the chain and cant be cut with a knife or scissors.

what is the exact name of that lock? I've been trying to google it, but can't find it :(

I watched your demonstration using a ratcheting tie down. What first struck me as strange is you cutting the strap as you did. Those tie downs are designed to work without being cut. Additionally once the strap twists as I observed that it did, it binds in the ratchet itself and can not be tightened completely but you will be unable to continue ratcheting. I would like to purchase your lock and chain but I have my doubts that the amount of force that you are claiming was actually applied. Just saying.
