finmac Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Which lock would you recommend to stop someone nicking my BJ trailer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 We've always used this on our caravan. Very robust. nullI suppose you could also fit a wheel clamp or leave it on stands with the wheels removed if you wanted to be belt & braces. Is it likely to be stolen on the Isle of Lewis, I thought you were fairly crime free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi Finlay, I've got anSAS Original Clamp. Might be worth checking out Ebay as I picked a 2nd hand one up for £30 sometime ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted April 4, 2011 Support Team Share Posted April 4, 2011 The wheel bar they do is excellent - fits to 2 special studs on the wheel. I've also got a shackle type hitch lock but if I was buying again would get the proper locking hitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its for mainland trips to Knockhill etc, dont want to lose Trailer and Caterham in one go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I didn't think of that! Mainland UK is a dodgy place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pikey Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Finmac I'd consider getting a hitch lock and a wheels lock. The hitch lock wants to be something that locks it on or off the tow ball so they can't rob it from the motorway services. If your trailer has a normal Al-Ko hitch on then the Al-Ko safety device is hard to beat but you will need to fit the mounting lugs that come in the kit and that takes about ten mins. Also any decent wheel clamp that also covers the wheel nuts is worth fitting even it you have a hitchlock to stop people manually pulling the trailer to a quiet part of the car park to tear your hitch lock off.

Baz Hemsley Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Fint lock or 12 bore. From experience if they want it they will take it. You can only make as difficult as poss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Auton Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Bull Dog are the probably the best you can get at the moment. However most wheel clamps will deter the opportunist thief, if some one is determined and armed with an hydraulic ram ( like most pikey's are 🙆🏻) they will have it away.

peterg Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Another vote for the Bulldog *thumbup* bear in mind a lot, if not all, trailer insurance policies require you to have TWO means of securing the trailer (ie hitchlock AND wheelclamp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart McGill Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I MIGHT have a bulldog wheel clamp for sale after the week-end. I have just bought a second hand one but it is bigger than I thought it was and not sure if it is going to fit under the boat trailer mud guard it was bought for. I'll be able to confirm at the week-end. Drop me a blatmail if of interest. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
