Product details
Vershin TCS-01 universal tow hitch lock (yellow)
A simple, no-nonsense way to stop someone nicking your trailer, boat or caravan. The Vershin TCS-01 is made to fit the common coupler sizes you see day-to-day and is built to take a bit of weather and rough handling — handy when your trailer spends nights on the drive or waiting at the slipway.
built to deter thieves
The lock’s bright yellow finish isn’t for looks alone — it’s an obvious visual deterrent. Beneath the paint is a hardened die-cast zinc body with steel internals, so it stands up to force and resists corrosion. The mechanism is designed to stop the coupler being pulled free, making it much harder for someone to tow off with your gear. It’s practical prevention that gives proper peace of mind when you’re leaving the trailer unattended.
easy to fit and use
No faffing about with tools or fiddly bits. Pop the ball joint into the coupler, slide the lock into place and turn the key — job done. It comes with two keys, so you can hand a spare to a partner or keep one tucked away at home. Ideal when you’re in a hurry before setting off.
- Fits 1.8", 2" and 2.5" trailer couplers — covers most small to medium trailers and boat couplings.
- Weather-resistant painted finish helps prevent rust and keeps the lock looking tidy.
- Hardened die-cast zinc lock body with steel components provides strength and durability.
- Bright yellow colour acts as a visible theft deterrent.
- Simple installation without tools — quick locking and unlocking using the supplied keys.
who is this for and when it helps
Perfect for owners of small trailers, boat trailers, jet-ski trolleys, camper trailers and utility trailers who want an affordable, obvious anti-theft measure. It’s particularly useful if the trailer’s left on a driveway, stored in a yard, or unattended during stops on a long run. It won’t replace an all-singing alarm system, but as a first line of defence it’s a very effective deterrent.

Some will ask if it’ll stop a determined thief with specialist tools — no lock is completely foolproof, but this one makes unauthorised towing a lot harder and puts off casual thefts. For best results, use it alongside other measures such as wheel clamps, keeping keys secure, or parking in a well-lit spot. That combination is especially comforting in winter when visibility and peace of mind matter most.
