Wp-S compact stainless steel towbar hitch lock – universal anti-theft for trailers
Want a simple, no-nonsense way to stop someone nicking your trailer or boat? The WP-S compact towbar hitch lock is built to be tough, quick to use and utterly straightforward. It’s not a flashy gadget — just solid stainless steel protection that’ll make any opportunist thief think twice and give you a bit more peace of mind when you leave a trailer hitched or briefly unhitched.
Quick facts
- Made from treated stainless steel so it stands up to the weather and salt spray — handy if you keep your boat by the coast.
- Lightweight at roughly 200 g and compact (up to 15 cm), so it slips into a pocket or glovebox with no faff.
- Works when the trailer is attached and, for some setups, offers partial protection when uncoupled.
- Padlock not included — fits most standard commercial padlocks, so you can choose the level of security you want.
Details and why it helps
This pendant-style lock sits in the towbar pendant or hitch point to prevent easy removal of the trailer. Stainless steel construction means it won’t rust away, and the smooth, rounded finish avoids scratching paintwork or catching straps. It’s ideal for utility trailers, cargo trailers, travel trailers and boat trailers alike.
It’s really useful for everyday moments: nipping into the shops with a bike rack on the back, leaving a dinghy on the slip for a short run, or loading and unloading on site. It stops someone sliding a pin out while you’re distracted. And because it’s small and light, there’s no excuse to leave it at home — a proper fit‑and‑forget deterrent.
If you’re wondering about fitting or whether you need a special padlock — you don’t. Any common padlock that fits the pendant will do. Remember the lock isn’t supplied, so pick a decent, weatherproof padlock to match how much protection you want.
