No matter how safe you think your neighbourhood is, theft can happen in seconds if your property isn't secure
Welcome back to another episode of Gear up with Gregg's.
My name is Richard, and I'm a driver here.
Today I'm going to walk you through Trimax's line of specialty locks.
Security is important, especially when have valuable equipment or vehicles you want to keep safe.
Thats why Trimax lives by the words lock it, or lose it.
While locks wont always stop theft, they definitely provide an extra layer of security and act
as a deterrent by making would-be thieves think twice about running away with your stuff.
So what kind of stuff are we talking about?
Well, Trimax specializes in locks and more specifically, trailer locks!
First, the ultra-max adjustable wheel locks are a great deterrent for any thief who may
be eyeing up your trailer.
The heavy-gauge, steel disc covers your lug nuts and clamps tight to your wheel for added security.
These locks fit almost all 10 inch to 18 inch wheels and provide protection for trailers,
trucks, construction equipment, boat trailers, cars, ATVs, and more!
To install, simply unlock and open the access point, and open the arms all the way.
Then, position the arms on either side of the wheel and insert the rocking handle on
the inside arm, tightening the lock onto the rim of your wheel.
Dont forget to close and lock the access point once youre done, or anyone with a rocking
handle could easily remove your wheel lock!
If youre looking for something with quick and easy installation, look no further than
the deluxe universal wheel chock lock.
These locks are made from heavy-gauge, powder coated steel, so you can rest easy knowing
your property is locked up tight.
It also comes with three keys and rubber-coated arms to protect your wheels finish.
Using this lock is easy, just insert your key and do a quarter turn clockwise.
The lock cylinder will pop, letting you know that the arms are free and ready to move.
Open the arms and install the lock onto your wheel, making sure to have the chock on the
side of your wheel that faces downhill.
Press the cylinder down once you have it secure and in position.
And just like the Ultra-Max, this lock is pick-resistant!
Padlocks are the usual tool for locking gates or trailers, but something you might not think
of is how easily these locks can be removed.
A pair of bolt cutters is usually all a determined thief needs to remove your lock and pass through unhindered.
That's why these hockey puck universal fit shielded door locks were created: to provide
better protection against bolt cutters, since theres no exposed shackle to cut or saw!
Another common form of trailer protection are locks like these.
the universal coupler lock.
These heavy-duty locks offer a hardened steel shackle and a reinforced, armored shoulder
that resist hammer strikes and saw cuts.
And best of all, the dual-purpose locks fit all coupler types and sizes!
One of the most unique locking systems offered by Trimax, is the versa-cable locking system.
This system features a moveable head, which means you can change the configuration of your lock.
This lock isnt just flexible in the way you can use it, its also flexible with its cables!
You can choose to use a 6-foot, 12-foot, or 30-foot cable.
They're all interchangeable with just one lock cylinder!
While were on the topic of cool locks, lets not forget about the rugged rotor and disc locks.
These come in an alarmed 7mm and a non-alarmed 10mm option.
Both versions feature high-security, anti-drill lock cores and hardened exteriors to resist
cutting, sawing, and chisels.
Now, the alarmed lock includes a piercing 110dB siren alarm, to alert you of any movement
or possible lock tampering.
Both of these locks are perfect for motorcycles, especially when youre parking that pretty
bike on the street!
But Trimax isn't just about locks. They also have a line of adjustable hitches
and ball mounts for all your towing needs!
The Razor aluminum adjustable hitches are made with 100% polished aluminum
and are designed to adjust as you need them to.
With the ability to use them for rise or drop applications, along with the 2 inch and 2-5/16
inch ball options, these hitches give you the adaptability you need for towing all kinds of loads.
Now, rise and drop can be tricky to figure out,
so well go through a quick guide to help you out.
To determine your rise and drop, you need to measure the distance from the ground to
the top of the receiver tube (A), and subtract the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler or draw bar (B).
A positive difference means that you need a drop with the length of the difference (C).
If the measurement is negative, a hitch with a rise the length of the difference (C) is needed.
Once your trailer is level, you'll want to make sure your hitch is locked into the receiver tube.
After all, you dont want someone coming along and driving off with your trailer!
The Razor locking pin set has everything you need to make sure that your trailer isn't going anywhere.
We've got loads of other locking options, everything from wheel locks, to chains, to u-locks.
