Buyers - Pintle Lock

The primary purpose of a Buyers pintle lock is to deter theft when a trailer is parked and unattended. It works by filling the "eye" of the drawbar (the lunette ring), making it impossible for a thief to drop the ring onto their own vehicle's pintle hook.

A Buyers Products pintle lock is a heavy-duty security device designed to protect trailers that use a pintle hitch system. While a standard pintle hitch uses a hook-and-loop mechanism for high-capacity towing, a dedicated pintle lock—often referred to as a —physically occupies the trailer's lunette ring to prevent unauthorized hookups.
