Enclosed Trailer Security? What is everyone doing?

[Deasoninc]

I saw the thread for the open trailer security and though I would start one about the enclosed. I have just been using Brinks locks but am sick and tired of the `frozen locks`issue. So what`s out there.
Thanks.

i always take my locks off when travelling and put them back on after take sleds out for ride

ya , that`s what I have been doing , but it is a pain in the a$$. What about locking up the hitch....

 

[polarice]

i dont lock my hitch when i am hooked up to the truck ... when i park at a staging area make sure i park so its nearly impossible to separate it ... but when i cant do that then i lock it up ... we mainly go to the crowsnest pass so it is fairly safe down there

They make locks with a protective/weather proof cap. canadian tire, peavy mart and a few others carry them. you can get them in 2,4 and 6 packs. only issue I found with them is that when they are cold, you may need a flat screwdriver to pop the cap open.

plastic baggies and tape works, or either or, also a 12 guage or a snipe as well lol

I agree with Tmix. couple years ago had my trailer stolen from my locked yard, Loaded. two gate locks, had a ball lock and a pin lock on the trailer. All locks cut with a grinder and gone. If the assh&^%s want it there gunna take it. Just can't stop em. The cops didn't even come and check it out. They told me it's gone. Pi##ed me off!!!

supervision security inc has a security system for trailers. Hitch Depot in Red Deer AB. carries them. They were at the Edmonton sled show. They have an self contained alarm system with solar charging, locks up trailer brakes and gps capabilities. About $1500.00 and $900.00 if you want the gps tracking add on. Fairly cheap really when you think of what you have to lose. Monitors it even if you dont have it connected to the vehicle. summer storage or whatever.

Bought my locks from Western Locksmiths just south of whitemud on 97str I believe. They are weather proof, have boron metal thats is supposed to be much harder to cut thru, and I got three keyed alike. They have been awesome locks, never freeze, easy to open etc.

Now the bad news ... $150.00 for the set

But why skimp on security right! Have never had a problem btw. Trailer is locked, then locked to truck, truck is locked with security as well. Also won't park in isolated spots that make it a target either.

OK where's some wood to knock on ..... ouch! Head hurts! :d

Carry on!!

i like the way you guys are thinking! i have enclosed job trailers as well as snowmobile trailer, i use the boots on job trailers, only problem is they seem to get tagged! when i catch the f$^ckers i'll nail them to the side of the trailer! no more ranting, i always lock the doors and the hitches, but remember to take the locks off when trailering, spent many a cold night trying to open frozen locks. frozen is easy, when grime and dirt get in the locks another story. i make sure to always lube the locks with wd40, and i use white greese in the hitch locks and any with covers.

heard of trailers being locked up, only to have the hasps knocked off with a hammer, also not much stops those portable grinders. I'm putting slide bolts on the inside of ramp doors, but haven't decided on entrance door.
looks like not much will stop the low lifes other than lead.
