Why a Trailer Lock?

Generally speaking most of our customers have tried other trailer locks and have had many negative experiences. A customer said: “I tried others twice and lost the trailer twice. So I know what an inexpensive trailer lock does and no thank you.” Another customer said: “My generator cost $54,000 – lost is once, got it back – time to get serious!” One customer bought a $15,000 BBQ trailer and wanted to lock it so no one could take it - he thought very seriously about what lock to use and he chose our trailer lock

 

Trailer Theft – How big of a Problem?  Short answer – no one knows!

FBI statistics: $40 billion 2004. But is that everything? Many large freight companies do not report theft if the loss is less than $50,000 – bigger companies $100,000 – so if you do not report a theft it is not in the statistics. It is a BIG problem!

The Origination of GusHill Trailer Locks and DaPosit Box Locks

Ken Gustafson, co-founder of GusHill Industries, had a trailer stolen in 1986. It was a common utility trailer that he had chained and padlocked to a large tree for security. The thief simply used bolt-cutters to cut the chain and drive off with Ken's trailer. The county sheriff later caught the thief and Ken got his trailer back. When he did, he decided he needed to find a way to keep what he worked hard to buy. A welder by trade, Ken set out to design his first trailer security device out of personal necessity. Twenty years later, and after extreme efforts that even encompassed a trip to Switzerland to talk to lock experts, Gus Hill Industries now offer four lines of  the most impenetrable, high-quality trailer locks made (no lock can be said to be completely "impenetrable") so others can avoid the victimization that Ken experienced.

 

Why Is An ASSA Puck Lock So Important?

Says Ken Gustafson (inventor) " Now with a ASSA Puck Lock...the keys are unique and the cylinder is stainless steel. This lock is very VERY, extremely difficult to pick and very extremely difficult to drill...or any other words it is the highest security lock that I could find....anywhere in the world! "

 

How Are Trailer Hitch Locks at GusHill Different From The Competition?

GusHill locks have three key features that set them apart from other trailer locks. First, they protect your hitch. Many other locks try to secure the hitch mechanism. GusHill locks prevent your trailer from being towed by attaching to your hitch the same way a tow vehicle would. Second, our locks protect themselves by design. Once locked, they have a protective collar that will not allow bolt-cutters, pry bars, or saws to get to the actual lock. Finally, the locks are made from heavy-duty metal alloys that are highly resistant to virtually any type of brute or mechanical force or cutting torch. While few things in life are certain, the differences certainly provide piece of mind.

 

Is It Easy To Install?

All GusHill locks can be installed in less than a minute. Depending on the model, a simple two or three step process leaves no doubt that the lock has been installed correctly and your trailer is secure.
