Gladhand Locks, Kingpin Locks vs GPS tracking: Which do You Use?

Exactly why we're seeing vigilantes getting into gun fights to get their stolen property back. Can't trust the cops to do their jobs anymore.

 

With the advent of good battery operated cutoff tools, it becomes really hard to lock a trailer where the lock can’t be removed fairly quick.

 

I'm surprised they don't use the hardened steel spinner like is pretty much standard for abloys. Can't exactly drill that.

 

The best is something out of the box. Swapping the glad hands comes to mind. Plumb it where you hook the red on the left and blue on the right. That should at least slow them down a pretty good bit. Or put a hidden valve somewhere so you can cut off the air supply going to the brakes.

 

The reality is if you park next to others you do a little more than anyone else in the lot. Make the thief pick the easiest targets normally works better then anything else.

 

Hide a couple of Apple AirTags on the trailer.

 

Fire extinguisher & a sledgehammer are faster than cutting tools to break steel.

 

Maybe in the movies.

 

I've done a lot of bushing and bearing installs using dry ice or liquid nitrogen. Steel doesn't shatter like it does in the movies. It gets a little brittle but I've slammed stubborn frozen bushings home with a 4lb hammer and never had any crack or break.

 

How about installing some valves to shut the air supply off hidden under the trailer use one one both lines.
