Trailer Lock
A trailer lock can be used as an anti-theft device to secure a mating feature of a trailer, such as a king pin, against unauthorized hookups by tractors. The trailer lock can include a base plate for mounting on a wall of the trailer; a swing bar pivotally connected to the base plate; and an engagement bar pivotally connected to the swing bar, which engagement bar includes an engagement feature, such as a ring, capable of fitting to the mating feature of the trailer. When the engagement feature is fitted to the mating feature of the trailer (for example, when a ring is placed over a king pin), it can prevent the mating feature from engaging a corresponding mating feature of a tractor, such as a fifth wheel.
