These are the tools to use for securing trailers at the loading dock. Unscheduled departures from the
dock can result in serious injury and have resulted in loss of life. These loading dock locks save lives!
Protect your people by securing trailers at the loading dock with Carrier's Glad Hand &King Pin Locks.
Our locks stop the search for lost trailers. These anti-theft devices are great for securing redlined
trailers - or for trailers being loaded and unloaded at your dock. Of course, our locks are great
anti-theft protection tools. Trailers are left parked on street or lots, unattended and without locks are
an invitation for anyone with a tractor to haul them away.
A lot of truck operators seem to have accepted theft as a part of business - an operating expense so to
speak - but it doesn't have to be that way. For more helpful information on trucking industry facts,
figures & history, check out our resources page. Remember, theft prevention is the key.
Carrier's Glad Hand Lock page --- simple in design and the clean solution for all your trailer control
needs; locks act like a harness around the emergency glad hand. The Steel-Tuff Glad Hand Lock
comes in the Gladlock Glad Hand Lock design and is a solid yet flexible trailer control device.
This gladlock style glad hand lock must be removed before the emergency brakes on the trailer are
released. The Steel-Tuff Glad Hand Lock is manufactured in the Gladlock style (traditional) design and
comes with stainless steel and zinc plated hardware. Go to the glad hand locks page.
Carrier's Kingpin Lock page --- these king pin locks prevent unauthorized hookups to any fifth wheel
trailer and give you the trailer control and security needed in today's increasingly demanding and
changing environments. Our king pin locks work on 5th Wheel Trailers/Campers as well. Often called
pin locks, they do just that - they simply surround the kingpin and thereby secure any trailer,
preventing theft and/or unwanted movement.
This heavy duty king pin lock will greatly reduce the chances of
intentional or unintentional coupling to the fifth wheel kingpin. The lock
is casted from ductile steel for maximum strength and resistance.
It comes with a stainless steel lock face incorporating a shuttered
keyway. Powdered-coated in Safety Orange for high visibility. This
kingpin lock has a nylon woven ribbon making it stand out even more!
The Steel-Tuff Glad Hand Lock is all-metal and is attached to the
emergency brake connection of the semi-trailer.
This device combines the traditional glad hand lock design with
all-steel construction. An all metal body and lock replaces the typical
plastic body fabrication. You won't find a more heavy duty gladhand
lock anywhere...find out how solid it is and order today!
