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. Powder
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 is the original steel body glad hand lock.
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!

We work hard at earning your continued business. We like to hear these kind of
comments with each order placed:
"We are very pleased with the product. The locks have survived being run over by loaded
trucks, being buried in mud, and have come back to perform at spec."
"I used to pay around $40 for each of these locks. When I submitted a new order through
my purchasing dept they sent it back because they thought I made a typo - I told them it
wasn't a typo, that I was just tired of getting ripped off by the other guys!"
