New DuraSafe Coupler Connect™
Aligns Trailers Easily, Helps Prevent Accidental Uncoupling

NEW BERLIN, WISCONSIN - DuraSafe has launched Coupler Connect™, an easy-to-use trailer alignment device that also offers optional protection against accidental trailer uncoupling.

DuraSafe Coupler Connect

DuraSafe Coupler Connect™

Patent-Pending Coupler Connect™ eliminates the problems many people have with trying to hook up a trailer by locating the trailer coupling directly over the ball without the need of assistance – and prevents damage to the tow vehicle. A unique mounting bracket (fits standard 1” diameter ball shanks) accommodates a wide range of couplers and ball mounts and allows for maximum turning radius. Installs easily in minutes. Made in the USA of strong, zinc-plated steel. MSRP $39.99.

DuraSafe Coupler Connect plus Protect

DuraSafe Coupler Connect™ plus Protect

Patent-Pending Coupler Connect™ plus Protect offers the same advantages as the Coupler Connect but also includes a separate, universal-fit hold down device that prevents the coupler from accidentally popping off the tow ball during travel. 1.) Use the guide plate accessory to align the coupler directly over the tow ball for easy hookup. 2.) Remove the guide plate and insert the protective hold down accessory to help prevent the coupler from accidentally popping off the tow ball during travel. The guide plate can also be used to secure the trailer to the tow vehicle when a padlock is used. MSRP $54.99.

DuraSafe web site www.durasafelocks.com

Founded in 2003, the family-owned company has experienced triple-digit growth in the past three years.

We think it’s important for our trade customers and consumers to know all this,” she added.

For example, in April, DuraSafe introduced the Universal Electronics Lock, which secures bracket-mounted electronics. The compact and rugged, but inexpensive lock – MSRP is just $19.99 - replaces one of the bracket knobs and secures the unit to the bracket. One size (one SKU) fits GPS, fish finders and VHF radios made by virtually every manufacturer.
