Shop Caravan Hitch Locks
A caravan hitch lock is one of the simplest ways to add security to your setup when you are parked up or away from your vehicle. Hitch locks work by securing the coupling point so the caravan cannot be hitched to another vehicle without the key. This collection includes hitchlocks, locking pins and pintle locks from several brands.
Types of Caravan Hitch Locks
There are several styles of hitch lock depending on your coupling type:
- Hitchlocks like the Purpleline Saracen fit over the coupling head and physically block access
- Locking pins replace the standard pin in a DO35 or DO45 coupling with a keyed version
- Pintle locks secure the pintle hook on the tow vehicle side
The right choice depends on what coupling system you are running. If you are after broader security options like wheel clamps, have a look at our caravan security locks and wheel clamps collection. For everything related to your coupling setup, our tow hitches range has the full picture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a hitch lock fit my coupling type?
It depends on the coupling. Purpleline Saracen hitchlocks are designed for DO35-style couplings. Cruisemaster locking pins fit DO35 and DO45 couplings specifically. Gen Y locks suit Gen Y receiver hitches. Check the product description for compatibility details.
Can I use a hitch lock and a wheel clamp together?
Yes. A hitch lock secures the coupling while a wheel clamp prevents the caravan from being towed or rolled. Using both provides a visible deterrent.
Are hitch locks difficult to install?
No. Most hitch locks are designed for tool-free installation. Locking pins replace your existing pin, and hitchlocks clip or bolt over the coupling head.
