McGard 74041 Chrome Cone Seat Trailer Wheel Locks
McGard 74041 earns a best-in-class reputation for horse trailer lug security due to its hardened steel construction, precision-machined conical seat, and patented key code system that resists common drilling and key-guessing attacks. Although typically priced higher than the other lug-lock options on this list, its proven corrosion resistance and lifetime warranty make it a cost-effective choice for owners who prioritize long-term protection over upfront savings compared with budget kits like DPAccessories or mid-range White Knight. Compared with the Trimax TCP100 (a chock-focused security product), McGard remains the go-to for direct wheel nut theft prevention on trailers.

Gorilla Automotive 61681 Acorn Guard Locks
Gorilla Automotive 61681 Acorn Guard Locks position themselves as the market-conscious choice by combining solid steel construction with an acorn-style guard that protects the locking head from tampering and dirt. They typically undercut premium brands on price while delivering better-built security than the cheapest aftermarket kits, making them attractive for owners who want a balance of cost and robustness for a horse trailer, though they usually lack McGard's proprietary key control and warranty coverage. Compared to the Trimax TCP100, Gorilla locks focus on wheel nut theft deterrence rather than immobilization or chock security.

DPAccessories LCB3L2HC-CH04LK23 Chrome Wheel Locks
DPAccessories LCB3L2HC-CH04LK23 offers an economical full-set chrome wheel lock kit that is tailored for buyers outfitting multiple trailers or replacing entire lug sets on a budget; its primary advantage is low upfront cost and wide availability. While not as hardened or key-controlled as McGard and lacking some of the protective features found on Gorilla or White Knight, it represents a sensible financial option for fleets or occasional-use trailers where replacing units is less costly than investing in premium, lifetime-guaranteed locks. As with other lug-nut products here, it addresses direct wheel theft differently than the Trimax TCP100 chock lock, which complements lug locks rather than replaces them.

White Knight 5307WK Chrome Cone Seat Wheel Locks
White Knight 5307WK is a reliable mid-range chrome cone-seat wheel lock that emphasizes ease of installation and a clean appearance suited to horse trailers where aesthetics matter alongside security. It typically sits between premium McGard units and budget DPAccessories kits on both price and materials, offering respectable corrosion protection and a serviceable key system without the higher-end key-control programs of market leaders. Compared with the Trimax TCP100, White Knight remains focused on preventing wheel removal rather than immobilizing the trailer, so many owners pair it with a chock lock for layered security.

Trimax TCP100 Wheel Chock Lock
Trimax TCP100 Wheel Chock Lock differs from the lug nut products by securing the chock and thereby preventing trailer movement and wheel theft through immobilization rather than guarding individual lug nuts. Its technical advantage is a complementary layer of security—especially useful for horse trailers left unattended at shows or trailheads—often at a lower price point than replacing all lug locks and with the benefit of stopping wheel removal attempts regardless of the lug-lock brand used. For comprehensive trailer protection, Trimax is best used alongside lug nut locks like McGard, Gorilla, or White Knight rather than as a direct substitute.
