Trimax TWL100 Ultra-Max Adjustable Wheel Lock
The Trimax TWL100 Ultra-Max Adjustable Wheel Lock is positioned as a best-in-class solution for horse trailer wheel security because its heavy-gauge, adjustable design covers a wide range of wheel widths and tire profiles common on horse trailers, offering a cost-effective balance of strength and fit. Compared with other items on this list it provides superior adjustability and quick clamp-on installation versus fixed-size locks like the Proven 2516, and it undercuts premium stainless options like the McGard on price while still delivering robust theft deterrence for trailer owners.

Proven Industries Model 2516 Wheel Lock
The Proven Industries Model 2516 Wheel Lock earns a market-leader reputation for industrial-strength construction and a heavy-duty locking mechanism tailored for commercial and high-use horse trailers, trading a higher upfront cost for long-term durability. Compared with the lighter BAL X-Chock stabilizer and the universal Reese coupler lock, the 2516 focuses specifically on wheel immobilization and offers a more rugged, welded build that many professional haulers prefer for frequent use.

BAL X-Chock Wheel Stabilizer Lock
The BAL X-Chock Wheel Stabilizer Lock stands out as a practical, affordable stabilizing approach for horse trailer wheel control—it clamps and braces the wheel to reduce sway and movement while acting as a theft deterrent. While not as heavy-duty against determined thieves as Proven or Trimax wheel locks, the X-Chock is lighter, easier to stow and quick to deploy, making it a smart, lower-cost complement to coupler locks like the Reese or premium wheel locks for owners prioritizing stability and convenience.

Reese Towpower Universal Coupler Lock
The Reese Towpower Universal Coupler Lock is a budget-friendly, widely compatible anti-theft accessory that secures the trailer hitch rather than the wheel, making it an attractive, low-cost first line of defense for horse trailer owners. It compares favorably on price and ease of use against wheel-specific locks in this list, but should be paired with a dedicated wheel cover or wheel lock (Trimax, Proven or McGard) for comprehensive protection of both hitch and wheels.
