Hi all,

what do you use to secure/lock the safety chain (the chain you're
supposed to cross from the hitch to the trailer)? thanks

Just picked up a new custom made trailer today and what a treat.
The extra heavy chain is attached to two good sized hooks...the kind
with the spring loaded closer. I just have to 'snap' then onto the steel
loups which are part of my hitch receiver.

Tho old trailer (1986 model) has a system where you feed the chain ends
through the loups and then feed the s hook through one link and slip
another link over the end of the hook. Always much harder to release
than hook-up.
