Abysmal in every way conceivable
OK, are you going to be an idiot like me and trust your $29,000 travel trailer to a cheap Master Lock? (Or a $2,000, $5,000, etc, trailer?) DON'T DO IT!!!
This ball hitch lock is the ultimate poster child for "false security". Let me explain. I watched a ten-minute video on lock picking on YouTube. I then bought a cheap Chinese set of lock picks on Amazon ($8.00). I received the lock picks today, and decided to see if a totally inexperienced "thief" could remove this lock from my trailer hitch. So I went to work: It took me, at first, 60 SECONDS to open this lock, but after the tenth time I got it down to about FIVE SECONDS. Me, with ZERO experience. Imagine some scumbag who actually took the time and spent an hour or two at home practicing opening locks; it would almost be faster to pick than to use the damn key. What a joke.
I won't even go into its brittle, pot-metal construction, and its ability to be easily broken off by a simple hammer...
