I’ve lost my lock out key for the trailer. Does anyone know where I can get another one or the magnetic one that attaches to the trailer? Thanks

This is the one I use on my EZ Loader and it works great.
Them that don't know him won't like him. And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him.

If you hook up your back up lights to the plug (usually center pin) when they go on it turns the surge brake off via a solenoid on most.
I learned with my ford raptor (f150) that if tow haul was on then the brake didnt go to lock out in reverse. If tow haul is off it works as it should.
Just a fyi.
