Proven industries lock does not fit
I brought the trailer back from the dealership to the storage lot on Saturday. Once I dropped the trailer at the storage yard I went to fit the 2516-J model proven industries lock on the coupler. The lock however did not fit over the coupler, it turns out the flange on my coupler is too large. I have contacted the company they are willing to take the lock back for a refund, but they also mentioned that sometimes owners have had to grind the flange of the coupler to make the lock fit. The problem for me is that the trailer is new and I am unsure of the effect of grinding some of the flange off would have on the warranty for the frame. If the trailer was older then I would just grind it down to fit.
Anyway does anyone here know what effect having the flange grinded down to fit the lock would have on the warranty, I would like to have a lock but am not sure it would be worth it for a cheaper lock. I am most likely to err on the side of caution here.
Awaiting all the 2 cents.
Thanks
