New product to lock trailers from the inside:

LockIN Security

$1300/per door?

Looks like $1300 for the system (capable of operating up to 4 doors) and one door, $700 for each additional door.

That is why I have Rosie the Pitbull and she was free at the animal shelter in Manchester.

I can see some moron dragging the trailer away with the tires smoking...

I saw the thing in person...it is really quite impressive. If you have ever had a trailer with anything of value in it....you know the risk. And insurance won't cover it.

this truly looks THE solution to trailer safety. Thanks for posting...I'm going to get one when I can afford it

What can you say. Take a $200 problem to aircraft engineers and they over engineer it by a grand. Clever though but I couldn't sell it.

Not sure I understand the $200 problem, but I spoke with the guys at LockIn and they are offering a $300 discount for you all.

OK, so my trailer has 3 doors:
1 rear ramp
1 side door
1 driver's side escape door

So that would be $1300 + $700 + $700 + $installation/tax/shipping.....say $3000

I'm just having trouble with this one I guess.

Good question, I was just posting FYI. Seriously you should contact them to get your question answered. From what I saw, it would be 1000 + 600. I don't know what a drivers side escape door is. Does it open like a swing or ramp door?

ltc

Driver's side escape door makes it MUCH easier to get in/out of a car (especially with a cage) with an enclosed trailer. It swings open like a normal door.

Here's a pic of my trailer's driver side escape door:

Nice trailer...it looks to me as though that door would not need the Lockin security equipment, just the rear and side? Anyway I really don't know sh*t about it, like I said I saw it and thought it was quite a good idea and given the value of how much some folks put in there...the cost would be minimal

IMHO, a door is a door (they all use the same hinges and latches)....of course rear ramps are different.

If somebody really wants your trailer or it's stuff, they will consider a trailer to be basically a rectangular aluminum soft drink can. It is very easy to get inside a trailer with an 18V sawzall, trust me. Once inside, it is fairly simple to disable anything installed for electronic alarms.

However, it does appear to be a well thought out system for 'normal' trailer theft conditions

There was a trailer theft at a kart event (lots of trailers get stolen at karting events for some reason) where the trailer wheels were put on 'dollies' and simply driven away.
