About C.T. Johnson – The DeadBolt Lock Specialists

When it comes to protecting your trailer, RV, or tow vehicle from theft, few names carry more weight than C.T. Johnson. Operating under the well-known DeadBolt brand, C.T. Johnson has built a reputation as a go-to source for heavy-duty towing security hardware. Their products are engineered specifically for the demands of trailer and hitch protection, combining rugged materials with patented locking technology that makes unauthorized removal genuinely difficult.

C.T. Johnson's lineup is purpose-built for anyone who tows — from weekend campers pulling a small utility trailer to full-time RVers with a fifth wheel. Their locks are manufactured in the USA and are designed to withstand real-world conditions, including moisture, road grime, and determined thieves. Many models feature a patented, pickproof screw-and-lock mechanism with a 5-pin tumbler and come with two keys, offering a meaningful level of security over generic hitch pins.

A Full Range of Towing Security Products

C.T. Johnson's product range covers every critical connection point in a towing setup. Their Trailer Hitch Locks are perhaps their most recognized products, designed to replace standard hitch pins with a dead bolt-style locking pin that secures the receiver connection and resists tampering. Available in multiple classes, these locks fit common 1-1/4" and 2" receiver hitches used on trucks, SUVs, and vans.

For trailer tongue security, C.T. Johnson offers an extensive line of Coupler & Ball Mount Locks that block access to lever-style and ball-style couplers. Whether you run a standard 2" ball coupler or a heavy-duty gooseneck setup, there's a DeadBolt solution engineered to fit. These locks are especially popular among RV owners who leave their rigs parked for extended periods.

Rounding out their lineup, Wheel Locks add a visible, physical deterrent at the wheel — ideal for trailers left unattended in storage lots or campgrounds. C.T. Johnson also produces Multi Purpose Pins that serve double duty as both hitch retaining pins and locking pins, and Cable Locks for versatile, flexible security across a range of towing and storage applications.
