About Blaylock American Metal

Blaylock American Metal has been a trusted name in trailer security since the 1970s, when Arnold Blaylock founded the company to serve the construction barricade light industry. Over the decades, the brand identified a growing need for high-quality, American-made aluminum products and expanded its focus — ultimately becoming one of the most respected names in trailer locks and accessories across the United States and Canada.

Purchased in 2013 by new owners, the company was rebranded as Blaylock American Metal, a name signifying potential and opportunity while maintaining its global focus and pride as a manufacturer made in the USA. Today, the brand's reputation rests on a foundation of in-house craftsmanship, rigorous quality control, and a product lineup engineered specifically to protect unattended trailers.

What Makes Blaylock Stand Out

Blaylock American Metal’s patented coupler locks and trailer accessories are designed and manufactured in-house, covered by over 20 patents — making their designs truly unique and capable of providing the highest level of security for unattended trailers.

Every product starts with aircraft-grade aluminum, skillfully crafted in-house, with Blaylock maintaining complete control of the supply chain and manufacturing process to ensure only the highest quality locks and accessories carry the Blaylock American Metal name. This end-to-end manufacturing approach means the company is able to maintain a very high service level by shipping most orders the same day they are received.

The company processes 9 tons of aluminum a week with 9 furnaces and 2 Hall tilt machines, has the ability to heat treat to T5, and maintains an in-house tool and die maker and machine shop. This industrial scale, combined with close attention to detail, is what sets Blaylock apart from mass-market competitors.

Blaylock’s Core Product Categories

Blaylock’s best-known products are their coupler and ball mount locks — a lineup engineered to deter towaway theft across virtually every trailer coupler style. Blaylock American Metal has a coupler lock to meet the unattended security needs of any style coupler , from trigger-style and latch-style couplers to gooseneck and pintle configurations. Their EZ Lock series, in particular, has earned a loyal following among tradespeople, RV owners, and commercial fleet operators alike.

Beyond locks, Blaylock offers a broad range of trailer parts and accessories built to the same demanding standards. Functional design and quality define all Blaylock American Metal trailer accessories, and like all Blaylock items, they are crafted with pride in the United States of America.

For those outfitting a full trailer setup, Blaylock also carries solutions in the tongue jacks category, rounding out a cohesive lineup that addresses both security and practical trailer operation from the hitch to the tongue.
