Meyer Distributing announced a partnership with Virginia-based Altor Locks to offer the ICON Trailer Lock to its retail and wholesale customer base.
In a press release, Ben Johnson, category sales manager of RV Towing & Marine for Meyer Distributing, expressed satisfaction with the ICON coupler lock.
“Meyer is pleased to be supplying one of the strongest coupler locks in the industry. After getting a hands-on look at the ICON coupler lock, we were immediately convinced this was a product we needed to partner with. The quality and security is evident once you get your hands on it,” Johnson said.
Altor’s innovation in lock design is underscored by its recent U.S. Patent 11,766,905B2, for a lock engineered to withstand tools typically used in theft attempts, such as angle grinders, drills, and lock picks. The ICON’s durability was showcased when it resisted an angle grinder attack for over 90 minutes.
The ICON Trailer Lock is manufactured from over 20 pounds of high-grade cast steel, hardened to 450 Brinell. This hard steel composition makes the ICON far more resistant than conventional locks, often made from softer, low-carbon steel. Additionally, the lock features a radial fin design, a disc-detainer lock core, and extreme weather-resistant seals.
Larry Thomas, chief revenue officer at Altor Locks, praised Meyer. Meyer’s strong work ethic, focus on customer service, technology, and a wide array of products have made them a trusted partner for automotive aftermarket wholesalers and retailers for 40 years. We look forward to working with this industry leader,” Thomas said.
Altor Locks redefines physical security with solutions designed to outperform traditional locks. Co-founded by Karen Schaufeld and Dylan Cato at Lehigh University, the trailer lock products are designed with premium materials, technology, and design, achieving a level of security unmatched by traditional lock manufacturers.
With a network of warehousing facilities, Meyer serves thousands of customers using its direct shipping service, Meyer Logistics.
