Automotive Aftermarkets Leader Meyer Distributing Partners with Altor to Distribute the ICON Trailer Lock
May 07 2024 - 10:15AM
Altor Locks, the Virginia manufacturer with the strongest coupler
lock available on the market, and Meyer Distributing, Inc., a
leader in automotive specialty products marketing and distribution,
have partnered to make the ICON Trailer Lock available to their
Retail and Wholesale customers. Meyer chose to offer the Altor ICON
Trailer Lock because it keeps trailers safe.
“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.” said Ben Johnson, Category Sales Manager
RV Towing & Marine for Meyer Distributing.
Altor’s US Patent 11,766,905 B2 was issued in 2023 for a premium
lock specifically engineered to stand up to thieves using angle
grinders, reciprocating saws, drills, lock picks, pry bars and
hammers. Conventional locks on the market can be compromised in 120
seconds or less. The innovative ICON survived a concentrated attack
with an angle grinder, lasting more than 1 hour and 32 minutes,
using 14 blades, and eight battery packs.

The ICON Trailer Lock is made with over twenty pounds of high
quality cast steel hardened to 450 Brinell making it able to
withstand a lot of force. Common conventional locks use cheaper low
carbon steel which is more malleable and vulnerable to saw blades
and drill bits. In addition to the patented radial fin design, the
ICON features a premium disc detainer lock core, extreme weather
resistant seals and one-piece design for easy lock and go
experience.
Meyer Distributing is a leader in specialty products marketing
and distribution. Through numerous strategically positioned
warehousing facilities, Meyer serves thousands of customers
nationwide via Meyer Logistics direct ship. All Meyer associates
have but one goal: To improve their ability to offer the fastest,
most flexible and most reliable service in the industry. Their
hardworking sales staff, mix of over 700 product lines and high
fill rate provide retailers with what they need to be profitable on
a dependable, repeatable basis.
"Meyer’s strong work ethic, focus on customer service,
technology and wide array of products have made them a trusted
partner for automotive aftermarket wholesalers and retailers for 40
years,” said Larry Thomas, Chief Revenue Officer at Altor Locks.
"We look forward to working with this industry leader."
