Demco EZ-Latch Lever Replacement
At Bullet Proof Diesel, we believe plastic has its place but not when it comes to towing equipment you depend on every day. If you've ever dealt with a broken Demco EZ-Latch composite lever, you already know the frustration. Whether you're hauling equipment, towing a trailer, or heading out on the open road, you need components you can count on especially under pressure.
That’s why we engineered a direct billet aluminum replacement for the Demco Composite EZ-Latch Lever built to outlast, outperform, and outclass the original plastic version. This post explains what the lever does, the problems with the OEM plastic composite, and why upgrading to our billet replacement just makes sense.
What Is the Demco EZ-Latch Lever and Why Does It Matter?
The EZ-Latch Lever is a critical part of Demco’s trailer coupler system. It engages and disengages the ball lock mechanism, ensuring your trailer stays hitched securely. Over time or sometimes suddenly OEM composite plastic levers are known to fatigue, crack, or snap entirely.
And when that happens? You're stuck. Possibly in the middle of a tow.
That’s not acceptable in our book, and it’s why we decided to solve the problem the Bullet Proof Diesel way with American-made strength and reliability.
The Problem with Composite Levers
Demco’s composite levers are designed to be lightweight and cost-effective. But cost-saving materials often come at the expense of durability:
- Heat + UV exposure = plastic degradation
- Heavy towing = fatigue and flex over time
- Cold temperatures = risk of snapping under stress
- Repetitive use = premature wear
And when that plastic breaks? You’re dealing with downtime, safety concerns, and unexpected replacements.
At Bullet Proof Diesel, we’ve had enough of plastic parts failing where strength matters most.
Why Upgrade to a Billet Replacement?
We designed our billet aluminum replacement lever to be the permanent solution to an ongoing problem.
