Hi guys - I am going to install an alarm in a box type trailer which has its own 12 volt system. I am hoping to find info on hooking up the electric brake circuit up so that the wheels will lock up on alarm activation. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks Rick

Well if the brakes are powered on the trailer, and they can be activated by holding a wire high or low, i would assume you can just hook the wire on the alarm that (generally) goes low when active to a relay to activate the brakes.
