Electric Brakes - Are they working?

I'm new to this towing thing (58 Flying Cloud). I tried the adjustment/test on the new Tekonsha brake controller where you get a straight flat road and dial the thing up to get the brakes to lock up at low speed. Never happened. When I slide the switch all the way, I only get a slight pull-back from the trailer. Is this right? If not, how do you check the brakes to see if they are working properly?

I was told, when I bought the trailer (AS dealer) and they installed the controller, that everything had passed the safety check (for which I paid). I'm just not confident that the brakes are fully functional.
