Lock works great to secure my bike rack.



by:

Fits a Tesla Model Y to mount a Thule bike rack.



by:

Unfortunately the screw bolt did not fit into the 1.25 hitch receiver and was unable to thread the bolt. However, I was able to use the other Kuat transfer bike rack bolt instead.

It is not typical hay that the lock would not fit. It is that it was too short? Do you have an OEM hitch? If so, what is the year, make, and model of your vehicle.



by:

High quality materials and construction. I did not purchase this item for the specified bike rack. However, the pin is the only one I could find of the right diameter for my application. It looks like it will work just fine. Thank you.



by:

I have a Tesla model Y and a Thule bike rack. The problem is the Thule anti rattle lock is too long, I can't place the lock on the pin because the wiring harness plug blocks access. And the Thule lock key hole is in line with the pin so you need like 6-8 inches of clearance past the pin to actually be able to lock and unlock it.

This kits lock fits perfect on the Thule pin and since the lock is at 90 degrees, I can use it with my model Y hitch.

This kits pin also seems to fit the Thule rack. But this kits pin is a bit thinner than Thule. So weirdly enough this kits lock seems to fit better on the Thule pin since it doesn't wiggle around as much as it does on its included pin.

Also a nice plus, it comes with 3 keys.



by:

Exactly as advertised. Arrived on time.



by:

Nothing wrong with the part but Don't expect an Amazon level of customer service if you need to return something. I've always had good luck with etrailer until now. I ordered this part based on information I had and the product description. Unfortunately it doesn't fit what I need. When I initiate the return process they inform me they want as much to ship it back as the part is worth. Never again.

Just like Pictured---works as it should. No issues. Quality Product

performing as expectedflawlesslyWe are on the sand here in Fla and to my surprise-its not rusting!everything else is tho



by:

It’s high quality product and it’s fit to my Tesla y , highly recommended.thanks



by:

This lock should help a little, but it isn’t a high security device. It locks onto the end of the pin somewhat loosely, and a motivated thief could probably defeat it without too much trouble. I would buy this again.



by:

product is as advertised. works perfectly. etrailer.com has made my hitch, and rack needs so easy to figure out. thank you.



by:

Fit perfectly!



by:

VERY IMPRESSED WIHT QUALITY OFKUAT BIKE RACK the rack was shipped very promptly



by:

Fits Rola racks with m12x1.75. Nicer than the original Rola as well.



by:

The lock was the prefect figment for my hitch/receiver.



by:

Not really sure how to rate this. The pin and other hardware that comes with it is identical to what came with my Transfer 2 carrier, so I'd think they could simply sell the lock by itself. It's well made, and the cover fits tightly so it should do a good job of keeping dirt out of the locking mechanism. It does fit very loosely, but I can't hear any rattling while driving.

The lock has been great. I dont use it regularly, but have been on several trips and it performed flawlessly. Still looks brand new, and operates perfectly, even after two long trips that involved very heavy rain for many miles.



by:

The lock for bike hitch is well made, easy to lock and unlock from pin and has a sturdy dirt cover to protect the key mechanism. This is another excellent item among the many I have ordered from etrailer . Very happy with the products they offer, the info, and mailing/handling of items.

Very happy with this lockpin and lock setup. After a year of use and several long trips, dirt cover does a great job keeping water, mud, dirt away from key



by:

Excellent product. Easy to install and remove from my bike rack/hitch. Gave it a good test on vacation to Nova Scotia. Logged over 2000 miles on the car with the bike rack installed using the locking bolt and all was perfect.

Bob R.

What can I say. Another year gone by and the bike rack still performing perfectly.I am very happy with this product. Would definitely recommend to others.



by:

This works well. It would have been better if it was keyed the same as the rest of the Kuat rack



by:

Excellent customer service!

Nice
quality lock to securely fasten the Kuat Transfer to your hitch. The shipping was fast and had a nice customer service follow up from e-trailer after the package arrived. I will absolutely do business with them again!

The lock works great and is very smooth and simple to use. However the sealing cover broke afetr only a few uses but thats no big deal and I would buy again. Thanks etrailer!



by:

It is loose on the hitch, potentially bouncing up and down to make rattling noise. Had to improvise temporary solution to stop the metal hitting metal. Otherwise a good tool to lock.

Sevki

Good. Solved the rattling problem at the base with some sticky foam wrap



by:

This rack is the business, we have transported road racing bikes for years, but dirty mud covered mtb bikes are a different problem. This rack allows us to ride and rack our mud covered bikes without any handling issues, wheel removal or concern about damaging the frame/paintwork as the hitch only makes contact with the wheels. Does not matter if we are riding our 26” bikes, our 27.5”s or the fat tired bikes no adjustment no resetting just lift and load could not be easier as a wise person once told (the wife) the rack was worth every penny.



by:

The Kuat trailer hitch lock is a nice compliment to my Kuat bike carrier. It works flawlessly and prevents the bike rack from rattling. The rubber keyhole cover prevents dirt and road grime from getting into the keyhole. I feel confident that my investment in a topnotch bike carrier and TREK bicycles are secure with the Kuat trailer hitch lock.



by:

Everything was awesome!!



by:

Assembly was very easy as the assembly design is well-thought out, requires only the included allen wrench. Fits well on my 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe with our road bikes and also easily accomodates grandkids 20" and 24" wheel bikes. My car hitch has two holes for hitch pins and the smaller one was what the Kuat hitch pin/screw fit into. Very happy that the screw holds rack tight to the hitch since my other rack sways a lot on corners and uneven roads. Rack is also easy to take on/off car as I intend to take it off between uses. Extremely pleased with purchase.

  • Which Hitch Lock Can Be Used on Kuat Sherpa for 2" Receivers
    I may have a solution for you, but the Kuat Transfer had a threaded hitch pin hole that makes it compatible with the # HLT; this was not present in the shank on your Kuat Sherpa # SH22G. You could use a hitch lock like the ## HL2, but it would not provide any real anti-rattle prevention, but would provide a way to secure your rack to the vehicle. It should be noted that when you use a hitch adapter like the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # HTAD this does reduce...

  • What Locking Hitch Pin Do I Need to Lock My Kuat Hi Lo Adapter # HL20B to My Vehicle?
    The Kuat Hi Lo adapter part # HL20B has a threaded hitch pin design where it installs into the vehicle hitch, so a Kuat hitch lock like the part # HLT would securely lock the adapter to the vehicle hitch.

  • Lock For Original Kuat Transfer Bike Rack
    There is an option for a hitch lock for the original (manufactured before 2021) Kuat Transfer bike rack that you can use other than the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT. The other option is a cable and hitch lock combination, with the hitch lock securing to the Transfer's existing hitch pin, and there is an option for 2 cable locks and a hitch lock, or 1 cable lock and a hitch lock: - 1 Cable Lock: Cable Lock and Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer # # ATSCLK11011 -...

  • Hitch Extender to Provide More Clearance at Lock on Swagman Bike Rack
    With bike rack pins and locks the fits are usually product specific, or they are at least brand specific. It is very rare for a lock from one brand of bike rack to match the threads in the shank from another brand. The Kuat part # HLT you mentioned is intended for certain specific Kuat bike rack models that are listed on that item's page. You could install a short hitch extender like # HE06 to give you easier access to the rack's pin but please note that use of such extenders does reduce...

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch for a Reese Bike Rack

  • Will Etrailer Threaded Hitch Pin Fit Kuat Accessories?
    Kuat accessories, such as the Kuat Hi-Lo Hitch Extender - 2" Hitches - 7" or 10" Extension - 2-1/8" Rise/Drop # HL20B, use Kuat-specific threading for their threaded anti-rattle bolts. Kuat was not able to tell me the size of their brand-specific threading. The etrailer threaded hitch pin won't work; the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HLT is going to be your best bet as this is the only confirmed fit for a locking threaded hitch pin for the...

  • Lock Recommendation to Convert Hitch Pin of Yakima Bike Rack to Locking
    All you need to convert the threaded hitch pin of your Yakima bike rack to a locking hitch pin is the HitchLock part # Y07235 actually. This snaps onto the end of your hitch pin and its locked. We can't recommend using a different brand of hitch lock with your Yakima rack.

  • Hitch Lock that Fits ROLA 59502 Vortex Steel Cargo Carrier
    While we no longer carry the Rola cargo carrier 59502 that you have we do know that the HitchMate Locking Hitch Pin part # HE6001 does have the correct thread size for the carrier and would be your best option. We called Rola and asked them which lock would work and they told us this was only option they were aware of at the time.

  • Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for Kuat Transfer
    For your Kuat Transfer TS02B the anti-rattle device/hitch lock you'd want is the part # HLT. This replaces the hitch pin you have with a threaded one that holds the hitch tight to the hitch tube and also locks it there. A u-bolt style of anti-rattle device would not be your best option.

  • Does Kuat Transfer Hitch Lock and Cable Lock Kit # PTSCLK12 Come with Same Kuat Lock Core HLT-014
    Yes, the lock core that comes with the Cable Locks and Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Rack # PTSCLK12 is the same lock core that comes with the # HLT. If you have a Kuat Transfer TS02G this kit will allow you to lock the rack to the hitch and the bikes to the rack.

  • Does Kuat Bike Rack Lock HLT Fit Kuat NV12G
    The Kuat NV # NV12G that you have has an anti-rattle device built into main tube of the rack. There's a handle underneath the main assembly of the rack that when you tighten pushes a wedge out into the hitch tube to hold it tight and prevent movement. That's why there aren't any threads in the shank of the rack of the rack for the # HLT to attach to. It can fit into the shank of the rack like you found but it won't offer an advantage over the hitch lock that came with your rack. This fits...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Step-Thru Electric Bike on 2013 Chevy Volt
    None of the trunk-mounted bike racks that fit your 2013 Chevy Volt will allow you to open the trunk with the rack on. Each would also require you to use an adapter bar - which attaches to the rack - for a bike with a step-thru frame. Additionally, trunk-mounted racks are not a good option for electric bikes because they do not have the weight capacity necessary to support an electric bike. That said, there is a way for you to avoid using an adapter bar and have access to your Volt's trunk,...

  • Can Kuat Hi-Lo 2 Hitch Extender # HL20B Be Locked to Vehicle Hitch
    The Kuat Hi Lo adapter part # HL20B has a threaded hitch pin design where it installs into the vehicle hitch, so a Kuat hitch lock like the part # HLT would fit securely lock the adapter to the vehicle hitch. Then you could use the hitch lock of your Kuat bike rack to secure it to the adapter. I attached a review video for this for you to check out too.

  • Does Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks Fit on Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The Curt trailer hitch receiver, part # C12136, is not threaded at all. The pin hole is just a hole. Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # HLT will work in the Curt hitch if you're carrying a Kuat Transfer V2 bike rack, like part # KU74FR. The hitch lock is specifically designed for the Kuat Transfer racks and is threaded to work with them on 1-1/4 and 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. If you're not carrying a Kuat Transfer then let me know what you're going to use the hitch for so I can recommend...

  • What Size Pin Is Adaptable With The Kuat 2” Adapter.
    The pin diameter of the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT is 3/8" and threads into the bike rack and not the hitch which is why it can fit either 1-1/4" or 2" hitch sizes. Included is a video resource with more information as well.

  • Can Swagman Cable Lock # S2005 Be Used with Kuat Hitch Lock on Transfer Bike Rack
    Yes, you can use the Swagman Cable Lock # S2005 with the Kuat Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # HLT on the Transfer 2 Bike Rack # KU74FR. The metal sleeve at the end of the cable will simply insert over the hitch lock and then to the bikes to help protect them from thieves.

  • Recommended Locking Hitch Pin for Kuat Transfer 2 Platform Bike Rack
    I have a solution for you, but because bike racks like your Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR have a threaded shank, you can't use a generic anti-rattle hitch pin like the # 63232. Instead, Kuat has a specific threaded hitch pin designed to work on their bike racks with the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # HL2. This anti-rattle device is compatible with your # KU84FR or similar Kuat rack. I've linked a short review video of this locking hitch pin for you to have a look at.

  • Recommended Anti Rattle Hitch Pin for a Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack
    Sun, the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT is not compatible with the Kuat Trasnfer V2 bike racks unfortunately. Instead, you'd want to use the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks # HL1, which is compatible with your V2.

  • Anti-Rattle Devise To Eliminate Play For A Yakima Double Down Bike Rack
    The Yakima DoubleDown bike rack comes with a hitch bolt when tightened should help with the play between the bike rack shank and the inside of the hitch receiver. The Yakima Double Down Bike Rack has a unique thread pattern so I will not be able to find you an alternative. The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 will be a great choice though to help with your predicament. This piece will hold the bike rack shank even tighter to the hitch receiver.

  • Usable Pin Span For Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT
    The Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT has a pin span of 3-1/2". This is going to be the distance between the washers and the edge of the lock cylinder. This is a better way of measuring the usable area since the lock cylinders may be different between your lock and this locking pin.

  • Does Kuat Replacement Lock Come With Specific Locks
    At one point, Kuat had specific lock numbers available but they have changed that recently in order to make ordering locks easier for their bike racks; due to this, specific lock numbers are not something Kuat makes available.

  • Will a Saris Hitch Pin Lock Work With a Kuat Transfer Bike Rack

The Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT is going to be the hitch pin lock that is compatible with your Kuat Transfer bike rack.
