Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a look at this Yakima HitchLock for the Yakima hitch mounted bike racks. This HitchLock is going to lock and secure your Yakima hitch mounted bike carrier to your vehicle's hitch receiver, ensuring the safety of your gear. Now, this is going to work with any Yakima hitch mounted bike carrier. And this will simply attach to the end of your existing Yakima hitch pin.
And I happen to have a Yakima hitch pin right here. So, this is gonna be very simple to use. You're just going to push the lock over the end of the pin until it clicks as you just heard there and then it is in place. And then to remove, you're just going to take one of the included keys and you are gonna get two keys. And just insert the key into the lock, give it a quarter of a turn, and it will slide right off.
Now, this lock includes Yakima's Same Key System or SKS locking core and as I mentioned, two keys. And what's nice about these SKS cores is they can be changed out and keyed alike with your other Yakima locks. This also has, as you can see, an attached dust cap and that is going to help keep the dirt and debris out of your lock. And this does have a lifetime warranty. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today.
I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

Easy to use, compact size.
Simple, easy, and secure. Kathy and I use all Yakima bike products and they’re just terrific. I received it today and it’s already on the car.
This is a replacement for a lost lock. etrailer’s shipping was absolutely top notch. I actually lost the lock while on vacation and was able to replace it before returning because etrailer did such a great job.
I've used this lock on my old bike rack for many years. I have a new rack and will continue to use this product. It works well. Realistically, just a deterrent - but it helps. Love the etrailer.com site!
Just what I needed living here in an urban area. The lock will help prevent any theft.
etrailer was easy to work with and would recommend to others.

Still good after a year in the bitter and hot elements of the seasons in this Philly urban area. Had to take it off to remove the hitch for placement on another car. Sprayed the lock with WD-40 silicon to protect against the elements. Reconnected easily and works as described. Recommend to all who need a lock.
Exactly as described on site, and delivered a day earlier than expected (which was fast already). Had to replace the lock I lost and this was an exact match. Except this one has an attached key lock dust cover which is an improvement. I’ve ordered large items and small items (like this one) from etrailer and always been very satisfied with the experience and support where needed.
This has been the perfect fit for my bike rack. It gives me a great sense of security and the design is the right size. Would definitely recommend this product!
David at Yakima did a great job of solving my locks and keys problem. The solutions were efficient and covered under warranty. I was VERY satisfied with the excellent service from Yakima. TheYakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ 2 Enclosed Cargo Carriers that I bought through etrailer has proven to be an excellent addition to my Mercedes Sprinter van. Easy installation and use. The lockers keep everything nice and dry.

Beautifully. No complaints.
Perfect for my yakima bike rack, Fast shipping too!
Great OEM product and excellent service by eTrailer. Very speedy process from order to shipping, great customer service. I’ll be a return customer.
Exactly what I needed to get my hangover 6 back up and running! Thank you!
The lock rubber cap doesn't fit well. I put tape over the lock opening to keep stuff out.
I bought this as a replacement for one I lost. It's exactly the same and works perfectly. The delivery was also very timely.
The Yakima HitchLock for my Yakima Bike Rack is exactly what I needed. It is easy to use. Now I don't have to worry about my hitch getting stolen. I appreciate that two keys came with it, so I can keep one safe at home if I were ever to misplace one.
I received this hitchlock today. It fits my Yakima hitch fine and will provide the additional security for the hitch that I was looking for.
A great part of this transaction was the customer service. I have ordered things from etrailer before and the customer service is consistently exceptional. From the time I placed the order to the day I received it I was kept up-to-date on the status. etrailer is a pleasure to work with.

The lock works fine. The only problem is that the plastic lock cap and attachment are hard plastic and not flexible enough to actually get the cover onto the lock face. So, I have never used it with the cap on.
Exact device to replace my old one and arrived very quickly and as ordered. My bike rack lock was damaged when it fell off a moving car ( We forgot we had placed it on the car between the hood and the windshield.) We found the black part but the lock part was gone. So happy to find this new part to replace the old one, it is the exact device for locking my bike rack

My lock is still working perfectly after a year. Highly recommend this company.
easy to use and works great so far. only reason for 4 stars, the cover kept popping off. It just seems a bit stiff or short on the strap to stay on. may after breaking it in, it will do better.
Awesome product! Was skeptical as we have older model hitch bike rack. Will provide peace of mind to leave locked bikes on rack as we travel.
Perfect, works exactly as expected. ET is great
Great costumer service kind and polite people. Item quality as describe and a really good price.
Good delivery time. Product works as intended. Just a heads up, if you were looking to match this lock with a current Kieu old, please make sure to watch the set up videos so you order correctly. It’s not a problem that I have to use two keys, but I made the mistake of not knowing how to order properly.

The hitch lock has been great! I had one already and the “set up” to match the key was easy enough and painless. You gotta have one for a little piece of mind.
The cap to protect the key hole from rain and dirt doesn’t stay on at all.
I have been looking hitch pin lock for my Yakima bike rack but I couldn’t find anything thing fit perfectly. Then I find this Yakima hitch lock from etrailer. It’s right size and easy to use.
Lock works perfectly for my Yakima long arm extended bed for my pickup when leaving my pickup when I’m out on the water with my kayak . Ordering was a piece of cake and delivery was only a week . Very happy with my purchase. Would definitely do business with etrailer again ….
The lock does exactly what it is supposed to do. Buying from etrailer was a great experience. When I ordered the lock I was notified it was on backorder. The customer service team kept me updated on when it was going to be back in stock and when it was being shipped. Then they followed up when it was going to be shipped. This was my first experience buying from them, I will order from them again. Thanks for the great customer service.
