Expert Answers about BOLT Locks

• Can You Re-key BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock

• Can the Ends of the Rackem Magnum Wheel Lock be Cut with Bolt Cutters
• I pulled the Rack em Magnum Wheel Lock, # RA-25, and found that it measured 1 inch x 7/8 of an inch at its narrowest point at the end of the arms. It would be difficult for a thief to use bolt cutters to cut through the arms of this wheel lock and if they did manage to do so, cutting near the ends of the arms will most likely not be enough to actually remove the lock from the wheel. They would have to cut through a thicker section to remove the lock. One thing to remember is that locks...

• Can BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Locks Be Re-Keyed or Have a New Key Cut to Use Them

They cannot be re-coded or re-keyed, the locks will only work with the original vehicle/key. Unfortunately, you would need to get new locks that are compatible with your new vehicle.

• Is There a Locking Threaded Hitch Pin Available to Holt the Receiver in the EcoHitch 306-X7365?
• With the bolt in question being 5/8-11 by 4 inches long, we do not have a threaded locking pin available. However, you could drill a 1/4" hole in the threaded end of the bolt and then use the Tow Ready Trailer Coupler Lock # 3008 in the drilled hole. This isn't the most elegant solution, but will work.

• Purpose of Nut and Bolt on Front of Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch
• I'm unsure of which bolt and lock nut you're speaking of. If you're speaking of the bolt directly under where the king pin would ender the head of the hitch, that bolt is used to join the fifth wheel's head to the leg cross member. Please let me know if you're talking about a different bolt.

• Does Thule Snug Tite Lock Make a Lot of Noise when Driving
• The lock part of the Snug Tite lock # THSTL2 can move around, this is true, but the likelihood of being able to hear it while in a moving vehicle is slim to none. It just doesn't have enough mass to make enough noise to be noticeable especially in a moving vehicle and even with the windows down. The friction between the vehicle tires and the road creates much more noise than the lock ever could. So no worries!

• Can Removable Receiver for EcoHitch 306-X7201 Be Locked to Vehicle
• The Infinite Rule # 34061071-D lock can be used to secure a hitch mounted accessory into the removable receiver used by the # 306-X7201, but to secure the removable receiver to the hitch itself, the threaded bolt included with the hitch must be used. EcoHitch doesn't offer a locking pin for the removable receiver. EcoHitch recommends removing the receiver when it's not being used. I've linked to the installation video you'd mentioned.

• Is There a Lock Pin to Replace Upright Bolt on Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack
• The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack part # HR1000Z does have locks, for both the bikes and hitch but it's not a Brinks truck either. If a thief has the time and right tools he will get the rack and your bikes. There isn't a way to make the rack completely theft proof unfortunately. That said, to answer your specific question, no, there isn't a lock designed to replace that bolt and yes, if someone had enough time and knew enough about the rack they could remove the upright and your...

• Does the Thule Helium 3-bike Prevent Theft at Tilt-Down Bolt?
• There is nothing that prevents someone from unbolting the bolt at the tilt-down bolt feature from the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH9043PRO. The locking cable is a huge deterrent for a would-be thief, and the thief would have to have a lot of time in order to unbolt the rack from the tilting point. If there is still worry about the security of the tilt-down bolt, I recommend unbolting the rack and stowing it safely in your vehicle when not in use. With clearance or access to the tightening...

• How To Secure Pivot Bolt on Thule Parkway 4 Against Theft
• The bolt you mentioned is not meant to be secured by a lock. If you wish, you could use thread locker like Loctite # LT37420 to make the bolt more difficult to remove. The fact that two wrenches would be needed to remove the bolt should be sufficient deterrent for all but the most determined thief. Using a cable lock like # TH538XT ran through the loop on the shank or through the safety chain loop on your hitch should secure the bikes as well as the upper portion of the bike rack.

• Securing Steel Coupler To Aluminum Car Hauler Trailer Tongue To Prevent Theft
• Thanks for the photo of your trailer coupler. That really helps explain what you are asking about. I spoke with a couple of other Experts and we may have a couple options you can consider. One way to go is to use Loctite Threadlocker 262, part # LT37420 on the coupler bolt threads. This is put on the threads when bolting the coupler to the trailer tongue and becomes impossible to remove with hand tools without heating it up to 500F degrees to free the parts for disassembling. That would...

• How to Secure Removable Cargo Box from Rola Tilting Enclosed Cargo Carrier
• The Rola Tilting Enclosed Cargo Carrier # 59109 that you referenced does come with locks to secure both the lid of the cargo box and to secure the box to the tray portion (using the same key) but it does not have a built-in facility to allow the box portion to be locked to a stationary object such as a tree at your campsite. I checked with my contact at Rola and confirmed that no optional lock kit is offered for this item for that particular application. However, it is certainly possible...

• Is Hitch Lock Included w/ Hollywood Racks Hitch and Cable Lock # HRLHPTC An Anti-Rattle Lock
• The # HRLHPTC we offer is our part number for the Hollywood Racks LHPTC. It is the same exact item. The hitch lock offered with the # HRLHPTC is indeed an anti-rattle lock, as indicated by the threaded portion of the hitch bolt. The threaded portion is designed to engage a threaded nut or sleeve inside the shank of certain Hollywood Racks hitch mounted bike racks. When the threaded bolt is drawn down, it pulls the shank of the bike rack tightly up against the inside of the receiver tube...

• Are Set Screw Holes Required to Be Drilled To Hold The B&W Extend-A-Goose Coupler?
• The B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 should not be drilled into. The coupler sleeve is required to either have 2 set bolts or 1 set bolt if you have a safety through pin to secure it in place on your tube sleeve. A Master Lock Laminated Steel Padlock # ML1KA can be used to secure the coupler when attached to your tow vehicle. And if you choose to have multiple locks keyed alike you can use them all to secure any locks on trailer as well to have a one key system of locks.
