Today we're going to be taking a look at the Fastway Re-Keying Kit for DTLBM and DTALBM Series Self-Locking Aluminum Ball Mounts, part number DTLBM02RK. This kit is perfect if you've lost your keys or your locks become damaged. It comes with everything you need to replace two locks. Both locks are keyed alike and four keys are included. Now we'll go ahead and show you how to replace them. First, we want to go ahead and remove our old lock cylinders. What we want to do is peel back the silver warning sticker right here.
There's going to be one on each lock. By peeling back the warning label we've located our set screw. We can go ahead and take our included Allen and take that on out. Now, if you've had your lock for awhile it may be a little corroded, so it's not a bad idea to go ahead and hit that with some penetrating oil and let that sit for a little bit. Let's go ahead and take it out.
Make sure it's all the way in. Now with our set screw removed, our lock cylinder should just come right on out. If you're having trouble getting it out, just go ahead and hit it with some more penetrating oil and give it a second to soak in, and just give it a tug and it should come out. Now, inside you can see our cam actuator. This is what allows our lock to operate our pin. What we'll need to do is, we'll take our new lock cylinder and we'll need to line up this portion here so it fits inside the lock actuator.
We'll also need to be sure that the indentation on top, that's what our set screw is going to go into. We'll also need to grab our new dust cap and that's going to go in the bottom indentation here. We'll put that in slightly, make sure our lock cylinder's lined up, and then we'll push them both in together just like that. Now we can take our included tool and our new set screw, and thread that in. Now, you want to be sure that your lock cylinder is pushed all the way in as far as it will go. We'll just get that started.
You also want to be sure not to over tighten. Just get it nice and snug. All this is meant to do is to hold that lock cylinder in place and prevent it from coming out. Now you want to be sure and try it out and make sure that it works. I'd say it works pretty good. Now that we know everything works, we can go ahead and take our new warning label and apply that on top. Perfect. Good as new. Now we can repeat the same process for our second lock cylinder. That's going to complete our look at the Fastway Re-Keying Kit for DTLBM and DTALBM Series Self-Locking Aluminum Ball Mounts, part number DTLBM02RK, .

Do-it-yourself lock kit lets you replace up to 2 locking cylinders in your Fastway (Diversi-Tech) ALBM or LBM series self-locking aluminum ball mounts. Both locks are keyed alike to help you cut down on the number of keys you have to carry.I purchased a vehicle with Diversi-Tech hitch and the previous owner lost the keys to it. This kit enabled me to over-come that problem, quite easily. The old re-keying kit was easy to remove, using a video that was available on etrailer.com. It only took some WD-40, an allen wrench, and this kit. Love it!
Instructions were clearly written and the rekeying procedure was straightforward. The replacement parts fit and function perfectly.
Perfect fit. Thought I was going to have to get a locksmith at 125 an hr. when the old one went bad. Googled it and etrailer.com video came up on how to fix it and the part# to do it with. Ordered the part...three days later (shipped across country) I had it fixed and towing my boat! Great company!!
Great service
Thanks!

works perfect
The item showed up on time and fit pretty good, I only had to make minor adjustments.
Arrived as advertised and the replacement Lockes are an exact fit & function match to the originals.
Very happy with the product and service.
Fast Shipping! Great customer service!
Right part on the first try. came exactly as ordered. Worked perfectly.
Someone tried to remove my hitch, really screwed up one of the key sets. Luckily it was on the ball set so i could remove it from the receiver. Was about to trash it but i emailed etrailer and received a link to the replacement key sets needed for re-keying. Followed the directions and after letting the set screws soak as directed it took about fifteen minutes to replace both key sets. I have made several purchases from etrailer, this is the first time i have had to use customer service. First rate, recommend them to everyone!!

Product is holding up great, Really great service also!!
Just as advertised and super fast shipping! New locking cylinders work like a charm.
Installed as stated. Renewed an older hitch at a reasonable price.
Excellent! We were really happy with both the kit and the customer service (while we were trying to figure out which kit we needed). Thank you, sincerely. etrailer.com will for sure be our "go to" should we need more trailer parts/solutions in the future.
Easy installation and good directions.
This was the second time I ordered the kit. Not sure what I did the first time, but the first kit fell apart the first time I used the hitch. The second time I spent more time cleaning and prepping for the repair. It seems to be much better and has been used several times.
Worked great... used this as a replacement since I lost the keys to my hitch and it was locked on the truck... was simple to replace!

Worked out great thanks!
Super friendly customer service. Fast s hipping.
I’ve had my tow hitch for a little over 6 years and recently tried to remove the hitch and ended up breaking off the key inside the camlock. Luckily I found etrailers which carried replacement locks. After following the instruction included in the package,I removed my old locks and installed the new locks. Great product!!
One set screw and lock came out just fine. The second one was rusted completely and could not remove either the set screw or the old lock. Not really sure how to proceed ???

Our Fastway representative tells me that they use a little bit of thread locking compound on those set screws, so giving the set screw a good shot of a spray penetrant like PB Blaster and letting that sit for a couple of hours is recommended. If this fails to help you remove the Allen screws, then Fastway recommends using a # 1 extractor to remove the set screw. Once the screw is removed, the lock cylinder should just fall out, if it does not, you can put one of the keys in the lock and pull the cylinder out.
I needed a special built in lock for a trailer hitch and etrailer had it. I called to confirm the fit and the individual I talked to was very knowledgeable and within a short time I received it. I highly recommend etrailer.

Their prompt service was excellent. Exactly what I was looking for.
