Today we're going to be taking a look at the replacement lock housing for the Tooly snug tight hitch lock. This unit simply replaces the lock houser for the Tooly STL2 Snug tight hitch lock and anti rattle device. It's going to include the flip up cover and it's going to include the plug. These atoms are designed to keep dirt and grime out of the lock housing. The flip up cover snaps into place so you don't have to worry about losing that or that accidentally opening. That's nice design of the unit. It snaps into place and it does require a Tooly one key system lock which is going to be sold separately and that would insert and install in this area right here. That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement lock housing for the Tooly snug tight hitch lock..

Replaces the lock housing for your Thule Snug-Tite anti-rattle receiver lock (THSTL2) or the locking hitch pin on your Thule hitch bike rack. Includes a flip-up cover and has a hole for a Thule One Key System lock (sold separately).Unfortunately the replacement hitch lock doesn’t fit the hitch pin on my bike rack.
The hitch lock you sent has a hole with a diameter just under 3/8” and the pin I have is 3/8” and will not go in.
I also tried (2) different Thule lock cylinders and they fit but will not turn.
From the parts list in my Owner’s manual, the lock is noted as “STL Hitch Lock”, Part #753-3725.
I did not see a part number close to this on the packaging that you sent me except the “STL2”.
Customer service is telling me they will need to go back to Thule for answers and if I want to return the part I have to pay the return shipping! Not a good business practice to promote repeat customers.
Lost key so ordered new lick and key set. Also ordered wxyra set of wheel straps. Everything works perfectly! Love the parts and bike rack. Plan to order other replacement parts soon, as backup.
Worked great! When I needed help with the product, Kate F. (Direct 636.747.2543) was awesome!!
The Thule bike rack from etrailer is excellent! And the customer service is too! Chelsey S. was my customer service person and she followed through and checked up all the way through. I had lost the lock off the rack but next day my husband found it in the street. Long story short had ordered it already and etrailer was wonderful taking the lock back. Did I say or if I haven't reviewed the bike rack yet I will - so easy to put on, take off myself, etc. Anyway from now on all my trailer stuff will be from this wonderful company.
Great service, prompt, easy, fast delivery, and the product itself (which was a replacement) is actually better than the part I was replacing. I have a Thule T2 classic 2" hitch rack, and the snug tight lock thing that locks the rack to the hitch so someone can't take the rack off your vehicle was lost, so I needed to replace it. I like this replacement better than the original - it feels more secure and stronger and sturdier. I will definitely return here for more trailer/rack needs in the future! thank you!
I lost the Thule Snug Tite lock for my hitch-mounted bike rack. Buying the cylinder that went with the key I already had, plus the housing and the universal change key, and I was all set again, for about half the price of buying the full lock from Thule! Works great!

Still great, we use it 3 seasons of the year.
The product is just as described (with the exception of the THULE branding on the cap. By purchasing this lock housing and the replacement threaded pin, I saved about $25 off the THULE lock set.
I have made several purchases from etrailer.com. They have always shipped very fast and have excellent customer service.

Perfect! Working as designed and have met or exceeded all of myexpectations. E-trailer hitches are the best!
The lock fell off my bike rack pin. This replacement worked perfectly and was delivered quickly.
I have used etrailer for many towing and trailer parts over the years and the service is great!
I needed to replace the lost hitch lock for my Thule rack. Every other source of this was charging about $51 for the whole assembly, which was far more than I needed. etrailer was the only place I found that sold just the lock body, and for one third the cost of the full assembly. It needs a lock cylinder to go with it, but I wanted a new one anyway to match my other Thule products.
Very happy with etrailer - they had a slight unplanned delay and made sure I was kept informed at every step and easily able to cancel if the delay was a problem (it wasn't)
I had lost the original lock for my Thule hitch pin. I thought I would have or buy a whole new one. I called etrailer and talked to Tommy. He was able to set me up with this replacement lock. While we talked he also set me up with extra keyed alike cylinders so I can get all my Thule stuff on 1key. If you are having trouble don't hesitate to give them a call.
Percect solution to securing my new Thule bike rack hithe extension, while using the spare lock cylinder that came with the bike rack. One key to rule them all. ;-)
I bought this product along with the bolt for my Thule bike carrier that I bought used and didn't include one. It has worked perfectly the last year, and if it isn't OEM, I cannot tell. It works exactly as expected, and so far, no one has stolen my Thule bike carrier. Highly recommend if you need a replacement.
Customer Service: Carol C. from etrailer provided excellent customer service. I'll be back.
Product: This is an OEM Thule product, so it's as good as it'll get from Thule.
Price: Cheaper here than Thule's site with an added ProDeal discount code.
Shipping: Relatively slow, but worth it for the price (I wasn't in a hurry anyway).
Our original lock fell off the hitch pin cause it wasn't locked in place (always check to be sure it's locked in place). Received my replacement lock cylinder and housing within a few days of ordering it - very quick service. The lock works great with my Thule keys and I am very happy with my purchase. Half the price of similar locks where you have to buy the replacement keys.
The one I received did not have Thule on the lock cover as shown in the photo. It is blank. Lock works just like the original one that came with the rack. As described, quick shipping, purchased for second Thule threaded pin and lock assembly to keep in second vehicle. Very happy with etrailer.com
Not much to say about it...chances are if you are buying one of these its because you somehow lost yours like I did. The cost was reasonable, EXCEPT for the fact you ALSO have to buy the lock core . Its still cheaper than the $90 pin and lock replacement combo, and much cheaper than losing a $400 bike rack...
Pro tip: buy the core that matches your key, otherwise you will have to buy a core AND a key.
Pro tip 2: Double check that its securely locked on the pin before you drive away :/
Doesn't have the Thule cover but accepted the Thule lock cylinder pretty easily.

Working like a charm. Like I stated before nomThule cover but adequate.
I ordered a new lock mechanism for my Thule Doubletrack. After several years of use, my old one had gotten dirty and corroded inside. eTrailer had the part and shipped it to me quickly. Thanks!
I lost the lock on my Thule hitch pin and was able to order an exact match from etrailer. I was able to use my existing keys. Ordering was easy and shipping was fast. They are a great company.
Product was not what I needed and this was after sending pictures of the bike rack. Will probably be able to use the locking system for the roof rack, but certainly not the bike rack.
eTrailer was way more helpful than thule, who wrote me off when I told them I had a problem with my snugtight lock. It was simple to get a new lock and matching core from eTrailer! Thanks!
Product was shipped fast and received ahead of schedule. Product as advertised no issues. I'll be back for other trailering needs.
Exactly what I needed to replace the one I lost because I didn't check that it latched properly onto the hitch security pin. The one I received was unbranded (no Thule logo on it) but works exactly the same as the original that I lost.
Exact replacement for the original hitch lock, but without the white Thule logo on the cover flap. Works perfectly with the new lock core I ordered as well.
Purchased the locking hitch, replacement housing, and a new core to match my other locks. Works great and at a much better discount than purchasing the entire unit from another retailer.

Ok, Craig, I think I can spot the problem! Where you are trying to insert the pin, there is a plug that is blocking it. You just have to pop that out and the lock will work like its supposed to.
