Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at this locking hitch pin from Flint Hill Goods. This is gonna have a 3 1/2 inch span, that's the inside edge to inside edge, so it's gonna make it a good fit for two inch or 2 1/2 inch receiver tubes. It's a 5/8 inch diameter pin, so it'll fit any standard hitch pin hole. Now, on my particular hitch, it's just a little hard to get to just because of the clearance I have with this plastic fascia, but it is really easy to put in otherwise. And then for the key, it's not a push to lock core, so you do have to apply some pressure to it in the unlocked position, which is honestly really awkward and hard to do.
And once you have it pressed in, you can try to turn that key to lock it up, and then you have the dust cap cover on the other side to keep that keyhole nicely covered up. The whole thing has a black e-coating over it to help give it protection against rust and corrosion. For me, I actually really like the blacked out appearance, because down here by the hitch, it just blends in really well. Now, for me, I'm pretty picky with my hitch locks, because I want it to be easy to use. If it doesn't have the push to lock feature on the core, I like the etrailer version where it actually just threads onto, you can just hold the key and spin the whole lock to get it locked up and it just threads onto the base.
For me, that's a lot easier to do when you're down by the hitch, so if you are locking up an accessory and you have limited room to move around, it works out pretty well. Overall, the lock from Flint Hill Goods will do the job. At the end of the day, it's a lock, and it is going to be a good theft deterrent. Just for me, it's not my favorite, because I don't find it super easy to use when you're down at the hitch, especially if you've got an accessory in the hitch with it. It's going to be really difficult to get that lock core turned and locked in place.
It's easy enough to do just in my hand right here, but it's hard to keep the core from spinning whenever you are trying to lock it up. So for me, I'd go with the etrailer one, but really, it's up to you and what you're gonna be using it for. Thanks for watching.

Designed for 2" and 2-1/2" trailer hitch receivers, this lock with a 5/8" diameter pin is perfect for keeping any hitch accessory or ball mount locked securely to your hitch. Carbon steel construction with black e-coating.Item as described. Works great!
Work well - kind of a pain trying to lock them. You have to push on the end and hold the cylinder so it won't turn to lock them but they work.
Dont get it you leave your hitch in year round, locking mechanism seized and was a pain to get released even after using pb blaster and tapping it. always had the weather cap on as well but I guess it's not really made to resist the elements
the shaft will turn so you have to hold it but the price is right. Now I can secure the ball hitch to the car
Well made product, has nice weight to it. Worth the money and wait, happy with this purchase.
Just what I needed for security and to top off the new install. Looks great as well. Highly recommended.
Post fits in hitch receiver great, and the lock portion locks and unlocks easily.
Nice looking pin and lock system. Took off 1 star because unit is made in Chine I didn't see that bit of information in add. I hope the metal holds up to the stress of pulling 11,000 lb. trailer.
In powder coated black, this receiver lock is top shelf. Bravo! The 3.5in span did the trick for me and the ‘21 Taco’s 3” requirement. Slotted rubber cap will keep the round peg lock free of dirt. Also, nice diamond etching will make easy swap-outs in bad weather. Another 5-star winner from etrainer.
Very happy with my purchase from etrailer.com. The prices were far and away the best I could find and shipping was prompt.
Fits newer F350 3" hitch which requires 3.5" free area. Hard to find locking pin that fits. Had two other brands that became stuck and needed 3 hands to operate. This one works with two hands.
Product is great and works really well. Locking pins are the best for hitches.
Bought a truck with a 2-1/2" receiver. This lock pin fit perfectly and looks great too!
No more worries about the boat trailer not being there when I get done fishing for the day
This is my second purchase of this brand and model of hitch lock. I highly recommend it.
Great quality and good price. It fits perfect on my 2 inch by 2 inch receiver with some room on each side to spare. Looks great and loving it so far.
So glad I ordered this to protect my hitch. Easy to slide in the hole and locks easily
Works as advertised. Looks nice. Fits 2020 Ram 2500 class V (2 1/2") hitch.
happy with this
Quick and easy to use!
Locks need to be clean and lubricated often to keep from sticking. I bought 3 of these and all are the same.
Just what I wanted and needed ! Great product and great price. Thanks guys for your great service !
Its a pleasure ordering from you the part came on time and fits perfectly.Thanks
