About 6 months after owning it, the lock is completely froze up. Can't cut the darn thing off without cutting my safety chain hook up off either
by: Sandy C01/20/2023
Would’ve been a great little lock had it actually fit in the housing. Too short for mine. Turns out my housing is 3”, not 2”. My bad. Paid $25 for it, etrailer wants $17 for return shipping fee? Pretty lame. So buyer beware, measure your housing first!

Works as advertised. I have a Tesla Y and this is the only one that will fit it the small space provided.
by: Phillip 06/21/2023
I really like this receiver lock and have 3 of this model in total. The machined finish of the lock bar and the locking mechanism with dust cap are well made. The blue (and red on my other hitch lock) accent color is a nice touch.

Really good and cool looking hitch lock, service from trailer is always excellent, have purchased several products for my vehicles there, always great quality and superb costumer service..

Solid gear. Well constructed. Easy & convenient security for hitch cover / ball assembly. Look forward to many years of reliable use.

Exactly what I needed for my 2014 Jeep Wrangler! Fits perfectly and does not interfere with the light connector.

Great service from e-trailer. These people are on top of things.

Great alternative for a trailer hitch lock for my 2016 Yukon because of GM's lack of spacing between receiver and seven pin plug to use my lock that had key entering from the horizontal direction.

Still performing as expected. Quality product.

In addition to the hitch and bike rack, a Kuat, I purchased this extremely sturdy lock. It’s thicker than the one which came with the rack, but still has no problem being threaded through the hitch and rack, and adds stability, besides security.
by: Chris E.09/10/2016
Love the product, the service and the very personal touch from etrailer.com! Great to deal with and an overall great experience so far! The lock was for my hitch extender which is also perfect?

Still clicking along after a year of use. No issues.

Love the products, love the support, love the videos and resources for using these. Couldn't be happier with your company, except ONE THING: Shipping.
In ordering two hitches (got one for a friend) both came with the hitches bursting through the cardboard box.
While there was no damage to either (it's steel!) In the second shipment, the including lock pin set got so rattled the boxed set came apart, and the keys literally fell out of the MAIN box during shipping.
Looking at some other customer reviews, this is NOT uncommon.
I understand saving some money on shipping - but your shipping department needs to pack smaller items in a more secure manner within these huge boxes.
It also wouldn't hurt to use some styrofoam on the edges of the hitches that are prone to puncture the boxes, causing an egress point for the smaller insecure items in the box to be lost. Just MHO.
by: Eric 07/07/2022
It just plain works, however due to the right angle locking design it is a little awkward to get the lock head on while you are holding the key in the spinning lock head and at the same time holding the pin in with you other hand as you put pressure on the pin while you are pushing on the locking head AND turning the key while the lock hesd wants to spin...mine will not press on and lock without the key in and turned..3 handed monkey operation
by: Emir07/30/2020
Great product! Solid and sturdy construction, exactly as described. Also, fast processing and shipping! Great company with great products.
by: Olga K05/13/2019
Works great, no issues. This lock makes it easy to access the keyhole. Our previous straight lock took two people and some tricky hand positions to get the key inserted, because of the tight spacing around the hitch reciever and electrical trailer connector on the back of our Audi Q7. I'd recommend this to anyone with a cramped setup around their hitch.
by: Peter07/12/2018
I like the fact that I now only need to carry 1 key set to open two of these locks; but it's a little short to use on my 2014 Toyota Tacoma -- is just won't lock because the shank is about 2-3mm shorter than what I need. Now I have an extra 2" hitch lock that I can't use for what I purchased it for.

This lock will not work with some factory 2 trailer hitches that have an outside width wider than 2-3/4. Toyota OEM trailer hitches have that extra piece on the outside of the hitch and they require a different, longer locking hitch pin such part #1469DAT.

- Carr Hitch Mounted Step For 2" Receiver With United States Marine Corps EmblemWe do have the Carr Hitch Mounted Step for 2" Trailer Hitches # CARR183142 with your USMC logo on the bottom of the step. A Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 1480DAT will secure the step to your receiver. And as it has a stainless steel construction you will be able to remove it after years of corrosion.
view full answer... - 5/8 Hitch Pin With 4-1/2 SpanSince you have a 3/4-Ton truck I assume that you have a 2-1/2" square receiver using a 5/8" hitch pin. We don't have a stainless steel option, but you could use the etrailer # e65TR which has a 4-1/2" span and it has a durable black finish or the JR Products # 37201065 which has a 4-3/4" span and is chrome plated.
view full answer... - Will Aftermarket Hitch for 2020 Chevy Equinox Fit Behind rear Bumper CutoutAll of the aftermarket hitches that fit your 2022 Chevy Equinox Premier will sit below the rear bumper fascia and aren't designed to be hidden behind that rear panel - for that exact setup you'll need to have an OEM hitch installed. If the receiver being behind that panel isn't a deal breaker then I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR because it has a matte black finish that not only blends in better with your vehicle trim but it does a better job holding up...
view full answer... - Will Master Lock Hitch Pin Work with B&W Tow & Stow Adjustable Ball MountBecause of the large span required to secure the ball mount of the B&W Tow and Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B, the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 1480DAT will not work to secure the ball mount to the shank. The span of the # 1480DAT hitch pin lock is not long enough to secure the ball mount to the shank. The long pin in the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492 is the only pin we carry that is long enough to span the 4 inch wide ball mount of the...

- Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch Lock Recommendation for Boat Trailer ApplicationWe have the Masterlock hitch lock part # 1480DAT which is stainless steel that I would highly recommend. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. The replacement LED strip you need is the part # CR-600L-LED for your # CR-600LED.
view full answer... - Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control for Ford F-150Yes, the Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitches do reduce tongue weight by using a spring bar to move some of the tongue weight to your trailer axles, and some to your front truck axle. Probably just what you need to stop your truck from squatting down in the back also. If your trailer dry weight is 8300 pounds then a tongue weight of 10 to 15% would be 830 to 1245 pounds. However nobody I have ever met actually tows a "dry" trailer. You should consider the weight of your trailer when...

He confirmed that pins can be used in the ball mount, but they need to be able to span the hitch, have a diameter of 5/8 inches, and be rated for 10,000 pounds. I found the longer of the 2 pins in the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492 to span the width of the Tow & Stow # BWTS10048B. I have attached some photos I took showing the adjustment pin lock in the Tow...

- Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Recommendations For a 2007 Ford F-250 With Weight Distribution SystemThe Master Lock Trailer Lock, # 1480DAT, and our etrailer.com Hitch Receiver Lock, # e98882, are similar locks in the sense that they have the same fit applications (2 inch hitch receivers) and build material (stainless steel). Both locks are highly rated by our customers. The main difference between these two locks are the swivel head of the Master Lock and the side facing head of the DeadBolt lock. The swivel head feature from Master Lock allows for easier access when you need to remove...
view full answer... - Will a Hitch Lock for 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitches Fit a 2 Inch Trailer HitchThe Master Lock hitch lock # 1469DAT is designed with a longer pin that what is typically needed for a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch since it was designed for wider 2-1/2 inch hitches. However, both 2 inch and 2-1/2 inch hitches have a 5/8 inch pin hole diameter so the lock will fit. The inside span is 3-1/4 inches and may appear very long in a 2 inch hitch. For the same lock designed for 2 inch trailer hitches use # 1480DAT. Its inside span is 2-3/4 inches. I have included links to...
view full answer... - What is the Coupler Height of the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XTI spoke with my contact at Malone who said that the coupler height of the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT is 15". When we installed the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76138 on a 2017 Mazda CX-5 the coupler height (from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver) measured 13". If this is the case with your 2018 model then that means you will need a ball mount with a 2" rise. The Curt Fusion Ball Mount # C45155 is a great option as it has a 2-1/4" rise (the...

On each end of the pin, on the insides that face the inner span, it is tapered so there will be just enough wiggle room. It might be safer to go with span that is just a little wider like # e98880 that has a 2-5/8 inch span. Then there is an extra long span on # e98881 that measures 3-5/8 inches inside width. If 3-5/8 is too long and you do not want to chance a 2-5/8,...
view full answer... - Hitch Lock Does Not Open But The Key Turns I consulted with my contact at the Master Lock company and was advised of the following steps to help resolve your issue with the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock not working # 1480DAT. First ensure you are using the correct key. If you have used any lubricants with the lock, blow it out with canned air. Re-lube the lock with PTFE lube formula (such as Tri-flow). Work your key back into the lock to open it.
view full answer... - Lock Recommendations for B and W Tow and Stow Ball MountThe B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount do not come with a keyed locking pin to secure the shank to the receiver. For that I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Trailer Hitches # 1480DAT. If you want a locking pin for the ball mount, you would need the longer of the two pins that comes with the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492. I have added links to video reviews of each product for you.

- What is Class Rating of Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Trailer hitch pins and receiver locks, such as the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 1480DAT that you referenced, do not typically have a listed Class rating or weight capacity. This is simply because they are built with extreme weight bearing capabilities that can handle any weight that would be put on them (regardless of the trailer hitch's weight capacity). If you see a Class rating listed on a hitch pin or lock, this is simply in reference to the receiver size (1-1/4 inch, 2...
view full answer... - Ideal Hitch Ball Height for a 2008 Toyota Highlander V6The hitch ball height you need depends entirely on the specific trailer you will be towing. There is no ideal height that would be universal for a certain vehicle. Trailers come in all different heights, so you will need to take some measurements to determine the correct rise or drop you will need on your ball mount. This is what will allow you to put the hitch ball in the correct placement for hooking up your trailer. First, you will need to measure from the ground to the top of the...
view full answer... - What Hitch Locks Are Good For Resisting Rust And CorrosionYes, you are correct the best hitch lock to prevent rust and corrosion is the stainless steel lock. The stainless steel locks will not corrode. The Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Stainless Steel Flush Design, # e98882, is one of our top sellers. The price difference is only a few dollars from the chrome to the stainless steel so it is definitely the better buy. The other choice for a stainless steel lock is the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # 1480DAT, it is also stainless steel...
view full answer... - Will the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 1480DAT Fit a Class III Hitch on a 2012 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe Master Lock hitch pin lock # 1480DAT should not interfere with the trailer connector on your 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The blue end and the lock end only stick out 1-1/2 inches each on either side so if the connector is 3 inches away from the receiver you will still have 1-1/2 inches of clearance. You will want to have the lock end on the side of the receiver closest to the trailer connector so you can pull the pin out the other side.
view full answer... - Weight of Carr Hitch Mounted Step CARR183012The Carr Hitch Mounted Step you referenced, part # CARR183012, weighs just under 2-lbs apiece. Thanks to the aluminum construction, this Carr step naturally provides light weight and corrosion-resistance. It fits 2-inch hitches. It can be locked to your 2-inch hitch using a lock such as # 1480DAT from Master Lock.

The Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # 1480DAT, is also a 5/8 inch diameter pin. So it will fit the same holes as the regular pins. The inside pin length on the lock is 2-3/4 inches. The widest part of the end of the pin, the blue part, is 1.22 inches in diameter so a little less than 1-1/4 inches. That means that the blue part will stick up closer to that bolt by 0.59 inches. I then measure how far the black...

- Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock 1480DAT Key Will Not Go In Or TurnHey Steven, I too would really hope that a lock like the # 1480DAT from the Master Lock brand would last longer than 12 months. My only suggestion would be to maybe try some WD-40 and a small wire brush to see if you can get any to penetrate the inside of the lock. If possible, rotate the lock so that gravity will also help the WD-40 get down into the core. If all of that fails, this lock does come with a lifetime warranty. If you contact customer service they can help get a replacement...

The Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch Trailer Hitches, item # 1480DAT, will not fit bike racks with threaded anti-rattle hitch pins.

You can take a measurement and check. If the outside to outside width of the receiver tube at the hitch pin hole is less than 2-5/8 inches, the Master Lock # 1480DAT lock wouldn't fit. We have a lock that's specially designed to work with the Tundra and Tacoma OEM hitches, it is part #e98881.

This hitch is a Class I hitch and has a 200 lb tongue weight limit and a 2,000 lb gross trailer weight, as long as your trailer is under those limits this hitch should work great. You will also want to check the manufacturers towing recommendations for your Versa, so you will not exceed the weight that your vehicle should tow.

That is not good to hear at all! I have a couple of tips and tricks you can try. WD-40, a de-icer, or Graphite Spray are lubricants that keep water out of locks to prevent freezing. You could also smear some petroleum jelly on the lock, it works the same as WD-40 or the graphite spray. Since the lock is already frozen, you could dip your key into some hand sanitizer. The alcohol from the hand sanitizer should melt the ice after you wiggle it around a bit. Try some of these out and let me know how it works for you and we can go from there.
