  • Replacement Locking Hitch Pin Lock for 2004 Yakima Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Racks
  • The Yakima locks are designed to only work with Yakima components and I cannot guarantee that another brand would fit. If you do just need the lock part, you can use # Y07235. If you did need to replace the lock and cable, then you would also need a cable lock like # Y07238.

  • Is There Another Lock Option for Thule Hitch Mounted Bike Racks Besides THSTL2
  • If you have a Thule accessory, like a bike rack, then the lock and anti-rattle device from Thule, # THSTL2, is the only one that will work. (See THSTL2 product page for the racks the lock fits.) It fits 1-1/4 and 2 inch Thule hitch mounted racks. The reason it only fits these Thule models is the way that the lock and racks are threaded. They are uniquely threaded to match each other. I have included a video and instructions for this lock below.

  • Cable Lock Recommendation for Use with BikeWing Bike Rack
  • The etrailer.com # e98891 is a good choice to secure your bikes to the NEO2 bike rack, part # B01748. If you ran the cable through the wheels and around the uprights of the rack, then through one of the safety chain holes in your hitch, you'd secure bikes to the rack and the rack to the hitch. I've linked you to a product demonstration video for the bike rack as well as for the cable lock. The Swagman Cable lock you mentioned would only be tested to work on Swagman bike racks.

  • Hitch-Mount Carrier for Bicycle That Does Not Require Lifting the Bike
  • Hitch mount bike racks are offered in both the hanging-style and the platform style; the latter does require the bike be lifted but to a lesser degree than hanging-style racks. We do not currently offer any bicycle racks with ramps. However, the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033 that you referenced may indeed be the right solution for you. This carrier for 2-inch hitches has a ramp that can be fitted to either side of the carrier and it includes a pin and clip to secure it in...

  • Availability of Specific Lock Core for Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks
  • In the past, Kuat did have specific lock numbers available to order but that has changed. Unfortunately, a specific lock number is not something that is available. Assuming you have a 2" hitch, the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # HL2 is the correct lock for your NV 2.0, NV 2.0 Base, or Sherpa 2.0 bike rack. The only choice would be to have two different keys between your locks.

  • Does Curt 4-Bike Rack Have Locking Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin?
  • There are high-quality 4-bike platform racks available which do have locking anti-rattle hitch pins, but the Curt # C18087 does not; it has an anti-rattle hitch pin though it is not locking. A 4-bike rack that is similar in price to the Curt that actually comes with a keyed-alike hitch lock and cable lock is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HR1400Z. This bike rack uses padded hooks to grasp your bikes by the top tubes and adjustable wheel mounts with straps to secure your rear wheels....

  • Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Pro Series Q-Slot Trailer Hitch Mounted Bike Rack
  • Pro Series doesn't offer a locking hitch pin for the Q-Slot bike rack, however we've found that the Saris # SA3022 Hitch Tite Threaded Anti-Rattle lock will work. A cable lock like part # SA981 would help secure the bikes to the rack.

  • Matching Thule Bike Rack and Hitch Locks to Use the Same Key
  • Most brands of hitch-mount bike racks use their own unique type of threaded hitch pin/lock. Thule has their Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 that fits a wide range of their hitch carriers. These anti-rattle locks can be re-keyed to match other Thule items such as the lock on your rack. You'll need to order a set of four lock cores, part # TH450400, and use these new lock cores to replace those in the two hitch locks you order, and also in your existing bike rack. This...

  • Recommended 2 Bike Rack Compatible With 2009 Audi A4 With Class 1 Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • For a class 1 compatible bike rack for 2 bikes with integrated locks, I recommend the Swagman Chinook # S64683.

This bike carrier has a threaded hitch pin lock that also serves as an anti-rattle device....
