Expert Answers about Chevrolet Vehicle Locks


  • Trailer Coupler Latch Lock Compatible With 2 Different Tow Vehicles
  • The BOLT Trailer Coupler Lock # BL7025290 is going to be programmed to only your 2017 Ford F-250. If you wanted a lock keyed to your 2017 GMC Yukon XL you will need the Lock # BL7025287. You will not be able to use one lock coded to two different vehicle keys. Which leaves you the option of having a separate coupler lock for each vehicle to use or using a Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock # 2847DAT that comes with 2 keys you can leave in each vehicle.

  • Can You Re-key BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock

  • Does Thule Snug Tite Lock Make a Lot of Noise when Driving
  • The lock part of the Snug Tite lock # THSTL2 can move around, this is true, but the likelihood of being able to hear it while in a moving vehicle is slim to none. It just doesn't have enough mass to make enough noise to be noticeable especially in a moving vehicle and even with the windows down. The friction between the vehicle tires and the road creates much more noise than the lock ever could. So no worries!

  • Does the Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack # TH88VR Come with Locks
  • The Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack, # TH88VR, does not come equipped with a way to lock the bikes to the carrier or the carrier to the vehicle. These products are sold separately. For this we offer the Thule Cable Lock, # TH538XT, to lock your bikes to the carrier and the Thule Passive Security Strap, # TH533, to secure the carrier to the vehicle. Simply loop the cable around your carrier and close the puck end in your locked trunk or rear hatch so your carrier cannot be removed.

  • Falcon 2 Tow Bars Lock Up and Are Difficult To Remove When Disconnecting From Vehicle
  • Yes, the arms of the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 will extend and lock into position when you start pulling your vehicle. The bars can often be difficult to release when you go to disconnect the tow bars from the towed vehicle when you get to your site.

  • Should The Steering Be Locked When Flat Towing A Keyless Car
  • Since you're looking at the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1312 I assume you're trying to flat tow your vehicle. If this is the case then you would not want to lock the steering wheel up under any circumstance. Locking the wheel will prevent the front wheels from turning with the motorhome as you make turns and will just drag the car and ruin your wheels. Every vehicle that can be flat towed has a list of instructions in the owner's manual that will set the vehicle into neutral to prevent damage....

  • What Is The Locking Mechanism For The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Which Secures It To Vehicle?
  • The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 does secure itself using the anti-rattle tightened down inside the receiver on your tow vehicle. There is a lock on the knob which prevents the anti-rattle mechanism from being loosened and that is what secures it to your vehicle. The locks on the knobs are the same locking mechanism used to secure your bikes to the bike rack. We have tested the locks in our facility and they are very secure and we have tested the bike rack on your speed bump courses...

  • Bike And Hitch Locks for RockyMounts RKY10223 WestSlope 3-Bike Rack
  • The cable and hitch lock that's compatible with the RockyMounts # RKY10223 WestSlope bike rack are available separately as part # RKY10224. The WestSlope bike rack is one of my favorite designs, primarily because the U-shaped rack allows you to step in closer to the rear of the vehicle which makes in easy to load the bikes that are closest to the vehicle. I've linked to description videos for both the bike rack and the lock kit I recommended.

  • Should The Settings On The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Be Changed When Driving On Snow and Ice?
  • With a proportional brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 you will not need to reduce the gain as the brakes will only activate as hard as it feels the vehicle slowing down. One thing that will help you to slow the trailer is to pump your vehicle brakes. Since the trailer brakes will easily lock up on snow and ice like vehicle brakes did before the days of Anti Lock Brakes, this will help reduce the chances of the trailer sliding left or right...

  • How to Lock Yakima HoldUp # Y02443 to Receiver on Vehicle
  • The Yakima HoldUp you mentioned, part # Y02443 uses an anti-rattle threaded hitch pin as you can see in the photo I provided. The hitch pin can be locked, thus securing the rack to the hitch using the optional Hitch Lock, part # Y07235. You can see this by looking at the photo I edited for you. In other words, the Yakima rack will lock the same way the Thule does, but the locking portion is not included with the rack and is an optional accessory.

  • Does Lock N Roll Coupler Fit Inside or Outside 3 Inch Channel
  • The 3 inch channel dimension is referring to outside the channel; so the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - 3" Channel - Trailer Side # 336TS508 will bolt onto the outside of a 3 inch channel. With this on your trailer, you'll also need the accompanying mount for your vehicle such as the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch for 2" Receivers - 4-1/2" Drop/Rise - Vehicle Side # 336VS517. The correct mount for your vehicle is going to depend on the rise or drop you need,...

  • Can Steering Be Locked When Flat-Towing A Dune Buggy
  • The first thing I recommend is to contact the dealership and make sure that the dune buggy can be flat-towed. With a custom frame and body I am not certain there are base plates or adapters available for your dune buggy. The universal base plate bracket kit we offer is part # BX88230, and it is designed to attach to a vehicle bumper. As the instructions state, most bumpers need to be modified to be able to use this system. If you find you can use the # BX88230 kit, I recommend a tow...

  • Can a Replacement Key For The Club Steering Wheel Lock Be Cut Without An Original Key?
  • Typically a locksmith will use the cut key from The Club Vehicle Steering Wheel Lock # WI900YELLOW to cut the Blank Key # WI490KEY. I first recommend contacting your local locksmiths to determine if they have the capability to cut the blank without having a cut key to match. They may be able to remove your lock cylinder and cut the key to operate the lock.

  • Can Removable Receiver for EcoHitch 306-X7201 Be Locked to Vehicle
  • The Infinite Rule # 34061071-D lock can be used to secure a hitch mounted accessory into the removable receiver used by the # 306-X7201, but to secure the removable receiver to the hitch itself, the threaded bolt included with the hitch must be used. EcoHitch doesn't offer a locking pin for the removable receiver. EcoHitch recommends removing the receiver when it's not being used. I've linked to the installation video you'd mentioned.

  • Should I Update My Locks on My Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack?
  • If you have the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22B (2" hitches) or # SH12B (1-1/4" hitches), the racks already come with keyed-alike locks that involve a cable to secure your bikes to the rack and a locking hitch pin to lock the rack to the vehicle. With these two modes of theft-deterrence, a would-be thief would have a really difficult time escaping with your investments. Also, it is important to note that there are no ways to 100% insure that your property will be safe from theft. For these reasons,...
