  • How to Lock Bike Rack With No Hitch Pin Lock Available
  • The HitchMate Threaded Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # HE6001 has a 5/8" pin diameter and is designed for certain SportRack bike racks so it will not work for you. Hitch pin locks are designed for specific bike racks so if that's what you need it for, let me know what rack you have I can see if there is a lock that will work for you. Otherwise, if you have a 1/2 inch diameter hitch pin that likely means you have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and we do have hitch locks with 1/2 inch...

  • Keyed Alike Trailer Hitch Lock for 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch
  • Although there is an option for a trailer hitch receiver lock for a 2-1/2" trailer hitch that you can get keyed alike, the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BX88212 is not one that you can get keyed alike. I recommend the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # e98881 which has a keyed alike option. To order them keyed alike, just hit the "Keyed Alike" option in the drop-down box on the product page and enter the quantity you need. I added...

And the Fastway Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock 3-5/8" Span item # FA86-00-3160 which fits 2", 2-1/2", and 3" Hitches.

  • 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Recommendation

  • Yes, you do need a hitch pin and clip like the Pin and Clip, # PC3, or a lock like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # e98880, to keep it in the hitch. You do not need both of them. A hitch cover gets inserted into the 2 inch receiver hitch. Then either the pin and clip or the receiver lock would be inserted through both the hole in the hitch and the wire brackets on the back of the hitch cover to keep it in the hitch. The lock uses a key to open it and is a good choice to prevent somebody...

  • Recommended Solution to Lock Trailer with Weight Distribution System Attached
  • It sounds like you're looking for a solution to lock your trailer coupler while the weight distribution hitch is still connected to the trailer, and I think you might be referring to a Fastway E2 weight distribution hitch. We do not have an e-trailer branded weight distribution system available. With all of that said, we do have some solutions that can help provide an added layer of security to your trailer, but you won't want to use the Tow Ready # TS84FR since you won't have the ability...

  • Is there Something Similar to the Anti-Rattle Lock # 63232 for Solid Shanks?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, there are no anti-rattle hitch pins like the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 for solid shanks. If you are looking for the same result of the # 63232 on your solid shank, I recommend the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007 and the Fastway Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - 2" Hitches # FA86-00-3050. These two accessories will give you the stability and security you want on your solid shank.

  • I may have a solution for you, but the lock cores on the etrailer hitch locks # e99047 are not going to be able to be replaced with a Thule lock core. Thule does make an anti-rattle locking hitch pin though that you might be able to make work; that can be found with the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 and is compatible with Thule hitch mounted accessories.

  • Recommended Solution to Get Both Padlock and Hitch Lock Keyed Alike to Use Single Key

I'll also add that these types of locks are going to use two different types of locks, so having them keyed alike does present a unique challenge; however, BOLT makes locks that can be keyed specifically to the ignition key of your vehicle and would...
