Expert Answers about Padlocks


  • Will BOLT Padlock Fit On ToyLok Retractable Cable Lock
  • Yes, the BOLT padlock you'd need for the ignition key of your 2020 Chevy Silverado part # BL7023537 would fit in place of the supplied padlock of the ToyLok Retractable Cable Lock with Padlock # LC337120 that you referenced.

  • Padlock for B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler
  • There isn't a specific padlock that goes with the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 so I went out to the warehouse to measure the diameter of the hole where a padlock would install. The hole is 0.337 inches in diameter so a lock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, # ML1KA, would be the best option.

  • Recommended Keyed Alike Padlocks and Hitch Locks
  • Roadmaster does not offer the Roadmaster Lock Set - Hitch Lock and 2 Quick-Disconnect Padlocks # RM-304 and the Roadmaster Quick Disconnect Padlocks (Qty 4) # RM-308 keyed alike. The only option we have for you to get all keyed alike padlocks and hitch locks is to use the BOLT system that keys to your vehicle ignition key. For instance if you have a Ford, you would use the # BL7018519 padlock and the # BL7018447 Hitch Lock.

  • Recommended Padlock to Use with the Spare Tire Carrier for Yakima Roof Cargo Baskets
  • I would be happy to help. The Spare Tire Carrier for Yakima Roof Cargo Baskets # Y07076 can use any padlock that has a shackle diameter of 1/4". While there isn't really a padlock that is going to perfectly address all of your concerns (suitable for outside, no rattle and no scraping), the Bauer Products Padlock # BA46VR is our best option. The Bauer Products Padlock # BA46VR has the 1/4" diameter shackle that is needed, but also features a steel shackle that resists corrosion and a black...

  • Can Padlocks be Used to Lock Bikes to Swagman XTC Bike Rack
  • I went out to our video studio to take a look at the XTC-2 and found that the padlock hole that can be used to secure the frame hooks of the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack, # S64670, into position measures right at 1/4 inches. With this measurement, I recommend going with the Master Lock Covered Solid Body Padlock with 3/16 Inch Diameter Shackle, # 131D. This lock is sold individually.

  • Recommended Padlock for Hi-Lift Jack Carrier for Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack
  • The Hi-Lift Jack Carrier for Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack # Y05033 will allow you to use most standard padlocks like the Master Lock 1-9/16" Wide Solid Brass Body Padlock with 2" Shackle # ML140DLH. I recommend measuring the platform rack with the jack attached just to be sure before purchasing a lock. The inside of the shackle on the # ML140DLH is 13/16" wide and 2" long. If you prefer a combination then the Master Lock 2-1/4" Wide ProSeries Resettable Combination Padlock with 2-1/16"...

  • Padlock for Locking Feet of B and W Companion Hitch to Ram Factory Rail Kit
  • The only way we can recommend you lock the B and W Companion hitch # BWRVK3600 to the factory rail kit of your 2016 Dodge Ram 3500 will be with a pad lock like the # ML4140LH as there isn't any other way to lock the feet. Most thieves are going to be deterred by the sheer weight of the fifth wheel hitch which will make a quick getaway nearly impossible and also the presence of a padlock. A determined thief with enough time and the correct tools typically can get what they want, but with...

  • Which padlock can be used on trailer door in the winter without freezing?
  • While the Global Link Vise Lock for Cam-Action Door Latch # 295-000024 is a great solution to locking your trailer door latch, the key hole is exposed to the elements like most locks so it wouldn't be ideal for the winter months. You could remedy this by using lock de-icer. I think a better option is to use a weather-resistant padlock such as Master Lock Laminated Steel Padlock - 1-15/16" Wide - 9/32" Diameter Shackle # ML312D. It has a thermoplastic sleeve and lock cover to keep the elements...

  • Can Torklift Lock and Load TLA790 Cargo Tray Be Used With a Standard Padlock
  • The # TLA790 cargo tray is meant to be used with a lock. That top bar won't stay in place without one. You could use a different padlock, but the benefit of the puck lock that's provided is that they are super-difficult to defeat.

  • Recommended Lockable Gooseneck Coupler Inner Tube And Padlock
  • Yes, the Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler Inner Tube - Round - 2-5/16" Ball - 25,000 lbs # BD1289020300 is lockable with a standard padlock. I recommend the Master Lock Laminated Steel Padlock- 1-9/16" Wide- 3/8" Shackle - Blue Cover - Keyed Alike # ML312KA for a little less metal on metal rattle.

  • Complete Lock Kit For Trailer Hitch Receiver And Trailer Coupler
  • I highly recommend going with Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # 3794DAT.

  • Will Master Lock Combination Padlock - Item # ML4688D Work Outside In A Humid Environment
  • I contacted the manufacturer and the Master Lock Combination Padlock with Flexible Shackle, Item # ML4688D, is not well suited for long term exposure to the elements, especially a humid environment. It is designed to secure luggage and to have limited exposure to the elements so to speak. Another option to consider is the Tow Ready Cable Lock, Item # TR63255. This locking system comes with a 4 foot long vinyl coated steel cable and padlock with 2 keys. It is designed to be rugged...

  • Can a Padlock be Placed on the End of Standard Trailer Hitch Pin # C21500
  • The hole in the hitch pin # C21500 or any other standard hitch pin with clip is not large enough for a useful padlock. It would take a very small lock that could be defeated easily. That is why for a more secure option we carry locking hitch pins. The most popular locking hitch pin for a 2 inch trailer hitch (5/8 inch diameter) is # e98880. I have included a link to a video review of this locking hitch pin for you to view. I have also included a link to the other locking hitch pins we...

  • How to Lock the Curt A25 OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch 16066
  • The only way I can see fit to secure the Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16066 to your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 would be by replacing the security pins with padlocks as you mentioned. The correct size padlock for you is the Master Lock Padlock part # 131D. The nuts that hold the legs to the feet could be removed with an open ended wrench (crescent is likely too bulky) but they would also need a pair of pliers to remove the cotter pin and they would have to do this for all four sides....

  • Recommended Lock for Use with Master Lock 10-mm Braided Steel Cable
  • A padlock with a larger opening to accommodate the cables, like the Master Lock Padlock # ML4140LH will work to secure the 10-mm Braided Steel Cable # 72DPF. This lock is ideal for use with loop-end cables such as the # 72DPF.

  • Can Puck Lock Be Used with Blaylock EZ Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # BLTL-33
  • The Blaylock EZ Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # BLTL-33 is designed to work perfectly with a standard padlock, but I think the typical opening size on the back of a puck lock will be a bit too small to fit over the end of its pin/shank. The pin/shank on this lock has a 3/4" diameter, while for example the opening on the Master Lock Puck Lock # ML6271 we have available has a height of just 19/32", which wouldn't allow it to mount over the pin. Your best option is going to be with something...
