Expert Answers about Chevrolet Vehicle Locks


  • Recommendation for Locking Tailgate on 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  • The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock - Manual - Black # PAL6100 is a fit for your vehicle but does not have the ability to use that same vehicle ignition key. What most people prefer is the power and manual lock option which allows you to lock your tailgate with the power lock system already integrated in your vehicle. When you lock the doors, you lock the tailgate too and the same for unlocking. The manual lock then with separate key is only for situations where you want to keep that...

  • Recommended Lock Options for Fultion Hand Wheel Latch when the Trailer is Connected to Tow Vehicle
  • Locking the hand wheel coupler to your vehicle can be tricky. You have a few options as you mentioned you can use a lock with the coupler removed from the ball of your vehicle like the Master Lock Universal Trailer Coupler Lock # 379DAT. To keep the trailer mounted to your tow vehicle and lock it, you will need to use an alternative lock than a coupler lock. I recommend the Blaylock EZ Trailer Wheel Lock # BLEZ-302. This prevents the trailer from rolling by attaching to the wheel on...

  • Do BOLT GM Hitch Pin Locks Come with Master Keys
  • The master key for the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BL7018446 will be your vehicle key that you will insert into the core and turn it. Having a master key for these would defeat the purpose of this lock being keyed to only your vehicle and would open up the possibility of someone being able to run around and unlock all of them. You only get to key these to one key so it has to be your vehicle key and then it's permanent. In the review video our demo guy shows how to key the lock...

  • Easy Way to Lock Bikes and Bike Rack to Trailer Hitch of Vehicle
  • The simplest and most effective solution to lock your bikes and rack to the hitch of your 2019 Honda CR-V would be to use a cable lock like the etrailer cable lock part # e98891 which you could route through your bike frames and back through the safety chain loop of the vehicle. This would essentially lock everything to the hitch which is connected to the vehicle.

  • Is There a Lock for the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack
  • Yes, we do offer locks for the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR. The 8' Cable Lock and lock Loop for Saris Trunk Mounted Bike Racks part # SAR52FR is a two in one. It locks the bikes to the rack and then the rack to the vehicle. The rack to vehicle lock is just a loop that closes in the hatch and prevents the rack from being removed even with the straps off. The bike to rack lock is a more traditional steel cable with metal lock core.

  • Best Coupler Lock for Demco Channel Tongue Coupler
  • My best recommendation is the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock # e98887. This lock fits into either one of the two pin holes of your coupler # 12564. This locks your latch into place so one can't disconnect it from your tow vehicle. It also works when your trailer is stored unhitched since thieves can't hitch your trailer to their vehicle with this lock in the way. Another popular lock for trailer storage is the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip Couplers # e98893. This completely...

  • Recommended Trailer Locks To Secure Trailer With Lock N Roll Coupler
  • For the vehicle side of the hitch like the Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Hitch for 2" Receivers # 336VS501 you can use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # e98880 to secure the hitch to your vehicle. The Lock N Roll coupler does not have a lock made for it, or a place where you could attach a lock. Since it is not a very common coupler and requires a special hitch to tow it, the chance of someone having a compatible hitch is unlikely as long as you keep yours locked...

  • Recommended Keyed-Alike Locks for Multiple Trailer Hitches
  • I do have a few possible solutions for you, however we do not currently offer a product that would allow you to have everything in your system keyed-alike. Depending on the tow vehicles you drive, I recommend looking at the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Locks like the # BL7023584. These are vehicle specific pin locks that, depending on the tow vehicle you are using, can actually be coded to your ignition key - so you will always have the correct key with you. Since you do have multiple...

  • Should Steering Wheel be Unlocked or Locked While Flat Towing
  • Actually most vehicles have a steering wheel lock built into the steering column to prevent the wheel from turning when the key is off. Also, typically when a vehicle is being flat-towed you actually want the steering wheel to be unlocked so that that vehicle tracks behind the tow vehicle properly. I attached an FAQ article on flat towing that you should find helpful as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Locks for Rented U-Haul Trailers to Secure When Connected and Disconnected
  • Since you are looking to lock your trailer when connected as well as when disconnected, I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # 3794DAT. This kit will give you a hitch pin lock for your ball mount, the trigger lock for the trailer when connected or disconnected from you vehicle, and the coupler lock to secure it when disconnected. These locks are all keyed alike for your convenience. I've attached a video to assist.

  • Can the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Locks Be Re-Coded To Multiple Keys
  • The BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Locks like part # BL7023585 can only be coded to one ignition key. Therefore, you can't transfer it from vehicle to vehicle. This would allow anyone with the same truck to steal hitch pin lock and whatever you had attached to the trailer hitch if that were the case. Instead, you will want to use a standard hitch pin lock like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # C23025. I have attached a full list of options for you as well.

  • The BOLT locks we carry that key to the vehicle's key can only be programmed one time. If you change vehicles you will need to get a new lock.

  • Is There a Locking Hitch Pin That Uses Key For 2015 Honda Pilot?
  • I have a locking hitch pin recommendation, but even though there is a company named Bolt that makes locks that a vehicle key can be used to lock and unlock, but they don't make one compatible with the key for your 2015 Honda Pilot. You'll need to use a traditional style lock like the # FHG63VR which includes it's own key instead.

  • Lock Recommendation for Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
  • Roadmaster uses a specific connection style for their locks, so for a lock set that would lock the base plates to the vehicle and the tow bar to the hitch of the tow vehicle you would want part # RM-304 or part # RM-302 for just the base plate locks. The lock kit part # BX88177 would only work with a Blue Ox system that uses their style of lug connection.

  • Does Prodigy P3 Brake Controller Use Vehicle's Anti-Lock Braking System
  • The anti-lock braking system of your vehicle does not pass through to the trailer brakes when using a brake controller like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195. The brake controller "thinks" independently of the vehicle braking system and instead relies on it's inertia sensor to apply the correct amount of pressure. To prevent the brakes from locking up though you will need to set the gain at a level that is as strong as possible without locking up the brakes which would give you max breaking...

  • Recommended Lock for Securing Reese Cargo Carrier to Vehicle
  • Locks are not included with the Reese Cargo Carrier # 63153 that you referenced but I can absolutely recommend a lock that will work perfectly. To secure the carrier to your vehicle I highly recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880. This will take the place of the standard pin and clip to attach the cargo carrier to the hitch receiver. It features a patented, pick-proof, screw-and-lock security design, a double-chrome plating for superior rust resistance, and all...

  • Should Steering Wheel of Vehicle be Locked When Towed on Tow Dolly Without Steering Axle
  • When towing a vehicle on a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced you need the steering wheel to be locked so that around corners the dolly fenders don't hit the door or fender of the vehicle. If your steering wheel doesn't lock when the key is off you can use your seat belt to lock it. Wrap the seat belt a couple times around the steering wheel and then buckle it in place. Now pull the seat belt all the way out so that as you let it retract it locks. Now your wheel will...

  • Best Locking Roof Mounted Cargo Baskets
  • I do have similar roof mounted cargo baskets that can be locked to the vehicle's roof rack but the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket part # C18115-117 does not have this feature because it is more of any entry level, economy roof basket. If you must have one that can be locked to the vehicle's roof rack then I recommend taking a look at the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket part # TH859XT-8591XT with the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders part # TH450400 or the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack...

  • Recommended Coupler Lock To Lock Demco Surge Brake Coupler DM8104311 To Tow Vehicle
  • You absolutely can! To lock the coupler latch of the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8104311 you were looking at to the hitch ball on your vehicle you will need to use the coupler lock # e98887 which gets inserted into the hole on the latch shown in the included diagram. This makes it so that the trailer coupler cannot be removed from the hitch ball, and you can do the same thing when storing the trailer that way no one can hook their vehicle up to the trailer and take it. I included...
