About 6 months after owning it, the lock is completely froze up. Can't cut the darn thing off without cutting my safety chain hook up off either
by: Sandy C01/20/2023
Would’ve been a great little lock had it actually fit in the housing. Too short for mine. Turns out my housing is 3”, not 2”. My bad. Paid $25 for it, etrailer wants $17 for return shipping fee? Pretty lame. So buyer beware, measure your housing first!

Works as advertised. I have a Tesla Y and this is the only one that will fit it the small space provided.
by: Phillip 06/21/2023
I really like this receiver lock and have 3 of this model in total. The machined finish of the lock bar and the locking mechanism with dust cap are well made. The blue (and red on my other hitch lock) accent color is a nice touch.

Solid gear. Well constructed. Easy & convenient security for hitch cover / ball assembly. Look forward to many years of reliable use.

Exactly what I needed for my 2014 Jeep Wrangler! Fits perfectly and does not interfere with the light connector.

Great service from e-trailer. These people are on top of things.

Great alternative for a trailer hitch lock for my 2016 Yukon because of GM's lack of spacing between receiver and seven pin plug to use my lock that had key entering from the horizontal direction.

Still performing as expected. Quality product.

In addition to the hitch and bike rack, a Kuat, I purchased this extremely sturdy lock. It’s thicker than the one which came with the rack, but still has no problem being threaded through the hitch and rack, and adds stability, besides security.
by: Chris E.09/10/2016
Love the product, the service and the very personal touch from etrailer.com! Great to deal with and an overall great experience so far! The lock was for my hitch extender which is also perfect?

Still clicking along after a year of use. No issues.

Love the products, love the support, love the videos and resources for using these. Couldn't be happier with your company, except ONE THING: Shipping.
In ordering two hitches (got one for a friend) both came with the hitches bursting through the cardboard box.
While there was no damage to either (it's steel!) In the second shipment, the including lock pin set got so rattled the boxed set came apart, and the keys literally fell out of the MAIN box during shipping.
Looking at some other customer reviews, this is NOT uncommon.
I understand saving some money on shipping - but your shipping department needs to pack smaller items in a more secure manner within these huge boxes.
It also wouldn't hurt to use some styrofoam on the edges of the hitches that are prone to puncture the boxes, causing an egress point for the smaller insecure items in the box to be lost. Just MHO.
by: Eric 07/07/2022
It just plain works, however due to the right angle locking design it is a little awkward to get the lock head on while you are holding the key in the spinning lock head and at the same time holding the pin in with you other hand as you put pressure on the pin while you are pushing on the locking head AND turning the key while the lock hesd wants to spin...mine will not press on and lock without the key in and turned..3 handed monkey operation
by: Emir07/30/2020
Great product! Solid and sturdy construction, exactly as described. Also, fast processing and shipping! Great company with great products.
by: Olga K05/13/2019
Works great, no issues. This lock makes it easy to access the keyhole. Our previous straight lock took two people and some tricky hand positions to get the key inserted, because of the tight spacing around the hitch reciever and electrical trailer connector on the back of our Audi Q7. I'd recommend this to anyone with a cramped setup around their hitch.
by: Peter07/12/2018
I like the fact that I now only need to carry 1 key set to open two of these locks; but it's a little short to use on my 2014 Toyota Tacoma -- is just won't lock because the shank is about 2-3mm shorter than what I need. Now I have an extra 2" hitch lock that I can't use for what I purchased it for.

This lock will not work with some factory 2 trailer hitches that have an outside width wider than 2-3/4. Toyota OEM trailer hitches have that extra piece on the outside of the hitch and they require a different, longer locking hitch pin such part #1469DAT.

See what our Experts say about this Master Lock Trailer Hitch Lock
- Locking Pins for a B&W Tow & StowThe B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B does not come with a keyed locking pin to secure the shank to the receiver. For that I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Trailer Hitches # 1480DAT. If you want a locking pin for the ball mount, you would need the longer of the two pins that comes with the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492. I have added links to video reviews of each product for you.

- Distance from Center of Hitch Pin Hole to Each Bike on the Reese 3-Bike Rack 63123The manufacturer does not provide these specs so I went out to our warehouse and measured the 3 Bike Hitch Mount Folding Rack w/ Rotating Shank part # 63123 for you. While using this bike rack with the 2" stinger, the distance from the center on the hitch pin hole to the center of the first cradle is 18-1/2", 24" for the middle cradle, and 29-1/2" for the last cradle (furthest away from the vehicle).

The Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch Trailer Hitches, item # 1480DAT, will not fit bike racks with threaded anti-rattle hitch pins.

You can also try a light sanding of the key's teeth with fine grit sandpaper (500-grit wet type is what I recommend) to remove any tiny spurs that could be the cause for the problem. Another effort you might try is with the key out of the lock, position the lock with the opening facing down, and while in this position...

The span of the # 1480DAT hitch pin lock is not long enough to secure the ball mount to the shank.

- Compatability of Hitch Locks With Draw-Tite Class 3 Hitch On My 2006 Honda Pilot EXI checked our records and you purchased the Draw-Tite Class III Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, item # 75599. Either of the hitch locks that you have selected, # 2866DAT and # 1480DAT will work with your 2 inch receiver hitch, in the second hole. The first hole in the receiver of your hitch is designed for a J-Pin Stabilization Pin and Barrel Lockset for 2" Trailer Hitches, and is not designed as the attachment point for the bike rack hitch pin. You will need to install the bike rack hitch pin...
view full answer... - Hitch Lock Recommendation for a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe with Factory HitchSome factory hitches are made thicker than usual. We have not had any issues with the Hyundai factory hitches but you can still measure the outside width of your hitch opening to see if the MasterLock Hitch Lock part # 1480DAT would fit it. The usable span of this lock is 2-3/4 inches.
view full answer... - Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control for Ford F-150Yes, the Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitches do reduce tongue weight by using a spring bar to move some of the tongue weight to your trailer axles, and some to your front truck axle. Probably just what you need to stop your truck from squatting down in the back also. If your trailer dry weight is 8300 pounds then a tongue weight of 10 to 15% would be 830 to 1245 pounds. However nobody I have ever met actually tows a "dry" trailer. You should consider the weight of your trailer when...
view full answer... - Will the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 1480DAT Fit a Class III Hitch on a 2012 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe Master Lock hitch pin lock # 1480DAT should not interfere with the trailer connector on your 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The blue end and the lock end only stick out 1-1/2 inches each on either side so if the connector is 3 inches away from the receiver you will still have 1-1/2 inches of clearance. You will want to have the lock end on the side of the receiver closest to the trailer connector so you can pull the pin out the other side.

The difference is how the spring bars attach to the head. You will also need a Shank # BXW4000 to attach the shank to the head. For a hitch ball you will need either a 2" # A-90 or 2-5/16" # C40008 to match your trailer coupler. A 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 is needed...

view full answer... - Whats Included with the Florida Gators Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover Part CTH4SThe Florida Gators receiver cover # CTH4S won't include a hitch receiver lock or hitch pin and clip, but I certainly would recommend one such as the Master Lock # 1480DAT. The pin and clip is part number # PC3 and will fit 2 and 2-1/2 inch receiver hitches. For 1-1/4 inch receivers the hitch pin and clip # PC2 and hitch receiver lock # e98880 would work great. They both have a pin diameter of a 1/2 inch. I included a few video reviews for you too.
view full answer... - What is Class Rating of Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Trailer hitch pins and receiver locks, such as the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 1480DAT that you referenced, do not typically have a listed Class rating or weight capacity. This is simply because they are built with extreme weight bearing capabilities that can handle any weight that would be put on them (regardless of the trailer hitch's weight capacity). If you see a Class rating listed on a hitch pin or lock, this is simply in reference to the receiver size (1-1/4 inch, 2...

You also need Curt Ball Mount part # C45070 which will give you the rise that you need. If your coupler is the standard height of 17" from the bottom...

- How to Correct Frozen Hitch Lock 1480DAT That Will Not OpenAfter a long period in place a lock mechanism can stick and make it tough to get the key in it, or to get the inserted key to turn. There are a few suggestions I can offer to you to get your lock # 1480DAT open. You can spray a bit of aerosol white lithium grease into the lock. Do not use powdered graphite as it will eventually harden. A small amount can also be applied to the key before it is inserted. The keys themselves sometimes will benefit from a bit of fine (500 grit) sandpaper...
view full answer... - Hitch Lock Does Not Open But The Key Turns I consulted with my contact at the Master Lock company and was advised of the following steps to help resolve your issue with the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock not working # 1480DAT. First ensure you are using the correct key. If you have used any lubricants with the lock, blow it out with canned air. Re-lube the lock with PTFE lube formula (such as Tri-flow). Work your key back into the lock to open it.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Lock and Coupler Latch Lock Keyed Alike for a 2015 Toyota Tundra with Factory HitchI have a solution for you that will NOT require using any additional keys though it may not be what you expect. Since the factory Toyota hitch is so wide there are no lock sets that have a pin long enough. So what I recommend for the hitch lock is to use BOLT lock # BL7023584 which you can code to work with your 2015 Toyota Tundra key. Then you could use BOLT coupler latch lock # BL7025289 and code it to your truck key as well. No new keys, 2 new locks. That's pretty sweet!
view full answer... - Looking Hitch Pin Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F-150 with 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver SpanIt will be a snug fit so if the outside of the receiver on your truck is 2-1/2 inches locking pin # BD580402 should fit. On each end of the pin, on the insides that face the inner span, it is tapered so there will be just enough wiggle room. It might be safer to go with span that is just a little wider like # e98880 that has a 2-5/8 inch span. Then there is an extra long span on # e98881 that measures 3-5/8 inches inside width. If 3-5/8 is too long and you do not want to chance a 2-5/8,...

He confirmed that pins can be used in the ball mount, but they need to be able to span the hitch, have a diameter of 5/8 inches, and be rated for 10,000 pounds. I found the longer of the 2 pins in the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492 to span the width of the Tow & Stow # BWTS10048B.

- Will Master Lock Hitch Lock # 1469DAT Fit Factory Trailer Hitch on 2008 Toyota SequoiaThe Master Lock locking hitch pin # 1469DAT is likely going to fit your 2008 Toyota Sequoia with factory installed trailer hitch. This lock is designed for 2-1/2 inch hitches so it is very long, the inside span that actually goes through the receiver is 3-1/4 inches long. Measure the width of your receiver on the outside (from pin to pin hole) and if less than 3-1/4 inches long it will fit. You likely have a 2 inch trailer hitch. If so then pin # 1480DAT would be a better fit. It has a...

That is not good to hear at all! I have a couple of tips and tricks you can try. WD-40, a de-icer, or Graphite Spray are lubricants that keep water out of locks to prevent freezing. You could also smear some petroleum jelly on the lock, it works the same as WD-40 or the graphite spray. Since the lock is already frozen, you could dip your key into some hand sanitizer. The alcohol from the hand sanitizer should melt the ice after you wiggle it around a bit. Try some of these out and let me know how it works for you and we can go from there.
