This coupler pin lock ensures that your trailer is securely hitched and helps keep it safe from theft while being stored. With this lock, you won't have to carry an additional key - it codes to your Cadillac CTS's ignition key.

Note: BOLT locks permanently code to only 1 vehicle. They cannot be re-coded or re-keyed.
Are you tired of carrying a bulky ring of keys - for your hitch lock and coupler lock, your pickup cover or trailer door, and all the various padlocks securing your equipment? Tired of fumbling for the right key or having to replace a lost key?
BOLT (Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology) has solved that problem by designing a line of locks that can operate with a key you already have handy - your vehicle ignition key.
When you insert your own key into the cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down until they are matched exactly to that key. The first time the key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. When the key is turned again, it will rotate to the unlocked position.
BOLT is particularly useful in commercial applications. Imagine being able to send a crew without having to sign out multiple keys for a work truck, trailer, hitch pins, and equipment locks. With BOLT, the vehicle key becomes a master key. It opens all those locks and you no longer have the hassle of getting to a work site only to find that you've brought the wrong keys.

This coupler pin lock ensures that your trailer is securely hitched and helps keep it safe from theft while being stored. With this lock, you won't have to carry an additional key - it codes to your vehicle's ignition key.It's nice to have just one key for all the locks connected with my boat trailer and spare tire.
Works perfectly even after a year of weather exposure. convenient to not have extra keys for the trailer.
It works as expected and the best part it does work with my truck's key. I have a 2015 Silverado 2500HD.
Nice not to have extra keys
I like having only one key for all my trailer locks, (I have 4). The 4 star rating is because I believe everything can improve. I hope that the key lock stiffness of these locks will lessen with use as well as sliding the lock on to the pin. I am glad that this is available.
BOLT locks have been a mainstay for me, only having one fail (which the vendor replaced at no charge). For the coupler lock, I've been using this for quite a while ... and it's excellent... buying this as a replacement only because someone tried to take my trailer one night using a screwdriver to try to break the lock ... the lock was damaged but it did not give up the prize, and the replacement is just me being cautious, not wanting to rely on a damaged lock.
Works great! Does exactly what it is supposed to do and is set to use the vehicle back up key.
What a slick setup. Lock and pin all in a line and rubber cover over keyhole. Since it uses my Toyota tailgate key it is easier than fumbling for yet another key to get ready to hook up a trailer.
Works great, no extra key to find
What could be better than a lock that keys to your ignition key! Although etrailer.com does not explain that the lock keys to your key the first time you use it, it does! I thought that anyone with a GM key could then unlock it but this is not the case. While I don't think it would take much to bust this off with a crowbar it does serve two purposes very well. It makes it very easy to secure the locking mechanism in place while towing and not towing to prevent trailer theft. It also acts as a visual theft deterrent. If someone is really determined to steal your trailer they will, this will slow your average criminal by a little bit. Be sure to order the correct one for your key!
Thanks again etrailer.com for your excellent service!
Liked the Bolt receiver lock. For security while traveling decided to tryout the Bolt coupler lock. Bit pricey, but the convenience of single key operation for all locks might be worth it. The rod with is relatively thin due to the indentation where the locking mechanism catches. Less dents and longer solid section might make for a bit stronger lock. Require the thief a few more saw strokes or more oomph with the bolt cutter.
The +: Single key operation. Simple and functional. Materials and manufacturing seem sold. Time will tell.
The -: Relative cost. No dust cover for key opening. Just gated like most quality locks. JMHO, not designed for leaving an unattended trailer.
Bolt hitch and trailer locks are a great idea since they key using my vehicle key. Feel well built and solid. Only thing I question is the coupler lock does not have a protective cover. Otherwise great.
Really like that it keys to the vehicle instead of having a separate key for each lock. Pairs perfectly with our Bolt hitch pin lock.
Worked as advertised. Looking forward to the added security and convenience it will provide us in the upcoming camping season
Worked as advertised. Plenty long enough for all hitches.
I've been buying from etrailer for years they have the best customer service. One key for all my trailer locks , Simplifies things.
I still have my trailer so this must be working or they are to lazy to cut it.
It’s really great to use devices that are keyed to your vehicle
works good, used for my pop up camper
Secure and safe
Product worked great! Customized to my GMC truck key with no issues!
Best lock I have found, like the keyed to the truck ignition key
Excellent concept, and a great, solid product to accomplish it.
Works perfect. Exactly what I needed.
This is just exactly what I was expecting and needed.

I still like all of the Bolt products and am still using them. I would say that I do not recommend the Bolt padlocks as while they have the same great key setup I think the shackle is too long, too thin, and too exposed for easy removal by a small grinder or bolt cutter. Otherwise great stuff. I do wish they actually made a hockey puck style padlock instead
