Speaker 1: Today we'll be taking a look at the Curt Channel Mount Lock Set, part number C23556.Without any locks, this could be you.But with our locks installed, you're safe and secure. This locking system is designed to work specifically with your Curt Adjustable Ball Mount, part number C45900, and C45902. Both locks feature a barbell style clamping mechanism that will work with either the hitch pin or the ball mount pin. Four keys are included, and any key will work with any of the matching locks. There's a dust cover on the end of each lock to keep out dirt and grime. The curved handle on the hitch pin makes for easy removal and installation.They feature a 6-1/4" overall total length.Included in the kit you'll get one hitch pin, one ball pin, and two locks.
These locks are keyed the same, so you have a total of four keys.We will start by installing the hitch pin. Remove the old one, slide in the new one, unlock your lock, slide it on, lock it up, and close the dust cover. Next, we'll install the ball pin. Remove the old pin, slide in the new locking pin. Again, unlock the lock, slide it on, lock it up, close the dust cover, and you're good to go.
Either pin can be replaced with the locking pin to secure your ball mount. Now, with our locks installed, we can feel safe knowing that our ball and our adjustable mount aren't going anywhere.That completes our look at the Curt Channel Mount Lock Set, part number C23556.

This Curt lock set for adjustable channel-style ball mounts is keyed alike, and includes 4 keys.by: David 05/01/2023
As others have stated, these are good locks but it does appear to have a weakness of being able to pop the lock off with a pry bar.
by: Ernesto01/20/2021
The locks are big enough to fit both my hitch and ball hitch. 4 keys included makes it very convenient. Shipped very quickly.

The Locks are working great. Very happy with the product.
by: Joey05/27/2016
This locking pin is definitely long enough for the Curt 14,000 lb adjustable ball mount. In fact, its probably about a half an inch too long. The locking part flops around a bit, I wonder if it would come off with a good smack from a hammer. I'm going to try shoring it up with a few 5/8 inch washers.
by: Jim11/07/2016
Though the product looks to be of good quality, the design in my opinion is poor. When the locking portion is attached to the pin(s), there is a gap between the two. This gives a purchase point to a would-be thief to get a prying tool in there. This may seem nit-picky, but this is a security lock set that is supposed to protect a trailer and hitch ball assembly.
by: Nigel 11/03/2023
Everything fits well and holds tight, order came super quick and the staff here at E trailer are very kind and respectful, showed up 3 days early to the middle of no where Texas, thanks again yall

Seems to be sturdy enough to keep my new Curt 45900 adjustable trailer hitch secure to my vehicle. I like the fact that the keys are all the same. etrailer customer service is great! Thanks to Michelle!

Health issues have prevented me from using it. Hoping 2023 is a better year.

Matched the description. Easy to use!
by: Quarter Master Paul01/12/2023
Bought in fall of 2018. Kept them lubed up and they worked flawless, until the day I left it on my back bumper after taking off the hitch and driving away. But in the two years I did have them. Flawless! I would have gotten them again, but by time I realized what I had did, I needed something now. FYI: Cheap ones don't last as long.
by: Wes 01/27/2020
We carry several different trailers for our adapted sport programs, which meant we needed to get a hitch receiver with an adjustable height. This lock worked perfectly for our situation and would buy it again for our next truck.

Great lock and we have had no issues
by: Bradley09/05/2020
These locks are great, I ordered more for my adjustable hitch, I've had one for about three years or more. They work great, ( I do put a little oil on them from time to time just to make sure)

These types of locks normally dont work. The Curt locks work and still work even now after a year I have not sprayed oil on them, there is no need, they are still in great shape! I highly recommend these locks
by: Tim01/14/2022
I'm thinking I probably just got a bad set of these but I have struggled with the locks ever since they were new. The keys don't want to work! Always have to fiddle and jiggle with the locks for an annoyingly long time to get them to work.

Perhaps some lubrication is needed for a smooth entry. Next time, if you want to try a barrel key like item # BD580400, they are easier to maneuver in my opinion.

by: Grady M. 12/06/2013
I chose these items because they were suggested when I purchased a heavy duty ball hitch. They did not fit the hitch very well and I ended up purchasing a different locking pin for the hitch. The product is a great product and I will keep them for other applications, however, I believe a recommended item should complement the product being purchased not simply related.
by: James06/01/2016
What can I say about the locking pins? They fit. Hopefully the locks won't have to prove themselves, but there isn't a lot more to say about them unless someone tries to steal the ball or mount. Then we'll know how good they are at preventing theft.
by: Terry C.04/10/2017
Locks look pretty good. Little long for me, made spacers so you can't stick prybar
between lock and hitch and pop off. Easy to lock and unlock. Now I can relax when hitch is on truck and not hooked to trailer.
by: Darren08/07/2022
Exactly what I wanted. Heavy duty and fit perfectly. I installed this by myself in about 2 hours . Hitch, wiring harness and bracket.
by: Thad06/21/2015
Good product, fit the 3" hitch on my '15 Chevy2500 with a little room to spare. I'd like to see another 1/4" for the hitch lock, but it did the job well.
by: Robert 10/07/2022
I like the fact that you don't have to use key to lock, push-on to lock
by: Robert A07/02/2016
I ordered these locking pins for my new ball mount trailer hitch so it wouldn't come up stolen some time. I liked the Master Lock pins better but couldn't get two keyed alike.
by: Harold B04/29/2017
Really an amazing outfit. The web page provides all the detail needed to make the right choice on parts so its right the first time. The staff are friendly and caring and the delivery was spot on. etrailer is how web shopping ought to be done. They truly set the standard.

Keeps the Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount from disappearing...:)
by: Levi M.10/15/2014
I read a review buy someone on the site to use these pins with the Curt hitch that I also purchased. Only one of them fit so that part isn't great, but the one that does fit still secures the hitch so that it can't be easily stolen/tampered with.
by: Jess07/03/2019
Really great lock set. I wish that the second lock had a chamfered end on it so you could push it back on without the key in the lock.
by: Larry05/09/2017
I ordered a hitch and locking pins. All were nicely packaged and delivered very quickly.
by: Lyle12/08/2017
This is my second set that I have bought my son took over my first set.They are a great asset to my channel hitch.Both locks are keyed alike less keys to carry a round.And like always etrailer comes through with fast shipping and great prices.Thanks again
by: Jonathan07/24/2018
These have functioned well. Unfortunately because I have a short driveway the ballmount has to come off when I get home, so a lot of on and off for these, but no issues.

- Locks For Curt Channel Style Ball Mount C45900We do have a lock, though the one you mentioned isn't long enough to work with the Curt Channel Style Ball Mount # C45900. What you will need instead is a lock set that is designed specifically for use with this ball mount, and includes both a hitch lock and a lock that secures the hitch balls to the channel; the correct part for this is the following: - Curt Lock Set for Adjustable Channel-Style Mounts # C23556 I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Honda CR-VWe do have a trailer hitch receiver for your 2017 Honda CR-V. I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III -2 inch # 76128. This hitch has the e-coat base and powder coat finish for excellent rust protection. If you will be towing with this trailer hitch receiver, you'll need a few other items, beginning with a trailer wiring harness, part # 118741. For a ball mount, I recommend the # 2753 ball mount and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer...

There won't be anything trimmed that will be visible from the back of your vehicle. Installation does require temporary removal of bumper during installation, but there is no drilling required. I've attached a video of the installation on an older model X3 for you. The installation hasn't changed, nor has the hitch receiver for your 2017 model with M Sport package....

The pair of locks comes keyed alike but there is no option to match the keys between the sets of locks.

The best option for a channel style ball mount is going to be the InfiniteRule Locking Pins item # 34061674-D. This heavy-duty locking pin set has a 42,000 lbs shear strength and can be controlled by a single key. It is made of a rust and corrosion resistant stainless steel and has a built in o-ring that keeps moisture out so the internal functions of the lock don't seize up. This lock...

This proportional controller will apply your trailer brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as you hit the brake pedal in your truck. It has easy to use presets and has an LCD screen to avoid code deciphering of most other brake controllers. It is completely transferable to another vehicle if you decide to move trucks at some point. If you want a more basic controller,...

That being said, when you look at the pictures it's clearly about a 1/2" - 1" wider than the 2" shank it's attached to so you'd want to go with a hitch pin lock like the Curt Lock Set for Adjustable Channel-Style Mounts # C23556, which has 5/8" diameter pins with a 3-1/4" or 4-1/4" span. This will allow you to secure both the shank to the trailer hitch of...
view full answer... - Locking Pins For Adjustable 2 Ball Mount Trailer Receiver HitchThe Curt Slim Adjustable 2-Ball Channel Mount # C46KR has a 5/8" pin that holds the ball to the adjustable rail. The rail itself is 2" wide. I recommend the Curt Lock Set # C23556 as being a lockset for their ball mount. It will give you both pins and a keyed alike lock for the draw bar and ball.
view full answer... - Can Replacement Keys Be Obtained for Curt Lock Set for Adjustable Channel-Style MountsI do have an option for you but there are no replacement keys available for the Curt Lock Set for Adjustable Channel-Style Mounts part # C23556. If the keys can no longer be found then you can either call a locksmith to unlock them or just use a sawzaw/cutoff wheel to remove them which is what I would do since you can't reuse them even if you get it off in one piece. They can then be replaced with the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set part # AM3492.

It is not a fit for the ZR2 models or the Factory Roll Pan bumper. It will fit on trucks without a factory bumper as well. There is no difference in fit for a 2WD version or a 4x4.

We do have some ball mounts like the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10048B which when using a locking hitch pin like # 63232 will secure the shank and ball to the hitch receiver. The Curt Channel Style # C45900 will also secure the ball and mount using # C23556. If you want to secure a coupler to the ball you can use # BD580403. If you really want to secure your chains, you can use a cable lock like...

Failure to put the vehicle in neutral can cause transaxle damage. For a tow dolly, I recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. This dolly will allow you to simply drive onto the ramps, secure the tires in the included wheel nets, and go. You will need a trailer connector...
view full answer... - Keyed Alike Hitch Locks for 3" and 2" ReceiversThe Curt Lock Set for Adjustable Channel-Style Mounts part # C23556 will do the trick. These pins are rated as high as any hitch and ball mount will be. The Longer one has a usable length of 4.25" while the shorter is 3.25" which will be great for your 3" and 2" receivers. While it is not the typical solution it is the only keyed alike option I currently have available. (May 2020)
view full answer... - Locking Hitch Pin Set For Adjustable Ball Mount Requiring 4-1/2" Inner Span on 2 PinsIt sounds like the InfiniteRule Locking Pins # IR39FR will be the best option for your adjustable ball mount. This kit includes two 4-5/8" inner span locking pins and one 3-1/8" inner span locking pin for securing the hitch to the receiver. These 3 locks are keyed alike and have a 5/8" diameter. For the Curt Ball Mount # C45902 you were looking at Curt offers their Lock Set # C23556 but the single long pin they offer is only 4-1/4" inner span.
view full answer... - Compatibility of Curt Locking Pins on Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount C45902Yes, the Curt locking pins # C23556 will work great for the Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # C45902. I was able to go out to the warehouse and confirm the fit for you.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of Curt Locking Trailer Hitch Pin Set # C23556Hitch pins like # C23556 do not have a weight rating or shear strength data because their actual capacities far exceed the abilities of the hitch or vehicle. Basically, the hitch or some other component would fail before the pin even comes close. The pins are 5/8 inch diameter steel. The straight pin has a usable length of 4-1/4 inches and the other 3-1/4 inches. The pins measure approximately 6-1/2 inches long overall.

But the ball does not lock into place. I have included a video that shows how the ball part of the ball mount works. You could go with something like Curt ball mount # D900. Then replace the regular pins with locking pins such as # C23556 to lock the ball portion to the adjustable portion and the adjustable portion to the shank.

I have used these items quite a bit over the last year and I am pleased with them. The only concern I have is that they dont seem to be a very strong locking mechanism. I feel like it wouldnt take much to pry off the lock. But so far no one has stolen my drawbar.
