Replacement Lock for Diversi-Tech Ball Mount # DTALBM6600

Question:

I have a DT 6inch hitch and my key for my ball is froze up. How do I tell what model it is? I noticed you have a re-keying kit for DTALBM and DTLBM? How can I tell if this re-keying kit will work for my hitch??

If you have not already tried a white lithium grease spray on the frozen lock on your Diversi-Tech Ball Mount # DTALBM6600 this would be a good first step. If you can remove the ball mount from the truck, that will help to allow the lubricant to do its job.

Try applying the spray-in lubricant with the ball mount in one position and allow it to soak in overnight. Then reposition the ball mount and re-apply the lubricant. Again let it soak it. Repeat this process a few times with the ball mount in various positions. This will let the lubricant reach as many internal surfaces as possible.

If the locks do not free up then you will need to install new lock cores by using kit # DTLBM02RK.
