Is Threaded Hitch Pin on Thule Bike Rack Compatible With Snug-Tite Hitch Lock

Question:

I have a Thule Rack with the threaded pin. I want to buy a lock for it but am not sure which lock body fits this pin. The diameter of the smooth part of the pin is 0.367 in. Which lock body fits this diameter pin? It would be helpful if your website had measurements of parts like this length and diameter Thanks.

Your question certainly makes sense but the issue is you unfortunately can't use the threaded hitch pin that came with your rack with a replacement lock body of the Snug Tite hitch lock as they are not compatible with each other.

What this means is that you would need the entire assembly, which would be the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 which comes with its own pin. For example, the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR comes with a threaded pin, but does require the entire Sung Tite lock.
