Can Different Brand Hitch Lock Be Used with Thule Roadway Bike Rack
Question:
Does this work for my 2014 Honda CR-V and the Thule Roadway 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4inch and 2inch Hitches - Tilting, Item # TH912XTR? Or does Thule require the use of its own hitch lock?
asked by: Cece W
Expert Reply:
Thule, along with most other bike rack manufacturers, use unique threads in the shank's hitch pin hole that are designed to only be used with their own hitch pins/locks. Because of this the HitchMate # HE6001 you referenced won't be compatible. For your Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack # TH9058 the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock # THSTL2 will fit and work perfectly.
If you wanted to add a cable lock as well to secure the bikes to the rack you can use the Thule # TH538XT or a standard cable lock of your choosing.
