Are Locks Available or Bolts on 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier
Question:
I just purchased the etrailer, e98874. I am wondering if there is a replacement bolt/ lock nut for the M16 x 80 item item 14 in the assembly manual that can be locked like the etrailer anti rattle hitch pin, e99047. Reason I’m asking is that the cargo carrier cannot be stolen without the key to the hitch pin, but another way to take off the cargo carrier is by unbolting the M16x80 bolt/nut.

Expert Reply:
The only locking piece that works with the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874 is the Threaded Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin Lock # e99047 that you referenced. There aren't any locks for standard hardware save from using threadlocker like the part # LT37420 which makes hardware near-impossible to remove.
I'm not sure I would use the threadlocker though. Thieves tend to be opportunists so if someone is prepared enough to bring tools to steal your carrier I'm sure they would have some backup equipment so get at the lock anyways. You might consider looping a cable lock like part # e98891 through the safety chain loops on your hitch and then looping it in and around the carrier to further deter theft.
