How to Lock Lock B and W Companion Hitch to Base Rails GM Pucks
Question:
Hi I bought the BandW Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K, from you about a year ago. I would like to buy some locks for the jaw lever and for both sides of the levers that attach the hitch to the truck. I just need to know witch ones will fit. Also would like to leave the the locks in place during towing as well. Need to know if that is possible. Thanks

B and W in the past has told us that a pad lock with a 1/4 inch diameter shaft and 2 inches of usable space like the Master Lock 1-9/16" Wide Solid Brass Body Padlock with 2" Shackle - Qty 1 # ML140DLH with the Companion hitches that attach to the GM rail kits part # BWRKV3775 can be used to lock the hitch to the rails of the truck. You can use this same size to lock the release lever of the hitch as well.
