Demonstration of the Deadbolt Cable and Ballmount Lockset


This is a cable and ballmount lock set for 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers. What it does is attach to your bicycle rack through the receiver and also the cable lock attaches your bike to the receiver and the bikes themselves. We have our example of a typical hitch and bike rack. What we'll go over is what parts of the bicycle rack they replace. First we'll demonstrate how the ball mount lock works. The lock will replace the pin here and it's a pretty simple device. Basically you hold the key stationary, you take the black part here and spin it. It comes apart and you just replace your hitch pin and reverse the procedure until it stops and then back it out with a quarter to half turn. The key comes loose, then you put the cap back on the lock, and your bike rack is secured onto your receiver hitch. Going next to the cable lock, it works the same way as a receiver lock does.

Also in this case you use the key more like a screwdriver to make it come apart. Once you have your cable freed up, unravel it and you simply run it through the chain loop, behind the bike rack, and through your frames. Then back down, taking up slack anyway you can, maybe wrap around the bike rack itself, and then you put the two ends back together. You re-attach the lock and again the key works like a screwdriver. Now all three pieces: your hitch, the bikes and the bike rack are all secure by one cable. We'll start pointing out a few details about this assembly here, the cable is 5/16 thickness by 10 feet long and is plastic coated. The locks are patented and pick proof and resistant to corrosion and clogging. Both locks come keyed alike so one key does both and they both are double layered chrome which resists rusting for a very long time. This combination is intended for 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers, as you can tell we used a class I receiver hitch. It will also work for a class II receiver hitch and virtually any bike rack that will fit in there. That cinches it for part # 6148, the cable and ballmount lock set for 1-1/4 inch receiver hitches from Deadbolt.
