Today we're going to be taking a look at the Blue Ox Base Plate and Receiver Lock Kit with Four Locks. That's going to be part number BX88177. This four lock kit is perfect for securing your entire flat tow set up, all the way from your receiver hitch on your RV to the base plate on your vehicle. All of our locks are keyed alike and they do come with two sets of keys for each lock. Each one of our locks is going to feature a nice rubber dust cover, which is going to keep the dirt, debris, and moisture from getting into the lock cylinder. Our locks have a steel construction and they have a chrome plating, so they'll look nice for a long time. Now that we've gone over some of the features, let's show you how easy it is to use them. We already have one of our 5/8 locks securing our high low adapter to our RV's hitch. Let's show you how we get the other ones installed.
Our kit's going to come with two 5/8 locks and two 1/2 inch locks. The 5/8 locks are going to secure our hitch or our high low adapter and our tow bar to the RV. Our 1/2 inch locks are going to attach our base plate to our tow bar itself. We can start by removing the pinning clip from the tow bar on our high low adapter. Then if we take our lock and the supplied key, we can flip open the dust cover on our lock, turn it a quarter turn, and we can remove the lock. Now all we need to do is push it through our adapter and through the tow bar.
Then we can push the lock all the way in and turn the key, remove it, and push the cover on. Now we can move over to the tow bar. Now if we get ready to hook up our tow bar onto our base plate, we can then take our locks for the 1/2 inch, remove the dust cover and again, quarter turn of the key and we can remove the lock. These are designed to fit perfectly through our tow bar and through the base plate. We can insert our lock and we can take the end, push it all the way on and turn the key, which will lock it into place. Now we can put our dust cover on to keep any dirt and debris and moisture from getting in the lock cylinder.
We can go ahead and do the same thing on the other side. With all the locks in place, now we can hit the road and know that everything is secure. That will finish up our look at the Blue Ox Base Plate and Receiver Lock Kit with Four Locks, part number BX88177.

I have recommended etrailer to several of my neighbors and friends that have RV’s or trailers since doing business with them. I do not normally do this, nor do I write a review for products that I purchase. This time I felt that I needed to repay to professionalism and personal experience I encountered with etrailer. I recently wanted to move from dolly towing to flat towing behind my Class C. Robert S assisted me down to the final detail and made recommendations on everything I needed. I was so impressed they also did the install and did a great job. David even walked me through the process of flat towing when I picked up my RV and Jeep. Have you ever referred to people at a large company on a first name basis before? Bottom line I highly recommend etrailer. 796793
Just got the pins. As advertised and very quick shipping. Can't wait to try out when this bug is over with. 779675
The locks with the tow bars have worked great. Thanks to the great customer service we have a system that has served us well. 765495
This is my second set of these locking tow bar pins. I change them out every 3 or 4 years, depending on mileage. My current set is beginning to show signs of wear at 15,000 miles, so better safe than sorry. I have not had any issues with the locks, just insert and turn the key, pull the lock off the pin. To replace the lock, turn the key as you place the lock on the pin until the lock seats, then rotate the key back until it will allow removal. Pull on the lock to be sure that it's properly seated - wouldn't want to loose it and have the pin work out! Only issue that I've had is with the dust covers. Easy to loose. Going to try some glue on the new ones, but I doubt that it will stick to the chrome finish. etrailer service was as good as it always is! Product arrived boxed, package undamaged and on time. Thanks to everyone at etrailer. 750264

Easy to use, good quality! 739823
Just received these locks and they work just as I expected. They are a bit pricey but I live only needing one key for all locks! My only complaint is that I paid for 3 day shipping and it took five days from the date it was shipped to get to me. I got it in time before I leave on my trip so no harm, no foul, except the added expense I paid for three day shipping... 692654

William - 06/23/2020Looks to be good quality, order was delivered on time 641910
Our experience with etrailer started with the customer service team. They were excellent in helping us with which products we should purchase for towing a jeep behind our Motorhome. The installation/service department was equally helpful. Everything went smoothly and we are still happy with the towing package one year later. We have also bought other products from etrailer since our first experience. Thank you for the superb service! 606969
Works as expected but I would improve the rubber key covers as they fall off often when handling. 603478
Very happy with etrailer.com. Our sales person, Sheila was very knowledgeable and helped us select the right products for our installation .Everything arrived in 2 or 3 days.

Thumbs up! 540611
As expected and nice quality. Wish the larger one would fit my 2 ½ inch hitch. Too short 528748
Thank you. Great price. Super fast ship. Great quality. 501325
Greg was extremely helpful! Everything was exactly what I needed. I use etrailer for all my towing needs and recommend it to all my RV friends. Thanks for all your help! 501114
I purchased the locking pins in lieu of using the stock Clevis Pin/Snap Ring Retention Pin combination to secure the tow bar arms to the vehicle baseplate. Prevents tampering and the posiblity of snap ring retention pin failure. 498689
Keith L - 04/20/2019They locked on easily. They look great and hopefully will perform as advertised also. Thank you very much. 498358
Jeffrey - 04/19/2019As always the products for etrailer.com are quality products. I ordered the above to lock my hitch receiver, tow bar, and utility platform to our coach. etrailer.com was the only place I could find with same key for all three locks. 485316
I purchased these locks to replace my snap ring retainers. I like the fact they are all keyed alike so I can keep a set of keys on the coach and in the car. These locks are a secure way to attach the tow bar to the baseplate and I no longer g-have to make sure I insert the snap ring in the correct position or having the snap ring catch my finger when it accidently closes. 463991
