Today we're going to be taking a look at the Fastway Re-Keying Kit for DTLBM and DTALBM Series Self-Locking Aluminum Ball Mounts, part number DTLBM02RK. This kit is perfect if you've lost your keys or your locks become damaged. It comes with everything you need to replace two locks. Both locks are keyed alike and four keys are included. Now we'll go ahead and show you how to replace them. First, we want to go ahead and remove our old lock cylinders. What we want to do is peel back the silver warning sticker right here.
There's going to be one on each lock. By peeling back the warning label we've located our set screw. We can go ahead and take our included Allen and take that on out. Now, if you've had your lock for awhile it may be a little corroded, so it's not a bad idea to go ahead and hit that with some penetrating oil and let that sit for a little bit. Let's go ahead and take it out.
Make sure it's all the way in. Now with our set screw removed, our lock cylinder should just come right on out. If you're having trouble getting it out, just go ahead and hit it with some more penetrating oil and give it a second to soak in, and just give it a tug and it should come out. Now, inside you can see our cam actuator. This is what allows our lock to operate our pin. What we'll need to do is, we'll take our new lock cylinder and we'll need to line up this portion here so it fits inside the lock actuator.
We'll also need to be sure that the indentation on top, that's what our set screw is going to go into. We'll also need to grab our new dust cap and that's going to go in the bottom indentation here. We'll put that in slightly, make sure our lock cylinder's lined up, and then we'll push them both in together just like that. Now we can take our included tool and our new set screw, and thread that in. Now, you want to be sure that your lock cylinder is pushed all the way in as far as it will go. We'll just get that started.
You also want to be sure not to over tighten. Just get it nice and snug. All this is meant to do is to hold that lock cylinder in place and prevent it from coming out. Now you want to be sure and try it out and make sure that it works. I'd say it works pretty good. Now that we know everything works, we can go ahead and take our new warning label and apply that on top. Perfect. Good as new. Now we can repeat the same process for our second lock cylinder. That's going to complete our look at the Fastway Re-Keying Kit for DTLBM and DTALBM Series Self-Locking Aluminum Ball Mounts, part number DTLBM02RK, .

Both locks are keyed alike to help you cut down on the number of keys you have to carry.It was great. Other than taking awhile but I guess everything has been taking awhile with everything that’s been going on. But the old locks were broken and it took them right out and the new ones went right it!
The rekeying kit came as promised with all appropriate items required to rekey my trailer hitch. Etrailer customer service has been excellent, I will gladly recommend this company to anyone that requires their services or products. I am rekeyed and ready to go!
Didn’t want to buy a whole new hitch these made it easy to fix
I’ve had my tow hitch for a little over 6 years and recently tried to remove the hitch and ended up breaking off the key inside the camlock. Luckily I found etrailers which carried replacement locks. After following the instruction included in the package,I removed my old locks and installed the new locks. Great product!!
I needed a special built in lock for a trailer hitch and etrailer had it. I called to confirm the fit and the individual I talked to was very knowledgeable and within a short time I received it. I highly recommend etrailer. i
The product was as advertised and performed well. The problem comes with the very long delivery time. I live three miles from E Trailers location and delivery took a very long time.
Someone tried to remove my hitch, really screwed up one of the key sets. Luckily it was on the ball set so i could remove it from the receiver. Was about to trash it but i emailed etrailer and received a link to the replacement key sets needed for re-keying. Followed the directions and after letting the set screws soak as directed it took about fifteen minutes to replace both key sets. I have made several purchases from etrailer, this is the first time i have had to use customer service. First rate, recommend them to everyone!!
Randy M - 05/29/2017easy to install,good as new,
One set screw and lock came out just fine. The second one was rusted completely and could not remove either the set screw or the old lock. Not really sure how to proceed ???

After calling and speaking with Lisa D. about the problem I had with my receiver hitch, within minutes she had the problem solved. A new part was on the way, which arrived quickly, and I was able to take care of my beginning issue . My overall experience was 5-star. I would recommend this to anyone!
Worked as it was intended. No problems.
Seth H - 10/03/2020Natalie knew the product and ask the right questions to insure that I received the parts I needed. She followed up on my order and expedited prompt shipping of same. Every aspect of my experience was excellent.
Was able to remove the lock and free the mechanism for turning the key. Will add lots of oil and hopefully keep it working
Mike L - 04/14/2018Great service from etrailer. The itrms arrived before they said they wouldThe new cylinders were easy to install n the directions n video where very helpful.
My hitch had tried to be stolen. The lock set (for locking into the receiver) had been deformed. I was able to do some judicious grinding and removed the damaged lock set. The new sets are an easily R&R. Although the locking pins for the receiver take a bit more effort now all is in good working order. Fast order and shipping was a plus!
Worked great... used this as a replacement since I lost the keys to my hitch and it was locked on the truck... was simple to replace!
Mike - 05/26/2016Product arrived on time, it was well packed in plastic bag. I did have some problems removing the old set screws. The hex head wrench seemed to be made of materiel a little soft. ( Probably my fault for not applying thread release). I had to buy a new one made of harder material. Job is now complete. Good product and excellent response.
Fast shipping exactly what I needed in order to keep from buying another hitch setup, wil do all my shopping with etrailer.com. Don't hesitate on ordering, cause you won't find better service or shipping. Thanks again etrailer for the help.
Just what I needed for my hitch. Easy installation and works well. Fast shipping would buy again when I lose keys.
Two locks and two keys came in kit for replacement. Replacing because the tumblers in one of the locks failed. Replacing both locks is due to having both locks keyed the same.
Excellent replacement when keys are lost, easily and conveniently swap with step by step instructions.
1 of my locks had stopped working, and I was unable to take the key out, nor fit the hitch into the receiver. Spoke to Bridget and she said this is the fix. Easy to use product, simple instructions. Thanx.
Great customer service and fast shipping, parts did not help much though. I had to drill out set screws and Redrill and tap . Locks worked great after all that.
