Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Swagman replacement locking knob. Now, this is going to replace one locking knob for your Swagman roof mounted upright bicycle rack. And on your screen, I am including the model number of that rack that this is going to work with, for your reference. And this is going to, as you no doubt, know, fit over the bolt on the frame clamp of the upright arm assembly.
It does accept a 5/16 of an inch threaded bolt. And this does include two keys. And it's going to work just like the one that you are needing to replace. So, two keys are included. And this knob is exactly like what you're needing to replace.
This is the direct replacement from Swagman. So, what that means for you is you can trust that this is going to fit right in place of your original, whether it got damaged somehow or maybe it got misplaced. You're not gonna have to worry about compatibility issues, fitment issues, or anything like that. So, if you are needing to replace one locking knob for your Swagman roof mounted upright bicycle rack, this is going to be exactly what you need. Well, that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today.
I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

This knob replaces the locking knob on your Swagman roof-mounted, upright bike carrier or can be used in place of a non-locking knob to add security. The knob installs over a threaded bolt on the carrier's frame clamp, and it includes 2 keys.I hade a 20+ year old XPORT hitch mounted bike rack that included locks for the rack to the vehicle and to lock the bikes to the rack. Unfortunately, I lost the keys for it but at least the locks were in the unlocked position. I was unable to find replacement keys for the old locks so I unscrewed the old knobs entirely and they were mounted on 5/16" bolts. These replacement locking knobs fit perfectly. I had ordered two of them for the replacement and even though the keys for the two knobs could have been different from each other, etrailer.com did a great job in sending me two knobs with the same keys, so my old bike rack works like new again. Thanks for the excellent service!
Customer service at etrailer is the best great company to work with
Great part. I've ordered from E trailer many times. They're my go to camper parts company. Thanks
The etrailer's staff was very helpful and the replacement locking knob for my Swagman saved me buying a new bicycle rack.
Used these to replace the lo king knows on my 20+ yr old Swagman bike rack that I head lost the key to. Worked great!
Perfect replacement for my knob which fell off!

Still working great!
This hard to find part works great on my bike rack. It is an exact replacement for the one that broke. I can now haul my bikes with confidence that they are secure and protected from theft.
Worked great
At first it worked great, but then after several months of use one of the locking components inside the knob started to slip. Then a month later another, then another till now 4 of the locking components slip while trying to tighten. If this keeps up soon I will not be able to tighten it at all. Great idea but cheap material.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. I did reach out to Swagman who advised that the knobs are being redesigned to correct this issue. I do not have a current ETA on when the new knobs will be available.
Exactly what I needed
It seems reasonably well-made, but it is not really interchangeable with the Sportrack SR0017. This is because the required bolt is 5/16 - 18 but for some bizarre reason NO 5/16 bolts will have a head that is less than 1/2 inch. They will not fit into this knob. The width of the head internal to this knob is only about 7/16 inch.
Not sure how you'd ever get a bolt to fit in this thing.

This locking knob part # P1030 is designed for Swagman roof mounted upright bike Carriers. It is not a replacement part for SR0017 which is a sport rack locking knob. The SR0017 is no longer available from the manufacturer but we do carry replacement locking knob part # SR0018. SR0018 works with sport rack hitch-mounted, single-arm bike carriers A30603, A30604, SR2513, SR2603, SR2604, SR2703, and SR3512.

Worked well to replace an RV ladder holder for a Winnebago.
Easy ordering, quick delivery and more reasonably priced than the big online store.
BUYER BEWARE: If you are seeing this, you probably learned the hard way. You must lock this on your bike carrier ..Every. Single. Time! Or it will fall off, and the bolt will follow. No replacement on the bolt, so you will be forced to buy a whole new Swagman Bike Carrier!!
Sometimes hard to get the key to engage and often feels like I am bending the key if it is not positioned just right.
The knobs worked out really good! I am using on my roof rack, so make it hard for some body to temper with it, thanks.

I give eTrailer five stars for quick and excellent service .... I had been searching for a locking device that would accommodate a 5/16 bolt for my RV ladder and Bike rack, eTrailer came through, I will be using eTrailer for my future RV needs, thank you eTrailer
Very smooth transaction and good commun ication.
We lost one while driving away and this replacement is the perfect match to our Roof mounted bike. Keep the bikes secure while mounted.
I used this on the ladder for my RV. I needed a slightly different size bolt in it, but knew that when I purchased it. It has worked flawlessly since I bought it.
I love this company! etrailer provides excellent customer service & reliable products!
The perfect fit and solution to a lost locking knob for my Rage Powersports Apex 1 roof rack!
