Key Compatibility
BOLT Locks for Convenience and Security
Are you tired of carrying a bulky ring of keys - for your hitch lock and coupler lock, your pickup cover or trailer door, and all the various padlocks securing your equipment? Tired of fumbling for the right key or having to replace a lost key?
BOLT (Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology) has solved that problem by designing a line of locks that can operate with a key you already have handy - your vehicle ignition key.
When you insert your own key into the cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down until they are matched exactly to that key. The first time the key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. When the key is turned again, it will rotate to the unlocked position.
BOLT for Commercial Applications
BOLT is particularly useful in commercial applications. Imagine being able to send a crew without having to sign out multiple keys for a work truck, trailer, hitch pins, and equipment locks. With BOLT, the vehicle key becomes a master key. It opens all those locks and you no longer have the hassle of getting to a work site only to find that you've brought the wrong keys.

Not needing to carry yet another key on my key rign is great. I've told everyone with a truck they're the best out there

I have used this product before on my 2019 ford f350 . It is nice to have a lock with same key as my truck. I now have a 2023 ram 3500 and once again I have purchased this lock Thanks your product is top notch.
by: Daniel10/06/2023
After a year of owning 2 of these locks. One works fine the other is very hard to unlock. Once locked they work guy but getting the one unlock is a pain.

2016 Dodge Ram Pickup
Works great on the new 2-1/2" hitch that came on my 2016 Ram 2500 4x4. Super easy to key lock to my Ram key. Trying to eliminate as many keys as I can.
Was a little bigger than I thought, but still clears the two chain hooks. Solid and beautifully finished.
As you can see in the picture, I also got the matching BOLT coupler lock.
by: Jack 07/03/2023
Good lock, easy to use, and I like the fact that it works with your own car key.

I have not yet had the oppertunity to use this product, but my experience with etrailer.com has always in the past been excellent.
by: Whistle W.12/04/2019
Now after owning this hitch lock for a year I can honestly say that I have replaced all of the locks on my other vehicles with these locks. No more lost keys, no more searching through every inch of the car. Somethings just work and this is one of them. If you like to streamline your life and lose the nonsense this is your kinda gear. Makes life a little easier.

Wanted a lock that you can only use one key, and this one works great. Also didn't want anybody stealing my tow hitch cover I also bought from etrailer.
by: Michael10/11/2023
Super convenient keyed to my vehicle’s entry key.
by: Russell Chadwell01/13/2021
Well this receiver lock is so easy to key with my jeep key and looks great to. You don’t have to search through all of your keys on your key ring to find one particular key unlock your receiver Bolt is the way to go.
by: Lyle 08/28/2023
Slick as heck. Definitely will buy again when I get another truck!
by: Richard 07/27/2021
I had one of these on my other vehicle for about two years. It never got stuck and worked fine with the ignition key in all midwest temperatures during the year. I just got another one for my new pickup. To buy a product again, has to say something about the reliability of this product. Very easy to code the lock with your ignition key.
by: Donald 08/23/2023
Sturdy and key is on the end, exactly what i wanted and need
by: Tatiana09/27/2022
These are the BEST!!! SO easy to put on and off since I don't leave the hitch on my truck all the time. And I LOVE the fact that it molded to my truck key so I do NOT need to carry an additional key with me!

Good hitch receiver lock on first impression. Easily coded to my 2021 Ram 2500 key which I was curious about. Time will tell how this holds up, it looks and feels like it will.

I would now give this 5 stars for how its held up. Still works like new. I only wish they had more compatibility between makes of vehicles, as I wish they made one for Subaru.

Sturdy, well made, convenient with to use with vehicle key.
by: Jeffrey 03/24/2023
Excellent company to order from! Excellent communication with shipment status and they always kept me informed on all happenings with the order. This product is extremely easy to program for your key and it was operational 30 seconds after I opened the package! If it lasts for even a few years it will have been worth the price of purchase.
by: Clayton 04/01/2023
Excellent lock. Makes it so you do not need to have any extra keys that you might forget.
by: Anoulath12/30/2022
Great product, you will never look for your hitch keys again. Thanks Bolt

I love these hitch pins. I first saw this type on my work truck and I recently bought a new hitch and want to protect my investment so I bought this and it works great.

view full answer... - Do Hitch Pins and Locks have Weight CapacitiesHitch pins and locks don't actually bear any of the weight of a trailer or accessory so they don't have weight ratings. The only weight capacities you need to consider are for the tow vehicle, the hitch, ball mount, and hitch ball. The tongue weight of a trailer puts so much downward force on the ball mount that it binds it up so well in the hitch that the hitch pin doesn't actually have any force put on it. The hitch or ball mount would fail before the hitch pin would.
view full answer... - Bolt Custom Hitch Lock Will Not Unlock Using Key for 2015 Ram 2500According to Bolt if you are using the emergency key from the FOB for your 2015 Ram it could be hard to get enough leverage to turn the key and unlock the hitch lock. Jiggling while turning may help to unlock the lock with the emergency key. They lock codes itself to the key when you insert the key, turn it once, and then remove the key. If you inserted the pin before removing the key that could have affected the tumblers inside and permanently coded it wrong. Since they cannot be re-coded...
