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.

You can always identify a fellow road warrior that has been “Bolted”! That distinctive red and black locking mechanism labels that vehicle owner. He knows quality and simplicity!

Great product. Works well and seems to hold up even where I live on the coast of Washington. Salt air is brutal on everything here. The only problem with the lock is you have to "remember" the key is the security key in you key fob. Spent 30 minutes looking for the key only to remember it was in the fob.

Looks and feels strong. Quality rubber on lock end and the lock works great with my key. I did add a piece of rubber hose on the non lock end to prevent rattle while on the road and make the whole thing look more complete.
I recommend this hitch lock.

I love the Bolt lock that keys to my truck key. However, the angled side of the hitch pin is wearing an angle into the truck's hitch. I need to stop using it so it doesn't ruin my OEM hitch.

Im 7 states away from my tow vehicle at present, so I cant send a picture. The angled end of the lock has worn away the edge of hole on the vehicles OEM hitch receiver. Instead of the hole in the receiver having a hole with a sharp 90 degree corner at the hole, it now has a 45 degree edge to the hole. I am attaching a sketch of a cross section of the hitch receiver that I hope will get the idea across. Im not much of an artist. Because of the wear on the hitch receiver, I am looking to replace the Bolt hitch with one doesnt have the angled section on it.

I have spoken with an installer and they have confirmed with me that when it comes to OEM hitches, the manufacturers will tend to make the sidewalls of the receiver thicker than on aftermarket hitches. Because of this, with you having a 3 inch hitch, it makes sense why there would be some wear on the outside of the hitch. Unfortunately, we do not have any BOLT hitch locks that have a longer span than this lock you ordered [BL7023585]. So, any of the locks that we carry, will not have the same locking mechanism that fits to the ignition key. However, we do have a hitch lock that has a 4 inch span [just slightly bigger than your hitch lock] that is available for purchase.

I like the idea of not having an extra key to keep track of which is why I selected the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock. However, I am not planning to leave the adjustable ball mount in the truck all the time in the hope that it will be in good enough condition to use in the next truck. So, this receiver lock keyed to the truck will likely stay with the truck when it gets traded.

This trailer receiver hitch is excellent. After buying two different locking products from two different brands, that coincidentally had exactly the same key, its very reassurning to know this lock is tied to my ignition key. Very easy to set up, very easy to remove and put back on. All in all a great product. Highly recommended.

This item was purchased to replace other locking pins that rusted and bent in the receiver. I have a three inch receiver with a two and a half inch reducer. This lock feels heavier and more solid than others I’ve tried, so I’m hoping it proves more durable. So far it is performing quite well. I really like having it keyed to my ignition. I am looking forward to switching a couple more locks on my truck over to this system.

Over the years I have had a number of receiver locks with the same problem, another key. These keys generally get misplaced and the lock is cut off. The BOLT lock is keyed to my truck key which I always have with me. Easy to program the lock to the key and it has not failed me yet. Recommend this lock.

These locks are pricey, but SOOOO WORTH IT!!! I have several BOLT locks for different applications, and it is *SUPER* convenient that all of them unlock with my truck ignition key. I never have to worry what I did with the key for this or that lock, because I obviously have my truck key with me when towing my trailer.
If I ever sell this truck, I will include my locks in the sale, and buy them again for my next truck's key.

This is the third hitch lock I've owned, each for different trucks. Having it keyed the same as my truck makes it extremely convenient and mitigates having to add another key to my keychain. The only downside is having to purchase a new one each time I purchase a new truck, but as often as I install and uninstall my hitch, the cost is well worth it. I know my load is secure, whether from bumps in the road or thieves in the night.

I really and pleased with this lock. It couldn't be easier to key. I'm not worried about having my $300 weigh safe hitch disappear now. The lock portion is quite large and is in the area where the safety chain hook connects to my hitch. It could be an issues with large hooks. Overall, I am happy with this lock.

Works perfectly. Easy instructions. Super easy to use my ignition key to unlock and lock the unit.
Life just got easier (one less key on my keychain).
I will also use this receiver lock on the front Ecohitch PN 306-X7904 on my 2019 Super Duty 6.2 gas logging truck that I bought from etrailer back in 2023. Both items make my life easier.
Well done etrailer!

Very well-thought out technology... first key used is the only key afterwards. Read the BOLT web site - very cool mechanical process.
Be sure to get the right kind of lock - center-cut (normal) vs side-cut (only one edge has ridges). The BOLT site shows all the key types each lock supports.

See what our Experts say about this Bolt BOLT Locks
- Does the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Part # BL7023585 Have a Weight CapacityThe BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # BL7023585 is rated for use on Class III, IV, and V trailer hitch receivers. The weight capacity for this is 16,000 lbs.
view full answer... - Recommended 3-Ball Tow and Stow Compatible with Custom BumperWe do have the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5.5" Rise - 10K - Browning # BWTS10048BB which has a pin hole farthest from mounting block dimension of 5-5/8 inches. Another option with the same depth measurement is the # BWTS10047BB which has a 3 inch drop. These are the only B&W hitches that have the 3-Ball option that will fit your bumper. I recommend the hitch lock # BWTS51234 to secure your investment.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Lock that Fits a 3 Inch Trailer Hitch ReceiverThe pin length on BOLT lock # BL7023585 won't be long enough for a 3 inch trailer hitch. Right now they do not make one that will be long enough but who knows what the future holds. If the 3 inch hitches take off in popularity then we might see some accessories like BOLT locks made for them.
view full answer... - Does BOLT Locking Hitch Pin Have Weight CapacityHey Douglas, the BOLT hitch locks like the part # BL7023585 do not have a weight capacity or shear rating because they actually don't typically bare the weight of the trailer as the ball mount pins itself into the hitch tube and that's what pulls the trailer. We've sold quite a few of these also and have not had any issues with them shearing off.
view full answer... - Does BOLT Trailer Hitch Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # BL7023585 Have Capacity for 10k TrailerYes, the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # BL7023585 that you referenced would be strong enough for towing a 10,000 lb travel trailer like you have. Hitch pins like this don't normally have stated weight capacities as they typically do not carry the weight of the trailer like it might appear. The tongue weight of the trailer typically pushes so hard down in the hitch tube that the friction alone holds the ball mount in place and not the hitch pin.

I recommend using the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches - Codes to Ford Side-Cut Key # BL7023585, since it codes directly to your vehicle key and can be used on 2", 2-1/2" (Class III, IV, and V), and 3" trailer hitch receivers with a 5/8" pin diameter.

This ball mount fits your 3" receiver without any adapters needed. It includes 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball sizes giving you the ability to pull most all trailers. It has a weight rating of 21,000lbs and the ability to be flipped around and stored on your truck without hitting your shin on the ball mount when you are walking around the truck without a trailer attached.

The BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BL7023585 that you have is permanently code to only 1 specific vehicle/key. They cannot be re-coded or re-keyed, the locks will only work with the original vehicle/key. Unfortunately, you would need to get new locks that are compatible with your new vehicle.

This will key to the key for your F-250 so that you do not have to worry about additional keys. If you change trucks often the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98881 may be a good option as the BOLT locks can only be keyed once.

I have included the measurements below if you would like to confirm those with your hitch on your 2021 Ford F-350. There are also many reviews on our website for it confirming that it does fit the 3" receiver on the F-350 with no modification.

- Will BOLT Hitch Locks Cause Wear on Hitch Pin HoleBOLT does not have a version of their hitch locks that has a straight end. That's interesting that yours is rounding out the hitch pin's hole. There really shouldn't be enough friction between the hitch pin and the hitch pin hole to cause that type of wear. In general the hitch pin does not actually bear any of weight of the trailer since the tongue weight pins the ball mount into the hitch so well that no movement is allowed. To reduce movement which would cause potential wear an immobilizer...

- Recommended B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount for Ford F-250 TrucksFor your standard height trucks and trailers, the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10048B will work very well for both of your trucks. This will not only work well with all 5 of your trailers but will also give you great ground clearance. If you had a lift on your truck, then I'd recommend the 7 inch drop # BWTS10049B, but it won't be needed on a non-lifted truck and will give you less ground clearance. The 2 inch shank on the # BWTS10048B...

This would not be a standard key design that would work for other people who may have the same lock.

- Bolt Hitch Locks that Fit 2002 Ford F-150 and 2021 Ford F-250For the 2021 Ford F-250 the correct Bolt hitch lock is the part # BL7023585 and for the 2002 it's the part # BL7018447.
view full answer... - Can the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Locks Be Re-Coded To Multiple KeysThe BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Locks like part # BL7023585 can only be coded to one ignition key. Therefore, you can't transfer it from vehicle to vehicle. This would allow anyone with the same truck to steal hitch pin lock and whatever you had attached to the trailer hitch if that were the case. Instead, you will want to use a standard hitch pin lock like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # C23025. I have attached a full list of options for you as well.
view full answer... - Can BOLT Locking Hitch Pin be Keyed Alike with Thule KeyThe BOLT locks, like part # BL7023585 you referenced, are only designed to be keyed alike to the ignition keys of various vehicles so unfortunately you won't be able to accomplish that. Since it looks like you're needing a locking hitch pin I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98881 instead. This will fit both 2" and 2-1/2" receivers, it is double chrome plated for extra corrosion resistance, and it is made in the USA.

The ball mount has a 6" drop or 4" rise depending on how you place it in the receiver. You will need a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank like the Curt 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40085. I recommend the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BL7023585 to secure the ball mount in your receiver. This will allow you to match the receiver lock to the key on your F-250 so that you will not have...
view full answer... - What is Usable Span of BOLT Hitch Pin Lock for 2-1/2 inch HitchThe usable span of the Bolt Hitch Lock part # BL7023585 that you referenced is a little over 3-1/2 inches. If you check out the picture I attached you'll see all of the dimensions of the lock. This lock is intended for use with 2-1/2 inch hitches like you have so it should work well for you.

- Hitch Reducer and Heavy Duty Hitch Lock for 2019 F250The Brophy Hitch Reducer # HR26 is a fine choice to fit to your Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV.

Instead, the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches - Codes to Toyota Key # BL7023584 would potentially be what you need. It is a fit for SR/SR5 models and yours key would need to look like one of the keys in the accompanying photo.
