This 5/8" diameter receiver lock codes to your Ford F-250 Super Duty's ignition key. Made of automotive-grade materials and nearly impossible to pick or bump, this corrosion-resistant lock helps keep your ball mount safe and secure.

Specs:
Note: BOLT locks permanently code to only 1 vehicle. They cannot be re-coded or re-keyed.
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 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.

BOLT locks help to eliminate extra keys. If you have the tow vehicle key, then you have the key for the hitch.
Much easier to keep track of the locking key with these. Using the vehicle’s ignition key makes one place less I have to look! The cover fits tightly so I don’t worry about dust or the weather messing with the tumblers. We have one for every vehicle with a hitch …
I love my bolt lock. I had traveled from the Midwest to the East Coast and I didn't worry at all about losing my wheelchair or bracket.
Quality product. Especially loved the fact it is unique to my car key. I definitely would buy this again.
Great lock have these on both my trucks and never have lost the key like most of my other locks
I have multiples of these for locking various cables and hitches to my vehicle. It is the best thing since sliced bread. It keeps my key bring down to just a couple of keys instead of 7 or 8 different lock keys for various locks. You can also pick them up in a shackle style lock as well.
I like the dust proof water resistant cap the best because it hasn’t broken off and the lock hasn’t rust stuck.
One key for every lock, from boat, utility trailer, locker room to the tool shed! Amazing product, thank you.
This locking pin looks even better in person, heavy duty, and also like that I can lock it then push it onto the pin. Highly recommend!
Great product, One key security on your two vehicle. Already had one, have a back up.
I have not had one issue this pin! And better yet no one has stolen my hitch. It is fantastic not having to have another key to carry around or lose. It came super fast (as I recall). Opened it, I sorted my key gave it a twist and I now always have the key with me. It stays in my pickup or I stalled and so it is always ready to go when I am.
Works great on a pickup but lock cylinder is quite large. It is 3 1/8" long and 1 5/8" wide so if you have a Ford SUV like an Escape you might want to measure available space before ordering. You would need about 6 3/4" of available space to be able to insert the key into the lock. Nice to have only one key for my F-350 that has an lockable auxiliary tank/toolbox combo and is double pulling a fifth wheel with a dog trailer behind it.
I don't know what to say except this is a great receiver pin/ lock. Other receiver pins either don't lock or you have to keep track of keys. Then if they do lock, weather corrode the lock. The bolt lock solved this. The key is my car key. I can't lose it. And the oring, on the pin and rubber cap keep the lock sealed . Highly recommend this!

Still awesome to have a lock with a key that virtually cannot be lost
It's great to not add yet another key to the RV keyring! This is a great idea, BUT the locking portion is large. Depending on how your RV's hitch and safety cable attachment points are configured, this may not allow enough space for your safety cable hook to attach to the RV, unless you're using fairly lightweight cables that attach with S hooks.

Still a happy buyer a year later! If you need a locking hitch pin, get one of these. You wont be disappointed.
I have used this for a year now for about 6 or 7 trips. Works well. Setting the key to my ford truck was easy and I like not having to carry and extra key for the lock.
This item was a little hard to work with. As my truck is push start with a "fob" key it didn't work with the lock. I actually had to used an old key I had from a 1975 jeep to make the lock work as intended. Even then it was difficult to use. Fortunately for me it will very rarely need to be unlocked.
works great with ignition key-thanks
I own several of these for multiple vehicles. I use them to secure costly hitches and winches to trucks. This is a great product!
Works great! Inserted my Ford key into the slot and now it’s keyed to my truck. Easy install and now my hitch is protected from thieves!
These are excellent locks, vehicle keyed specific to yours. I highly recommend these. I give as gifts, but also have one for my truck.
Strong, sturdy, looks good and no extra keys on my key ring.

Awesome!!! Highly recommend
Very easy to set up with vehicle key and seems to be well made. My only con thus far is that the head is big and partially blocks where my tow chain clips to on the hitch. It still works but you have to get it just right.
I can’t tell you how many locks I’ve had to cut off because I couldn’t find my hitch lock key. This is a life saver. Easy, convenient and good quality
I’ve received my Bolt Trailer Receiver Lock in a timely manner. I bought one about 13 years ago for my boat trailer and have loved the ease of its use and being able to key it to the truck key so I don’t have to look around for the key! I now got one for my horse trailer!. I bought a couple extra to leave in my truck hitch and my other vehicle that can also be keyed to the day lock!
Another great product from "Made in China". The hitch extension is made with heavy gauge metal, the powder-coated paint job is heavy duty and resists scratches. The additional hitch receiver serves not just to receive another hitch such as a bike rake, but also as a step for me to step onto the towing truck bed. Overall it is a very well designed and well made product, definitely worth the price.
I LOVE that I can use my truck key to unlock this and it seems very sturdy too. I feel like the rubber key hole cover might break off some day though and when it's installed, the locking mechanism is so wide that it interferes with the safety chain hook. But I highly recommend!
The BL7018447 bolt works great the Blylock jam nut lock for my 5th wheel sundowner trailer did not fit. had to modify the washer to fit the jam bolt. Hole in washer was too small. overall very happy with products. Had to return one part and got gouged on the refund. Thanks
