Most Popular Rack Specific Locks for Car

I found this product to be as advertised. Solid, well made. I chose this one, because I needed to be sure my Bacchetta Giro recumbent would fit it. The product was easier to install than it was for me to figure how to adjust it, so that my recumbent would fit it — mainly because of the seat and the other gear I had on the bike. I didn’t want to have to remove/move any gear every time I wanted to transport the bike. But once I figured that out, the setup is golden. It’ll be easy to get the bike on and off. Also, because I have only one recumbent to transport, I can access the hatchback without taking the bike off the rack! Thumbs up!

Works well. Bolts through Hitch receiver so you can snug it down to avoid rattling. Locking cap just spins around unless unlocked, so about impossible to remove.

Fast shipping. Quality of locking pin and cable feel great.

Excellent product, especially for the price. My only complaints are that it can't be unlocked with one hand, as it will just spin with the key without holding the body and that the key is captive until relocked. Not big deals, but I'm old enough and my vehicle is low enough, that it requires getting on my knees.

I purchased this for my 2020 Lexus NX 300h along with a wiring kit and a traier hitch. I had the wiring and hitch equipment installed at a local auto shop, and I've been pleased with all the equipment. I purchase this product as an accessory and it works well. I was also pleased with the E-trailer order and delivery process. I would definitely order from E-trailer again!

Arrived quickly. Rack mounted easily. Trying to use an alternate locking hitch pin did not work out well so I’ve changed it for the Thule brand locking pin

awesome lock set! The keyed alike hitch pin and cable with 4 keys are a great design idea. Also, the lock for the hitch pin can just be snapped onto the pin and secured without having the key inserted. I also have a Rocky Mounts Rack and that requires the key to be inserted and in the unlocked position to secure it on the hitch pin. Hollywood does it better!

Perfect! ETrailer will always be my go-to source for trailering needs. I find the videos and descriptions incredibly helpful and the customer service is the best.

Authentic Yakima replacement part. Better purchase options than (another site) if the locks were in stock there. Easy ordering, super fast shipping and excellent communication throughout the process. Hope I can find more stuff to buy from

Dinked it a star because the dust cap does not stay on from the moment of installing. Should be rubber and not slippery ill fitting vinyl. Snaps on the Yakima Longarm Load Extender's receiver lock screw and does it's job of securing your high priced well manufactured Yakima product.

The hitch lock spans my new 2.5 inch receiver with about 1/4 inch to spare and is now lockable. The original hitch tite pin is the same length but the lock on this item locks from the side and makes better use of the pin.

Fits my Hollywood Destination II rack perfectly

Just over 1 month and this lock has already failed. Simply unscrewing the bolt 1 time with the lock on the other side still engaged gave enough pressure against the receiver to pop it off. Very dismayed as it seems to be the only hitch lock compatible with the curt 5 bike rack.

I purchased this to connect my new Curt Tray-style Bike Rack (model # 18085) to my new Curt Custom Fit-Class III- 2", Trailer hitch (model # 13530). All of this went on my 2008 Lexus CR350 SUV. I was concerned that was not listed to fit the Curt model hitch and bike rack but it was exactly what was needed to keep. My new equipment locked. I could not be happier. I was able to install everything by myself in minutes. Everything was a perfect fit and now I am ready to take my bikes anywhere!

The hitch pin broke on the first trip with the SR2415 bike rack carrying 3 bikes. This rack is rated to carry 4 bikes and the hitch pin is compatible with this bike rack. As you can see in the photos, the color of the outer shell is different from the inner metal of the nut, which I perceive as the nut is not made of the same metal all throughout. Not sure why. The cable lock is NOT compatible with this rack and eTrailer should correct the answer registered on this site regarding this, which I had asked before purchasing this. Etrailer shipping was as always fast but unfortunately this product is seriously bad and is risky to use. Luckily my bike rack did not fall off the hitch and did not go flying on to other cars. I had to go to a local hardware store and buy a 3.5 inch length 1/2 nut and bolt, which worked just fine while returning.

Install was easy though instructions were adequate at best. Lock that holds bike rack to receiver is good daytime deterrent but make sure the lock in snapped in all the way by making sure the bolt in tightened in all the way. Original lock fell off. The bike cable lock is fine for daytime parking at a lot but would not depend on it to deter thieves with a bolt cutter at 3 am. I would use in in combination with a stronger lock then. Delivery was fast and product arrived as described. Blister pack was a pain to open of course.

Looks like high quality kit. Fits the pin on my Yakima bike rack perfectly.

I feel more secure now that I can lock my rack

Exactually what we needed to lock an extension adapter on our trailer hitch from 1.25 to 2.0” for a bike rack. Worked perfectly. The screw lock keeps the bike rack from rocking and the locking mechanism safeguards the whole package.

This hitch lock was what I expected, provides me with the security I need for my hitch and my bike rack. I would definitely recommend this product.

Good security. We used it on our bike rack and drove from Florida to Vancouver BC and back with no issues.

Beefy cable. Will put it to use in a couple of weeks.

This is how it was delivered

A must have for the Swagman XTC-4 bike rack. Sure, I want to protect my bikes but I needed something that would protect my $200+ bike rack, too. You need a wrench to tighten the bolt, which does a good job of keeping the rack from rattling but is a pain because you always need to have a wrench around. But that's not the fault of the lock. The lock is pretty neat in that you can rotate the key hole so it's covered up to keep mud and weather out. I'd buy it again if needed and the price here at etrailer.com was good.

I like that you had someone who took the time to verify what hitches the lock I bought would fit. It made it so much easier than having to guess and then return it. Thank You.

Works perfectly on my old sportworks rack. Thank to the other reviewer for mentioning it worked on his. There was a gap between the lock and the hitch. I bought ten fender washers to fill the gap. For the price, it was an excellent purchase from eTrailer.

It was hard to find the right replace lock but fortunately the lock fit the old pin so Im happy!!

Great service. Part ordered was a perfect fit

So far so good no one has stolen the rack yet. E-trailer is great! Fast shipping , good prices and easy to track my orders, I buy all my car racks, trailer stuff from e-trailer!

This is a good lock. I actually didn’t need to order one, though. A lock was included with my t-bar load assist.

I purchased the cargo carrier and did not realize it had a ferrule welded into the receiver so that the etrailer proprietary hitch pin lock would have to be ordered. Upon receiving the hitch pin I discovered the ferrule installed into the carrier was not threaded. I was told this was an error from the factory. Since I had installed the carrier and we'd had rain, there were some rust areas. I was told I could not return the carrier. I now have a carrier which I cannot lock and two locking hitch pins I cannot use. I've been a long-time etrailer customer and have recommended etrailer to others. I shall not order from etrailer in the future nor will I be recommending etrailer to others.

The quality is excellent,but what separates them from everyone else,is the helpful knowledge I received in making the right choice for my needs.

The larger bolt won't work with the 2 inch hitch so you have to use the smaller one that comes with the rack. That's a pretty significant design oversight. I use the smaller bolt but I have to strap down the whole lock assembly so it doesn't rattle. So the rack is great but the lock is kind of a pain...

I initally ordered a Hollywood hitch lock and it did not work, it was junk. The CS rep (Adam) at etrailer refunded my money and I ordered a Kuat hitch lock from etrailier. Guess what? The Kuat hitch lock did not work. Just spoke to another etraler CS rep (Hanna) and she is sending me out a replacement. I understand one lock, but both locks did not function; disappointed to say the least. Does anyone at etrailer do any quality control with your vendors? As a distributor, you are what you sell.

This is a great quality tightening locking hitch pin. It's heavy and feels solid without excess play in the locking mechanism. It was well packed and came with 3 keys on a keychain. I ordered this to use with a Thule rack because the lock we have been using isn't "compatible" on our Sprinter hitch (it would be just fine but someone at the manufacturer decided to weld a box to hold the towing cables just a couple inches from the receiver that blocks access to the left side of the receiver and in our case it meant we could neither feed the pin in from the left nor fit a key in to unlock the lock if the pin was inserted from the right. This hitch lock, with the keying perpendicular to the length of the pin instead of in line with the pin, works around that issue. It feels strong enough; hopefully it is an effective deterrent to rack theft when we travel. Mine did not come with an etrailer logo stamped on the lock unlike the photo (which I think is just fine, but pointing it out in case anyone else was deterred from ordering assuming that logo would be added).

Get the hitch lock. Unfortunately, the rack only comes with a un-robust pin to secure the rack to the hitch.

High quality heavy duty hitch pin lock. The incorrect one was shipped, and when I called, they immediately sent out the correct one.

It's a very basic lock, very thin and probably very susceptible to attack. I run a cable from bikes to car frame so people won't try to steal all bikes and racks. However, it is the only lock that fits the scenario where I have the Kuat rack adapted to a 1.25" hitch. The Kuat adapter for 1.25 only supports this very thin lock. It's a deterrent and has worked alright as such. I also got a key match to the lock that I have on my 2" hitch lock and love the fact that I could use one key for both, the 1.25 lock and the 2" lock. So I'm kinda happy, but still think this thin lock is not sufficient by itself to prevent people from breaking it and taking your valuable rack and bikes.
