The only thing that makes this purchase worth the money is the locking pins for the bike rack and 2-bike add-on, and that just barely. The locking pin for the base rack does nothing to eliminate vertical bounce of this rack, so calling it an anti-rattle hitch lock is very nearly dishonest. It DOES lock, but it's a very awkward locking mechanism. The shaft of the lock is a threaded screw that you turn with the key! And.... wait for it.... you STILL have to fasten the pin with a lockwasher and a nut, meaning that you have to keep an adjustable wrench with you at all times if you need to remove the rack.
The pin that locks the 2-bike extension to the base rack has the same locking mechanism, and you need a STACK of washers if you don't want it sliding back & forth after you install it. There's a lot of play in this pin.
If Benton didn't use their proprietary square-shaped threaded pin to secure the base rack to the vehicle, this purchase would be completely unnecessary.
I gave it 3 stars because it DOES allow you to lock your rack and extension to your vehicle, but that's the best thing I can say for it. The locking mechanism is very poor, the fit of the extension rack pin is poor, and the base rack pin needing to be secured with a lockwasher and nut is pretty close to ridiculous.
This works as expected, but we did not receive 6 keys (as pictured). We only received two! I hope I can order a few more, because our local hardware store did not have this type of blank and so was unable to duplicate them for us.
Although I have the 2 inch it seems to be a little lose still but seems like a good bike rack
Excellent locks !! Thanks
Easy to work with when locking the hitch to the receiver
Both look heavy duty enough however they require multiple full rotations of the key to unlock which is more time consuming and awkward.
