Video Transcript for Review of B and W Trailer Hitch Lock - Trailer Receiver Lock 3 Inch Hitch - BW23FR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this trailer hitch receiver lock for three inch hitches. Now this trailer hitch receiver lock is designed for your three inch trailer hitch receiver and this is to be used in place of your standard pin and clip to prevent theft on your ball mount or hitch mounted accessory. So, you can secure your bike rack, your cargo carrier, hitch cover and a whole lot more to your trailer hitch receiver. You are going to get two keys. They are keyed alike and lemme go ahead and give you a brief demonstration here of how easy this is going to be to use.

So, you just insert the key, give it a twist, and then that's going to allow you to remove the pin from the lock. As you can see, the lock is spring loaded, so once you let go of that key it's gonna go back into position to where you can remove that key. We've got this awesome cap here that's tethered to protect that keyway when you're not using it. So, you're not gonna have to worry about debris, moisture, or things like that getting in there. So, this is going to give you a better security than standard key mechanisms.

It's harder to pick, it's gonna resist drilling and it's gonna be more difficult to duplicate the keys. The diameter of our pin is five eighths of an inch and it does have a stainless steel construction so it's gonna hold up really well against the elements that it's gonna be constantly exposed to. And something that I wanted to show you is you don't need the key inserted into the keyway and turned to lock this back. So, it's gonna be very easy to lock that back into position. So, as you and so that's what I really like about this.

Some locks you do need keys and it can be kind of a hassle, but this, that's not the case with this. So again, very easy to use, give it a twist just like that. And then when you're ready to lock up, you run this through your accessory, whatever you're gonna be towing through that in your trailer hitch receiver and then just push it in like that and you're locked and you're ready to go. Let me see if I can give you some measurements. So, looking at the inside pin length or the span, lemme see if I can show that to you.

So, I'm measuring basically from here to where this begins to turn. That's known as the span or the usable pin length. I'm gonna say we're right at about four inches it looks like. And then the overall length, lemme see if I can show that to you. It might be a little bit trickier. Make sure I'm in frame. So, this is just a rough measurement. Again, I'm just trying to give you an idea of the size here. A little over eight and a half inches, maybe. I'm trying to look in here at my monitor. Close to eight and three quarters inches end to end. Just a rough measurement. This is from B & W. Obviously they are known for making great products and so this is very rugged, very durable. I think it's gonna hold up really well for you. Again, two keys, keyed alike, and it's kind of got like a rubberized texture here on the lock itself, so it's gonna be very easy to grip, especially if you're wearing gloves during colder weather. You're not gonna have a problem getting a firm grasp on this when you're trying to lock and unlock things in your three inch trailer hitch receiver. If you happen to have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
