Features to know about

Effortless Key Access: 360-Degree Swivel Head

Struggling to insert your key in tight spaces? The innovative swivel head of this hitch lock rotates a full 360 degrees, ensuring easy access no matter the orientation. Whether you have a bike rack or cargo carrier attached, you'll never have to juggle between aligning the lock and inserting the key.

Ultimate Theft Protection: Key-Retaining Mechanism

Worried about locking mishaps or accidental detachment of your hitch accessories? The key-retaining design ensures that the key cannot be removed until the lock is fully engaged. This means no more "false locks" – giving you peace of mind that your trailer hitch accessories are securely locked in place.

Weather-Resistant Durability: Stainless Steel Construction

Rust and corrosion can really dampen your towing experience. Fortunately, this lock boasts a solid stainless steel construction that resists harsh weather conditions, including salt, UV rays, and moisture. The robust design ensures long-lasting performance, ideal for various climates and terrains.

Secure Every Adventure: Designed for 2-Inch Hitches

Need a lock that fits your standard hitch? With a pin diameter of 5/8" and a usable span of 2-3/4", this lock is tailored for 2" hitch receivers. It's an excellent choice for common setups, seamlessly integrating with your ball mount, bike rack, or cargo carrier.

No-Fuss Locking: Push-to-Lock Mechanism

Tired of cumbersome locking procedures? The push-to-lock mechanism makes securing your hitch simple and intuitive. Just push the lock into place, and you'll feel and hear it click securely, saving you time and ensuring your accessories are firmly attached.

All-Weather Reliability: Snap-On Cover

Mud, rain, or snow? No problem. The lock's weather-resistant capabilities are enhanced by a snap-on cover that keeps dirt and moisture out of the keyway. You can trust this lock to deliver consistent performance, no matter the weather conditions, for a stress-free towing experience.

  • Can Master Lock Hitch Locks 1480DAT And 1469DAT Be Keyed Alike?
    Hello Oliver, thanks for reaching out. We can provide both the locks you mentioned, the Master Lock # 1480DAT and # 1469DAT, but I am sorry to say we do not offer a keyed-alike option for these. Both would come with a random key number. If you need a hitch lock that works with 2" and 2-1/2" hitches and can be keyed alike, we do have the following: - etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches - Flush - 3-5/8" Span - Chrome # e98881 You can order as many of these as you need,...

  • Lock For B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B
    The B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B do not come with a keyed locking pin to secure the shank to the receiver. For that I recommend the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Trailer Hitches # 1480DAT. If you want a locking pin for the ball mount, you would need the longer of the two pins that comes with the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492. I have added links to video reviews of each product for you.

  • Comparison Between Class V Hitches That Are Welded Together And Hitches That Are Bolted Together
    Part # C15325 has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 16,000 lbs and 17,000 when using weight distribution. The tongue weight capacity is 2,400 lbs and 2,400 lbs when used with weight distribution. This hitch is designed to be used on trucks without a 10 inch step bumper. This is a Class V hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. Another Class V hitch that may work for you if your truck has the 10 inch step bumper is part # C15317. This has the same characteristics as the # C15325,...

  • Replacement Parts Needed For Blue Ox Sway Pro Weight Distribution Stolen Hitch Head
    First you will need to determine if you have the Old Style Head # BXW4011, New Style Head # BLU54XR, Old Style Underslung # BXW4012 or New Style Underslung # BLU34XR for your Blue Ox SwayPro weight distribution. The difference is how the spring bars attach to the head. You will also need a Shank # BXW4000 to attach the shank to the head. For a hitch ball you will need either a 2" # A-90 or 2-5/16" # C40008 to match your trailer coupler. A 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 is needed...

  • What is the Coupler Height of the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT
    I spoke with my contact at Malone who said that the coupler height of the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT is 15". When we installed the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76138 on a 2017 Mazda CX-5 the coupler height (from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver) measured 13". If this is the case with your 2018 model then that means you will need a ball mount with a 2" rise. The Curt Fusion Ball Mount # C45155 is a great option as it has a 2-1/4" rise (the...

  • How to Correct Key That Will Not Turn in Master Lock 1480DAT Hitch Lock
    When a key will not turn in a lock with an item like Master Lock # 1480DAT sometimes a very gentle tap with a small hammer will help to fully seat the key in the tumbler. You can also try a light sanding of the key's teeth with fine grit sandpaper (500-grit wet type is what I recommend) to remove any tiny spurs that could be the cause for the problem. Another effort you might try is with the key out of the lock, position the lock with the opening facing down, and while in this position...

  • What Hitch Locks Are Good For Resisting Rust And Corrosion
    Yes, you are correct the best hitch lock to prevent rust and corrosion is the stainless steel lock. The stainless steel locks will not corrode. The Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Stainless Steel Flush Design, # e98882, is one of our top sellers. The price difference is only a few dollars from the chrome to the stainless steel so it is definitely the better buy. The other choice for a stainless steel lock is the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # 1480DAT, it is also stainless steel...

  • How to Correct Frozen Hitch Lock 1480DAT That Will Not Open
    After a long period in place a lock mechanism can stick and make it tough to get the key in it, or to get the inserted key to turn. There are a few suggestions I can offer to you to get your lock # 1480DAT open. You can spray a bit of aerosol white lithium grease into the lock. Do not use powdered graphite as it will eventually harden. A small amount can also be applied to the key before it is inserted. The keys themselves sometimes will benefit from a bit of fine (500 grit) sandpaper...

  • Can Locking Pins Be Used With B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount
    I spoke with my contact at B&W about locking pins for the Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B. He confirmed that pins can be used in the ball mount, but they need to be able to span the hitch, have a diameter of 5/8 inches, and be rated for 10,000 pounds. I found the longer of the 2 pins in the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492 to span the width of the Tow & Stow # BWTS10048B. I have attached some photos I took showing the adjustment pin lock in the Tow...

  • Hitch Lock Does Not Open But The Key Turns
    I consulted with my contact at the Master Lock company and was advised of the following steps to help resolve your issue with the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock not working # 1480DAT. First ensure you are using the correct key. If you have used any lubricants with the lock, blow it out with canned air. Re-lube the lock with PTFE lube formula (such as Tri-flow). Work your key back into the lock to open it.

  • How to Determine the Hitch Size for Hitch locks
    To determine the size of the receiver lock you will need you need to determine the size (see link below) of the receiver on your vehicle and you also need to measure the overall width of the outside of the receiver at the hitch pin hole. If you have a class I or class II receiver you will need a 1-1/4 inch receiver lock and if you have a class III receiver or larger you will need a 2 inch receiver, then you need to make sure the inside width of the receiver lock is at least as wide as the...

  • Will Master Lock Hitch Pin Work with B&W Tow & Stow Adjustable Ball Mount
    Because of the large span required to secure the ball mount of the B&W Tow and Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048B, the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 1480DAT will not work to secure the ball mount to the shank. The span of the # 1480DAT hitch pin lock is not long enough to secure the ball mount to the shank. The long pin in the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492 is the only pin we carry that is long enough to span the 4 inch wide ball mount of the...

  • 5/8 Hitch Pin With 4-1/2 Span
    Since you have a 3/4-Ton truck I assume that you have a 2-1/2" square receiver using a 5/8" hitch pin. We don't have a stainless steel option, but you could use the etrailer # e65TR which has a 4-1/2" span and it has a durable black finish or the JR Products # 37201065 which has a 4-3/4" span and is chrome plated.

  • Could Tow Ready Base Rail Lock # TR63254 be Used as Hitch Lock
    It would be a bit thin compared to most hitch pins but the part # TR63254 would technically work as a lockable hitch pin. It's 1/2 inch in diameter and most applications call for 5/8. The part # 1480DAT is a great choice that is the standard 5/8 inch diameter. The smaller hitch pin size would mean much more movement and rattle when on the road.

  • Will Chevrolet Bowtie Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover # PC002207 Fit Hitch on Chevrolet Pickup Truck
    The Chevrolet Bowtie Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover # PC002207 that you referenced will fit into ANY hitch on any vehicle as long as it is either a 1-1/4-inch or 2-inch size. A Ford or Chevy truck will have a 2-inch hitch. You can make sure by referring to the linked article on trailer hitches. You will need either a hitch pin like # PC3 or a hitch lock like # 1480DAT to secure the hitch cover in your hitch.

  • What is Class Rating of Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock
    Trailer hitch pins and receiver locks, such as the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 1480DAT that you referenced, do not typically have a listed Class rating or weight capacity. This is simply because they are built with extreme weight bearing capabilities that can handle any weight that would be put on them (regardless of the trailer hitch's weight capacity). If you see a Class rating listed on a hitch pin or lock, this is simply in reference to the receiver size (1-1/4 inch, 2...

  • Ideal Hitch Ball Height for a 2008 Toyota Highlander V6
    The hitch ball height you need depends entirely on the specific trailer you will be towing. There is no ideal height that would be universal for a certain vehicle. Trailers come in all different heights, so you will need to take some measurements to determine the correct rise or drop you will need on your ball mount. This is what will allow you to put the hitch ball in the correct placement for hooking up your trailer. First, you will need to measure from the ground to the top of the...

  • Looking Hitch Pin Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F-150 with 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Span
    It will be a snug fit so if the outside of the receiver on your truck is 2-1/2 inches locking pin # BD580402 should fit. On each end of the pin, on the insides that face the inner span, it is tapered so there will be just enough wiggle room. It might be safer to go with span that is just a little wider like # e98880 that has a 2-5/8 inch span. Then there is an extra long span on # e98881 that measures 3-5/8 inches inside width. If 3-5/8 is too long and you do not want to chance a 2-5/8,...

  • Will Aftermarket Hitch for 2020 Chevy Equinox Fit Behind rear Bumper Cutout
    All of the aftermarket hitches that fit your 2022 Chevy Equinox Premier will sit below the rear bumper fascia and aren't designed to be hidden behind that rear panel - for that exact setup you'll need to have an OEM hitch installed. If the receiver being behind that panel isn't a deal breaker then I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR because it has a matte black finish that not only blends in better with your vehicle trim but it does a better job holding up...
