This is a great spare tire lock at a reasonable price. I installed mine today and it worked great. A new spare tire is expensive. This is a great option to protect your investment



by:

Always great products and service from trailer. I haven’t installed spare tire holder but it looks good. I’ll be buying a spare tire and wheel soon to attach to this spare holder for my trailer.



by:

We are headed to Alaska in September and needed a trailer hitch receiver for our 2015 Forester so we could mount a full size tire to have in case we blew a tire. Husband very happy with the quality of the hitch receiver plus the spare tire lock, hitch alignment collar, anti -rattle hitch pin lock, wiring harness and the stabilizing strap. Fast service! Thank you!!!



by:

I use this product to secure my spare travel trailer tire. I have had no issues so far.



by:

The first one had a problem, they sent me a new one right away.
I have been buying products form etrailer for for years, they have great customer service and good product=

Glad that the replacement worked out for you! What kind of trailer do you have?



by:

Proven lock design, like the best hitch-pin lock systems. And getting them keyed-alike just makes the wheel lock idea even better. The quality machine work and heavy duty lock barrel makes me confident that my spare tires will be safe and secure!

Quality product works great, even here in my coastal corrosive, saltylocation. Two spares, so locks keyed alike was a good option for me.

@Markg Nice! Glad the spare’s still secure! And hey - don’t shoot the lock. Unless it knows too much and you’re tying up loose ends haha


by:

Better than using a cable with a padloc k.



by:

I purchased this lock, read the instructions and installed as instructed. After the first trip with it it went missing and must have loosened and fallen off!
I would not recommend this product or e-trailer’s customer service.
Buyer beware!!!



by:

Thanks for the great service. The product worked beautifully for my application.



by:

Perfect fit for the spare tire on my FJ Cruiser.



by:

Sturdy, well made and appears to work as intended. Great anti-theft device against opportistic thieves.

Peace of mind knowing your spare is there whenif it is a ever needed. We installed it over a year ago, easy peasy, and still looksworks like new.



by:

An AWESOME product.



by:

This is the 2nd product that I have purchased from etrailer.com in the past 5 months. In both instances the product arrived well before scheduled delivery and the communication was excellent. Product matched description. I will not hesitate to purchase more items thru this vendor and will recommend them to others. GREAT overall experience!!



by:

Easy to install and use. Seems to be well made and will deter theft



by:

Not as secure as I thought. Pot metal I easy to break with a hammer.



by:

All items packaged very well. They arrived ahead of scheduled delivery date. Very high quality fit and finish. Assembly and installation were simple. This is a great answer to the 'no spare tire' issue on many motorhomes!



by:

Everything is just as described , fast delivery. Totally satisfied



by:

My Rv didn’t come with a spare tire. This is the finishing part for the spare tire setup on my Class C motorhome. Nice inexpensive deterrent when I’m away. Super easy installation, just twist about 4 times and take out the key and replace rubber cap.



by:

Best spare lock I’ve found, all you do is drill a 9/16” hole through your backing plate and insert either end of the lock and use the key to screw it till tight and remove the key. The lock screws into itself...GENIUS! Spare tire and wheel is now safe!



by:

The post is too large to go through the mounting hole on the spare tire carrier I purchased at the same time.



by:

Well I bought 2 of these Spare Tire Locks, 1 for each spare tire and it said "KEYED ALIKE". Guess I didn't understand want this meant! I got 2 locks with different keys!! Don't recommend this at all.



by:

Lock functions well to lock the spare wheel & tire, however it cannot be used to tighten the wheel to the bracket on the trailer. Product is not useable as such.



by:

Lock appears to be made with quality products and I feel confident that it will secure my spare trailer tire.

  • Could Locking Lug Nut be Used to Lock Wheel to etrailer Spare Tire Carrier # e99045
    The bolts that come with the etrailer Spare Tire Carrier for Trailer with Angle-Iron Railing # e99045 are M12 size bolts which you could use a locking lug nut designed for that size with. Since that size is pretty rare a better option might be the part # e98892.

  • Could Someone Unscrew Back of etrailer Wheel Lock # e98892
    Hey Mike, this is a great question but basically when etrailer spare lock part # e98892 is in the locked position it can't unthread at all. Even if you somehow grabbed the front of the lock and then used vice grips on the back to try and unthread it the locking mechanism wouldn't allow that to happen. Have you had a spare stolen before?

  • Recommended Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Compatible With Bike Rack
    There is one spare tire mount made for an application like this. It is the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225.

    The Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchor # T355 measure 3-1/2" by 1-1/2". If you measure again (sand down if necessary), you probably actually have the standard 3-1/2" by 1-1/2" opening and not 3-1/2" by 1-3/8", in which case this would work well for you. For a spare tire carrier that would fit the standard 3-1/2" by 1-1/2" stake pockets we have the Buyers Products Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier # 3375201012 or the Brophy Trailer Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier - Black Powder Coat # SPTC.

  • Will BOLT Spare Tire Lock Work on Boat Trailer Spare Tire
    Technically yes, the BOLT Spare Tire Lock # BL5922986 will lock onto a boat trailer's spare tire and will hold up to possibly being submerged. The problem you will run into is the lock is designed to fit into the recessed well that you won't normally find on trailer wheels. If you use the lock on a wheel where the entire lock is exposed it would be fairly easy for a would-be thief to get to the lug nut and spin it off by hand. A better option for your trailer's spare tire might be the...

    Your Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Platform Style - Tilting # Y02443 is not intended to hold a spare tire, but it's weight capacity of 60 lbs per bike should give it the durablity to do so.
