Today we're going to be taking a look at the CE Smith padlock brackets for spare tire carriers. Now, these heavy duty brackets enable you to padlock your trailer spare tire. That's going to help deter theft, it's going to keep it safe. It's a very simple installation. It simply threads on to CE Smith's U bolt style spare tire carriers. So, that spare tire carrier goes around the frame of your trailer and then, the posts come around the framing and through the lug holes on the wheel of your spare tire. This portion right here, just threads onto the end of that post.
Do that on both sides of the spare tire carrier. Bring the elongated ends of the brackets together and then, place a padlock through there and lock it. Now, a padlock is sold separately. The unit is constructed of sturdy zinc plated steel. It's made in the USA.
You're going to get two brackets and I'm just going to give you the measurement real quick of the elongated hole. Measuring this direction, it's going to give us an opening of about three eighths of an inch so, it will except a shackle diameter of a padlock up to three eighths of an inch. Then length, it's going to measure about three quarters of an inch long. That's going to do it for today's look at the CE Smith padlock brackets for spare tire carriers.

All is good. Had a flat on the trailer nail and it was a little bit of a pain to undo both the locking bolt and the bolt just mounting the tire to the trailer but I dont have to worry about theft.

Hey Andrew, I talked with my tech support and went out and measured a few different brackets to confirm the thread count. All the ones I put hands on were the right thread count. Is it possible the shop that made you the u-bolts used the wrong setting? I know I have used the wrong dietap before and ruined a thread.

It is because you ordered the etrailer brand item # e99045 spare tire carrier and this only fits the CE Smiths U-bolt-style spare tire carriers item # CE22007Z-11050-2 or item # CE22011Z-11050-2.

These arent meant to screw onto the studs, theyre meant to be used with a specific U-bolt style tire carrier like CE22007Z-11050-2 or # CE22011Z-11050-2.

Hi Steve, this is meant to be used with a specific U-bolt style tire carrier like CE22007Z-11050-2 or CE22011Z-11050-2. Is one of these the tire carrier you are using this with?
