Video Transcript for Review of B and W Trailer Hitch Lock - Standard Pin Lock - BW74FR

Michael: Hi there I'm Michael with easy trailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the BNW trailer hitch receiver lock. This is going to work for your two inch, two and a half inch, and three inch trailer hitch receivers. It's going to make sure that any of your hitch mounted accessories like your bike racks, cargo carriers, ball mounts, those sort of things are going to stay in your trailer hitch receiver. No one's going to be able to come along and simply pull out a pin and clip and take off with it. So it's going to add a lot more security for your hitch mounted accessories.This does have a nice weather resistant plastic dust cap that's going to keep the cylinder free from water and debris.

So we can use one of the two provided keys. Simply turn into our tube key lock cylinder, give it a nice little twist there, and it's going to come free. One of the really nice things about this is it's going to default to the lock position. So as we insert this into our hitch, just get it through to the other side, and then we can pop that cap on there and it's going to be locked. So we don't have to worry about trying to mess with the keys to shift it into the locked position.

It will default to that locked position and then we only have to turn it to unlock it.Now this is tube key lock cylinder. So it's going to be much harder for anyone to drill into or try and duplicate the keys. So it's going to be very secure. This is a stainless steel construction. So again, it's going to be very durable and corrosion resistant.

Be hard for anyone to try and cut into. As far as our measurements go, from the portion where this is going to butt up against our hitch receiver tube and to the portion where our lock cylinder is going to connect, it's just over three and a half inches, probably say it's still shy of three and five-eighths, but really close to three and five-eighths there.When we put our lock in place there, you can see that's going to be the overall width that we have for our hitch receiver tube. Now, of course, if we have a three inch trailer hitch receiver, that's not going to leave a whole lot of room, but it should still be enough for those three inch hitch receivers.And then our overall length for the whole thing looking at right about I'm going to call it about five and a half inches overall. And this is your standard five-eighths inch pin diameter so it's going to work with those two, two and a half, and three inch hitch pin holes. Sorry, the two, two and a half three inch trailer hitch receiver hitch pin holes that are about five-eighths diameter.So overall I think this is going to be a great option to make sure that your hitch mounted accessories stay on your vehicle so you don't have to worry about coming back to your parked vehicle and finding them missing.

Having this extra little security there is going to be a great investment for the security of your hitch mounted accessories. So that's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with each trailer.com. Thanks for watching.
