Note: BOLT locks permanently code to only 1 vehicle. They cannot be re-coded or re-keyed.
Are you tired of carrying a bulky ring of keys - for your hitch lock and coupler lock, your pickup cover or trailer door, and all the various padlocks securing your equipment? Tired of fumbling for the right key or having to replace a lost key?
BOLT (Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology) has solved that problem by designing a line of locks that can operate with a key you already have handy - your vehicle ignition key.
When you insert your own key into the cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down until they are matched exactly to that key. The first time the key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. When the key is turned again, it will rotate to the unlocked position.
BOLT is particularly useful in commercial applications. Imagine being able to send a crew without having to sign out multiple keys for a work truck, trailer, hitch pins, and equipment locks. With BOLT, the vehicle key becomes a master key. It opens all those locks and you no longer have the hassle of getting to a work site only to find that you've brought the wrong keys.

This 5/8" diameter receiver lock codes to your vehicle's ignition key. Made of automotive-grade materials and nearly impossible to pick or bump, this corrosion-resistant lock helps keep your ball mount safe and secure.Very nice to use the factory key for the hitch lock. 2022 GMC HD
Convenience of a single key is amazing. Works great. One downside is the lock portion is very large which interferes with chaining up the trailer. Doubt there is a fix and it is probably variable depending on hitch used but something to consider.
Initial fit and finish looks great. Inserted my GM key and turned clock-wise until it would turn anymore. My non-locksmith guess is that the little noise it made along with the slight "crunching" sound was it setting the key pattern. After that, it turns very smoothly. Time will tell if I can use my key or have to cut it off when I set up to tow my camper.
So easy to key to my ignition key. Literally took about five seconds and bam!!! Done. Works great and looks good with my new B&W hitch.
The pin would not fit in the lock. I had to grind it down slightly. Once that was done works great.
I bought three Bolt Trailer Hitch Receiver Locks. I absolutely love them. You can't beat the convenience of using your ignition key as the same key to unlock the Bolt lock. It is a two for one deal. Now all three of our hitches are safe, secure and convenient to use. Etrailer website was very easy to use. I was unable to find two of our vehicles receiver locks elsewhere, Etrailer had them. Super fast delivery. If you need a Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, Bolt is the way to go and ETrailer is the place to buy it!
Put key in and turned once and lock was working as it should and keyed to vehicle.
Never fails. Awesome product. One less key or combination to worry about :)
Excellent product. I like that it is keyed to my Tahoe key- very convenient.
One of the coolest towing accessories I've purchased in a long time. I'm still amazed the lock fits the factory vehicle key. No more looking for lost keys and having to cut the old receiver lock off.
Works great and I always know where my key is!!
Quality product!
I like that I can use my own truck key to lock it.
This is easy to program to your key and seem to work great althogh I have not tried to take it out since I put it in so I can't speak to that.
Easy to set to existing key, works great to keep $1000 tow bar secure.
Nice to have my tow vehicle keys open the hitch lock. I have less keys to keep up with.
Great selection of products with competitive pricing. Shipping time is incredibly quick. Customer support and communications are 5 star. I will continue to purchase all of my trailer and towing components with this company. Years of rock solid support and selection will keep me returning to this trusted supplier. Thank you
Good quality,nice being able to use your vehicle key to key the lock the same. Probably one of the best items that I have purchased for my hitch assembly.
This is a great lock so amazed it key the same as my vehicle excellent idea
I was very impressed with the items I ordered. Brent told me about the lock that I could get that work with my ignition key and it is great. the receiver hitch looks very nice on my Chevy Colorado and really dresses up the back of truck.
Easy to set up key and works great
Secure and easy to use.
Works as advertised.
Received in 2 days. Great product and great service!
So much simpler to just have have the truck key and be able unlock the pin. As others have mentioned the lock is very big and you may have trouble hooking up your safety chains. You may find if you remove the lock and then hook up you chain, it may make it easier. Just don't forget to put the lock back on. I just wish they made a coupler lock now.
