Speaker 1: Today we'll be taking a look at the Curt Channel Mount Lock Set, part number C23556.Without any locks, this could be you.But with our locks installed, you're safe and secure. This locking system is designed to work specifically with your Curt Adjustable Ball Mount, part number C45900, and C45902. Both locks feature a barbell style clamping mechanism that will work with either the hitch pin or the ball mount pin. Four keys are included, and any key will work with any of the matching locks. There's a dust cover on the end of each lock to keep out dirt and grime. The curved handle on the hitch pin makes for easy removal and installation.They feature a 6-1/4" overall total length.Included in the kit you'll get one hitch pin, one ball pin, and two locks.
These locks are keyed the same, so you have a total of four keys.We will start by installing the hitch pin. Remove the old one, slide in the new one, unlock your lock, slide it on, lock it up, and close the dust cover. Next, we'll install the ball pin. Remove the old pin, slide in the new locking pin. Again, unlock the lock, slide it on, lock it up, close the dust cover, and you're good to go.
Either pin can be replaced with the locking pin to secure your ball mount. Now, with our locks installed, we can feel safe knowing that our ball and our adjustable mount aren't going anywhere.That completes our look at the Curt Channel Mount Lock Set, part number C23556.

This Curt lock set for adjustable channel-style ball mounts is keyed alike, and includes 4 keys.The locks are big enough to fit both my hitch and ball hitch. 4 keys included makes it very convenient. Shipped very quickly.
This locking pin is definitely long enough for the Curt 14,000 lb adjustable ball mount. In fact, its probably about a half an inch too long. The locking part flops around a bit, I wonder if it would come off with a good smack from a hammer. I'm going to try shoring it up with a few 5/8 inch washers.
Though the product looks to be of good quality, the design in my opinion is poor. When the locking portion is attached to the pin(s), there is a gap between the two. This gives a purchase point to a would-be thief to get a prying tool in there. This may seem nit-picky, but this is a security lock set that is supposed to protect a trailer and hitch ball assembly.
I'm thinking I probably just got a bad set of these but I have struggled with the locks ever since they were new. The keys don't want to work! Always have to fiddle and jiggle with the locks for an annoyingly long time to get them to work.
Sierra K - 01/15/2022Seems to be sturdy enough to keep my new Curt 45900 adjustable trailer hitch secure to my vehicle. I like the fact that the keys are all the same. etrailer customer service is great! Thanks to Michelle!
Exactly what I wanted. Heavy duty and fit perfectly. I installed this by myself in about 2 hours . Hitch, wiring harness and bracket.
These locks are great, I ordered more for my adjustable hitch, I've had one for about three years or more. They work great, ( I do put a little oil on them from time to time just to make sure)
Brad - 09/07/2021We carry several different trailers for our adapted sport programs, which meant we needed to get a hitch receiver with an adjustable height. This lock worked perfectly for our situation and would buy it again for our next truck.
This is my second set that I have bought my son took over my first set.They are a great asset to my channel hitch.Both locks are keyed alike less keys to carry a round.And like always etrailer comes through with fast shipping and great prices.Thanks again
Good set. Seems strong and reliable enough. I don't like the keys. The plastic head on the key serves only one function, it adds bulk to the keychain and a bigger bulge in your pocket.
I chose these items because they were suggested when I purchased a heavy duty ball hitch. They did not fit the hitch very well and I ended up purchasing a different locking pin for the hitch. The product is a great product and I will keep them for other applications, however, I believe a recommended item should complement the product being purchased not simply related.
What can I say about the locking pins? They fit. Hopefully the locks won't have to prove themselves, but there isn't a lot more to say about them unless someone tries to steal the ball or mount. Then we'll know how good they are at preventing theft.
It has to made clearer if you want to buy both the
Locking pin and the height adjustment pin, I ordered the wrong set.
Locks look pretty good. Little long for me, made spacers so you can't stick prybar
between lock and hitch and pop off. Easy to lock and unlock. Now I can relax when hitch is on truck and not hooked to trailer.
I ordered these locking pins for my new ball mount trailer hitch so it wouldn't come up stolen some time. I liked the Master Lock pins better but couldn't get two keyed alike.
These have functioned well. Unfortunately because I have a short driveway the ballmount has to come off when I get home, so a lot of on and off for these, but no issues.
Good product, fit the 3" hitch on my '15 Chevy2500 with a little room to spare. I'd like to see another 1/4" for the hitch lock, but it did the job well.
I read a review buy someone on the site to use these pins with the Curt hitch that I also purchased. Only one of them fit so that part isn't great, but the one that does fit still secures the hitch so that it can't be easily stolen/tampered with.
I ordered a hitch and locking pins. All were nicely packaged and delivered very quickly.
etrailer does it right, ordered it on Wednesday afternoon came on Friday. Curt hitch was just as described, looked awesome on my truck. Thank You
Really an amazing outfit. The web page provides all the detail needed to make the right choice on parts so its right the first time. The staff are friendly and caring and the delivery was spot on. etrailer is how web shopping ought to be done. They truly set the standard.
Good product
Keeps the Curt Adjustable 2-Ball Mount from disappearing...:)
Lowest price around; was here in a few days. Would buy from again. Just as advertised will keep thieves from stealing my hitch overnight hotel stays while traveling.
Perfect way to deter a thief from stealing your nice adjustable hitch, the pin for the receiver was long enough to use in my ‘12 2500HD 2-1/2” receiver.
