What's up everybody. It's AJ with etrailer.com Today we're checking out this locking hitch pin from Jaw Tight. Now this one is an extended one so it's a little bit longer to fit two and a half and three inch hitches. Let's check it out. You put the key in. You should turn it until the lock mechanism pops out.
Then you can separate the pin from the lock. I put the pin through our hitch and ball mount, may need to shake the ball mount a little bit just to get it through there. We'll put our lock on the other side. With the lock mechanism popped out. You can see it's farther back in there so, you know, you can just put this on there, pushing a lot and it's in place.
Looking closer at the lock. It has a smooth finish, and there's not really a grip on it but it's all right, because the lock is big enough easy to grab onto and pull off when you go to unlock it. Nice and easy to grab onto versus your standard hitch pin and clip which are a little bit smaller and harder to get in there and pull that pin out. You're going to hit your hand on the bumper or your ball mount or something like that. Or they get rusty over time and they get even harder to pull out.
This one's nice and easy. To help protect your lock from the elements. It does come with a rubber cap that you can put on there. Now, it's not attached. So you don't have to remember where this is when you have it, but at least it comes with it.
You may notice a little bit of back and forth or just a little bit of gap between the lock and the heads but that's okay because it's meant for a two and a half inch hitch and a three inch hitch. So when you do it on three inch hitch there's gonna be less of a gap, but there's not enough space for anybody getting there and do anything. It's going to be a great help to turn and keep your ball mount protected. So overall it gets the job done. It'll definitely lock our ball mount into our hitch. There's a few things that I'm not a huge fan of, the cap not being attached is kind of annoying. Cause I'm afraid I'm going to lose it. Or just going to fall off. The lock mechanism is a little iffy. You turn it. Sometimes it pops up. Sometimes it doesn't, you know, I'll turn it left or right. It looks like it's popping out now. So that part it's just iffy and then the whole lock rotates. So if it's not up against the hitch exactly, you're going to turn the lock when you're trying to get that mechanism, you're going to kind of have to hold onto that, turn it to get it to pop out. I think there's just some better hitch locks out there that have the attached dust cover and a better lock mechanism that we offer that you could probably check out. But that's going to do it for a look at the Jaw Tight hitch pin lock. Hope this helped..

This solid, high-strength steel, flush-style hitch lock lets you secure your ball mount, bike rack, cargo carrier or other accessory to your trailer hitch receiver 2-1/2" and larger. 5/8" Pin diameter.
Had this a year and many towing miles now. It's as good as the day I got it - lock still works perfectly. My F250 has a 3" receiver which has a 2 1/2" adapter, which, in turn, has a 2" adapter - pulling an 8,000lb trailer. This adapter setup has bent all of the "cheap" hitch locks I've tried, but this one is solid.
I kept finding this hitch lock unlocked so I tried locking and pulling/twisting snd it pops open every time within 3 seconds. It seems the hiway was putting enough vibration to the lock to pop the locking mechanism up. I have 4 of these two extra long for 2.5 receiver and two for 2”
I was having trouble finding a hitch pin long enough to fit my class 5 receiver on my 2011 Silverado. This one fit the bill perfectly. Etrailer support was very helpful and shipping was quick thank you very much
Thomas - 08/20/2020Got for my f350 DRW with BW Tow and Stow hitch, which I wanted a deterrent for to be stolen. Many others I had seen were too short and lock would barely secure on the pin. This one is perfect, great fit and well made. Highly recommend.
This pin is certainly heavier duty than ones I’ve bought in the past. I have no doubt based on the quality of this pin that it will last a very long time. The only gripe I’d have is that you have to hold the lock cylinder while trying to turn the key. These things aren’t in an area with the most space. Then, after you’ve added some lithium grease or anti-seize, it is a little hard to hold still while you turn the key. Other than that, this pin is top quality.
A beautiful hitch !!! Exactly as advert ised!
Timothy - 12/31/2020Great product and quality shows. Thanks etrailer for your prompt service.
Chris - 09/05/2020I received the Draw-Tite Hitch receiver Lock-extra long flush design #BD580412 in a very timely fashion. I ordered it because your web site stated it had a 4 inch span and I wanted to lock my Roadmaster #050 Roll-away to my trailer hitch. When I received it I read the Manufacturers packaging and it said it had a 3 1/2 inch span.I was fuming but I decided to cut it out of it's packaging, put it together and then measure the span.To my relief the span is actually 4 inches not 3 1/2. Please pass that on to the manufacturer. The product seems very well built.
Hard to find some products anywhere else. These folks have good prices, REALLY fast shipping, and always attentive to my needs.
Rodger S - 08/01/2020Perfect fit for the stock 3” receiver on my Ford F-350. I made the mistake of leaving the locking pin in the receiver over our Canadian winter and I thought it would be rusted shut but it still works like new. Great product and quick advice and delivery from etrailer!
Great quality materials. Works perfect.
Easy to install. Locked my hitch and never looked back.
Fast shipping. Fits hitch of my 2021 Ta coma.
This product does what it's designed too, that's why I gave it three stars. However, it did not fit my needs...it works better on narrower ball mounts. I have a B&W tow and stow three ball mount and need a hitch receiver lock that's about 1/2" to 1" longer to fit it.
Excellent product
Great service from etrailer and their staff. Follow up calls and emails in every step. This is missing today with e commerce but not with etrailer. Thank you Carol
The locking mechanism rusted up and I could not get it to unlock. Very frustrated when I tried to change receivers to hook up a different trailer. Never had this problem with a cheaper brand lock. Disappointed to say the least.
It's well made, however I was unable to unlock it after 6 months of use. Ended up using a large hammer to break it free. Once I got it apart I found the ball bearings on the shaft had rusted and wouldn't allow the end to free up and come apart. I would suggest if you buy periodically take it apart and clean it and apply grease to the bearing.
Great product. Very quick delivery.
works very well
I bought this B&W hitch to be a exact fit for my truck. This is the second B&W that I have purchased. Both have been well built. Best adjustable hitches that I have ever owned. Very Happy With them etrailer had the best price of anyone locally. Ordered Saturday, I received an Email Sunday that my order was Processed, and that it was ready for shipping. It arrived four days later. Thank You Will order from you again.
I finally found a locking pin long enough to go through my hitch. I have a 2” sleeve inside a 2.5” sleeve inside a 3” receiver. The OD is too big for most locking pins. This was my only choice I could find so I would have been happy with just about anything that fit. This way exceeded my expectations. The locking mechanism is super smooth and it has a rubber o-ring that keeps dirt and debris out of places it shouldn’t be.
The Bulldog Extra Long Hitch receiver lock was just the length I needed for my 2017 Ford F350. It is a quality receiver lock and suits my needs perfectly. I highly recomend this lock for those of you that need more clearance than the 3 5/8ths locks that are on the market. My compliments to etrailer.com for carrying this product and their super fast shipping.
The hitch lock seems durable; however, time will tell how it holds up. The process in purchasing it was effortless, but the shipping took longer than expected based on other reviews of items that had super fast shipping from etrailer.com. This was purchased for my 2017 F250, which has the heavy duty (wider) receiver. It is plenty long enough to fit the new receivers.
