This is a great quality tightening locking hitch pin. It's heavy and feels solid without excess play in the locking mechanism. It was well packed and came with 3 keys on a keychain. I ordered this to use with a Thule rack because the lock we have been using isn't "compatible" on our Sprinter hitch (it would be just fine but someone at the manufacturer decided to weld a box to hold the towing cables just a couple inches from the receiver that blocks access to the left side of the receiver and in our case it meant we could neither feed the pin in from the left nor fit a key in to unlock the lock if the pin was inserted from the right. This hitch lock, with the keying perpendicular to the length of the pin instead of in line with the pin, works around that issue. It feels strong enough; hopefully it is an effective deterrent to rack theft when we travel. Mine did not come with an etrailer logo stamped on the lock unlike the photo (which I think is just fine, but pointing it out in case anyone else was deterred from ordering assuming that logo would be added).



by:

Unfortunately the screw bolt did not fit into the 1.25 hitch receiver and was unable to thread the bolt. However, I was able to use the other Kuat transfer bike rack bolt instead.

It is not typical hay that the lock would not fit. It is that it was too short? Do you have an OEM hitch? If so, what is the year, make, and model of your vehicle.

I love the product it is lightweight easy to use no issue with the arms on the rack. Worth every penny



by:

Was a little confused at first, key does not come out when in unlocked position. Turn key, insert bolt, turn key back.



by:

High quality materials and construction. I did not purchase this item for the specified bike rack. However, the pin is the only one I could find of the right diameter for my application. It looks like it will work just fine. Thank you.



by:

product is as advertised. works perfectly. etrailer.com has made my hitch, and rack needs so easy to figure out. thank you.



by:

This lock should help a little, but it isn’t a high security device. It locks onto the end of the pin somewhat loosely, and a motivated thief could probably defeat it without too much trouble. I would buy this again.



by:

Lock works great to secure my bike rack.



by:

Fits a Tesla Model Y to mount a Thule bike rack.



by:

The lock for bike hitch is well made, easy to lock and unlock from pin and has a sturdy dirt cover to protect the key mechanism. This is another excellent item among the many I have ordered from etrailer . Very happy with the products they offer, the info, and mailing/handling of items.

Very happy with this lockpin and lock setup. After a year of use and several long trips, dirt cover does a great job keeping water, mud, dirt away from key



by:

Not really sure how to rate this. The pin and other hardware that comes with it is identical to what came with my Transfer 2 carrier, so I'd think they could simply sell the lock by itself. It's well made, and the cover fits tightly so it should do a good job of keeping dirt out of the locking mechanism. It does fit very loosely, but I can't hear any rattling while driving.

The lock has been great. I dont use it regularly, but have been on several trips and it performed flawlessly. Still looks brand new, and operates perfectly, even after two long trips that involved very heavy rain for many miles.



by:

I have a Tesla model Y and a Thule bike rack. The problem is the Thule anti rattle lock is too long, I can't place the lock on the pin because the wiring harness plug blocks access. And the Thule lock key hole is in line with the pin so you need like 6-8 inches of clearance past the pin to actually be able to lock and unlock it.

This kits lock fits perfect on the Thule pin and since the lock is at 90 degrees, I can use it with my model Y hitch.

This kits pin also seems to fit the Thule rack. But this kits pin is a bit thinner than Thule. So weirdly enough this kits lock seems to fit better on the Thule pin since it doesn't wiggle around as much as it does on its included pin.

Also a nice plus, it comes with 3 keys.



by:

Excellent product. Easy to install and remove from my bike rack/hitch. Gave it a good test on vacation to Nova Scotia. Logged over 2000 miles on the car with the bike rack installed using the locking bolt and all was perfect.

Nice
quality lock to securely fasten the Kuat Transfer to your hitch. The shipping was fast and had a nice customer service follow up from e-trailer after the package arrived. I will absolutely do business with them again!

The lock works great and is very smooth and simple to use. However the sealing cover broke afetr only a few uses but thats no big deal and I would buy again. Thanks etrailer!



by:

Nothing wrong with the part but Don't expect an Amazon level of customer service if you need to return something. I've always had good luck with etrailer until now. I ordered this part based on information I had and the product description. Unfortunately it doesn't fit what I need. When I initiate the return process they inform me they want as much to ship it back as the part is worth. Never again.



by:

The Kuat trailer hitch lock is a nice compliment to my Kuat bike carrier. It works flawlessly and prevents the bike rack from rattling. The rubber keyhole cover prevents dirt and road grime from getting into the keyhole. I feel confident that my investment in a topnotch bike carrier and TREK bicycles are secure with the Kuat trailer hitch lock.



by:

This rack is the business, we have transported road racing bikes for years, but dirty mud covered mtb bikes are a different problem. This rack allows us to ride and rack our mud covered bikes without any handling issues, wheel removal or concern about damaging the frame/paintwork as the hitch only makes contact with the wheels. Does not matter if we are riding our 26” bikes, our 27.5”s or the fat tired bikes no adjustment no resetting just lift and load could not be easier as a wise person once told (the wife) the rack was worth every penny.



by:

It is loose on the hitch, potentially bouncing up and down to make rattling noise. Had to improvise temporary solution to stop the metal hitting metal. Otherwise a good tool to lock.

performing as expectedflawlesslyWe are on the sand here in Fla and to my surprise-its not rusting!everything else is tho



by:

Assembly was very easy as the assembly design is well-thought out, requires only the included allen wrench. Fits well on my 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe with our road bikes and also easily accomodates grandkids 20" and 24" wheel bikes. My car hitch has two holes for hitch pins and the smaller one was what the Kuat hitch pin/screw fit into. Very happy that the screw holds rack tight to the hitch since my other rack sways a lot on corners and uneven roads. Rack is also easy to take on/off car as I intend to take it off between uses. Extremely pleased with purchase.

Kuat 2 bike platform rack; wheel mount

Ordered
on day 1; promised delivery on day 6; actual delivery on day 3.
I put together the rack myself. Fairly easy to do by myself; at times it would have helped to have another pair of hands. Insturctions are very good. Items are packaged very well so that all bolts/nuts for each piece of the rack are separately packed; all the hardware is not just thrown together in one bag.
My wife's bike is a "step through" and has several items mounted on the frame. So it was very important that we get a "wheel mount" (Fork holds down the front tire not the frame.)
It took me 2.25 hours to put it together...BUT I had a problem with one of the holes which did not line up properly so the bolt would not go through properly...it took me 1.25 hours to figure out the problem and the solution (I had to ream out the hole in the metal frame another 1/16" to get the bolt to align properly.)
I only mounted our bikes on it to drive around the block for a test. We have not taken it on a long trip yet. So far I am very pleased.



by:

It’s high quality product and it’s fit to my Tesla y , highly recommended.thanks



by:

This lock fit an old bike rack that was branded with a Volvo sticker and has 3/8 pin threads. Lock works well and the rubber cap over the lock is tight and snug to keep out dirt and debris from the mechanism. I threw a rubber washer between the hitch and the bolt head to avoid scratching. I'm glad to have found a replacement part that works with 2" hitch.



by:

This is exactly what I needed for my Chevy Sonic. I installed a Draw-Tite Sport hitch from etrailer (installed by myself) and ordered the Kuat Transfer one bike platform rack. The assembly was easy with the detailed instructions. It seems solid and does not rattle or rock around with the anti-rattle hitch lock. The bicycle is easily added and removed. I will add reflective tape so that it is visible to drivers behind me.



by:

Item was back ordered, but Stacey, at etrailer, was so personable and helpful, making sure the order was fulfilled. She kept me updated along the way and the item arrived well ahead of schedule. Many thanks for the great service. The hitch lock was just what I wanted and needed.

  • Will Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Rack Work on Other Bikes
    The Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HLT will only work with Kuat Transfer bike racks. Bike rack locks are generally specific to the rack manufacturers, though we may have an option. The etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98879 has a pin diameter of 1/2", but would only work if you have a hollow shank bike rack. This is for a 1-1/4" receiver. Otherwise, there is still an option to secure your rack by using the Saris Cable Lock - 8' Long # SA981...

  • Can the Kuat Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin Be Used W/ a Swagman Bike Rack
    The Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT is actually going to only work with Kuat bike racks and is not going to work with your Swagman e-bike rack. The only compatible anti-rattle hitch pin is going to be the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin for Swagman Hitch Racks # S64029 that you already have.

  • Locking Hitch Pin Needed For The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack For 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receivers
    Hey Jeff, The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV12B has a proprietary hitch pin diameter so you'd only be able to use the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 1-1/4" Hitches # HL1. Since this isn't really the durability you're looking for I recommend running a cable lock through the rack and then through the safety chain loop on the trailer hitch to prevent theft.

  • Does Kuat Bike Rack Lock HLT Fit Kuat NV12G
    The Kuat NV # NV12G that you have has an anti-rattle device built into main tube of the rack. There's a handle underneath the main assembly of the rack that when you tighten pushes a wedge out into the hitch tube to hold it tight and prevent movement. That's why there aren't any threads in the shank of the rack of the rack for the # HLT to attach to. It can fit into the shank of the rack like you found but it won't offer an advantage over the hitch lock that came with your rack. This fits...

    Hello Mark. Unfortunately, we do not have a replacement dust cap that will fit the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT. If I were you, I would reach out directly to Kuat.

  • Hitch Lock for a Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4 and 2 Hitches
    That is correct, the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT does not work with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU74FR because of the built-in anti-rattle system the V2 has.

  • Will the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks Work with the Kuat Hi-Lo Hitch Extender
    Yes, the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks part # HLT will work with the Kuat Hi-Lo Hitch Extender part # HL20B. If you like, you could use one of the hitch pin locks to secure the extender to your hitch and then another hitch pin lock to secure the bike rack to the extender. If you order a quantity of two this would allow you to only carry one key as it would work for both locks.
