Perfect product



by:

good! thanks



by:

Works great. If your a DIY'er, its the way to go.



by:

Like most of us i have gone through 4 carriers of various styles over the last 15 years. If i had purchased this one in the beginning i would have been ahead. Just love it and ease of using it.



by:

So far so good. Use it to secure a bike rack to my hatchback. No issues.



by:

Great product. Mounts easy. Bikes feel very solid and locked in. We ride our bikes to so many more places now because of it. Super!



by:

works very well. not long enough to apply lock mechanism on new toyota double walled 2" receiver hitches (I still cannot for the life of me sort out why toyota felt the hitch needed to be So robust). you CAN, however, torque this on and apply a cotter pin. probably not 100% legit, but i do believe it's secure. I've not found any better solution as of yet. works perfectly on normal 2" receivers.



by:

Bought this to add peace of mind for my receiver extender. My 7"-10" Hi-Lo Kuat extender has a bolt that accepts this standard lock. What I did notice is that the included threaded bolt has a small/different threads than the 7-10 Hi-Lo.....but since the Hi-Lo had the right bolt....no worries. I assume there are other extenders that use a different thread. Super happy with my purchases



by:

Nice product. It’s not going to work on my vehicle, though. Not enough clearance to get it screwed in.



by:

Stem is too small diameter for the rece iver



by:

I don’t know about the rattle yet but it’s what I needed to be able to use the Adapter to step up to 2”.



by:

Works perfectly with my Kuat Transfer V2 bike rack and my trailer hitch



by:

Worked perfectly. Shipping was extremely fast



by:

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

Great. Never have to worry about our rack when at trailheads or parking lots.



by:

The bolt that I ordered had the wrong thread pattern, it was smaller than the original Kuat. However the locking mechanism fit perfect so I used my original anti-rattle bolt. Received the package in perfect condition and quickly.



by:

Installs and locks the bike rack on as indicated.



by:

The hitch pin itself prevents hitch rattle but the looseness of the locking mechanism at the end still rattles a bit.



by:

This is not anti rattle. There is a lot of room that allows for a lot of sway. It does lock but that’s its only positive.



by:

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:

I needed a lock for the kuat hi-lo riser, this works.



by:

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



by:

Good fast service....
Quality product
supplier.

Thank you.



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:

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.

  • Kuat Threaded Hitch Pin Lock Will Not Thread Into Kuat Transfer V2 On Subaru Forester
    Welcome back, Thomas! The Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HLT actually will not fit the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR, so I think that may be the issue you are running into. It can only be used with racks that were manufactured before 2021. To lock the Transfer V2 onto a hitch, you will want something like the TowSmart Hitch Receiver Locking Pin w/Cap - 1/2" and 5/8" Diameter # TS24VR. You should not be using a threaded pin with the rack you have. What...

  • 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...

  • Is there an Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for a Kuat Bike Rack That Fits the Wider 2" Toyota Receiver?
    Hey James. The Threaded Hitch Pin for Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device item # TH62RE you were looking at has different threads than the item # HLT so it won't work on a Kuat bike rack. Kuat does not have an extended anti rattle hitch pin that's compatible with the new 2" receiver on the 2025 Tacoma's. If you can get the threaded portion out of your Kuat bike racks shank you can use our etrailer Hitch Pin Lock item # e98881 to mount and secure it. This is the only option...

  • 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.

  • How Can I Get A Replacement Dust Cap For The Kuat Hitch Lock HLT?
    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. They are usually really good at helping to take care of stuff like this. Otherwise the only solution I can offer is to buy a whole new lock.

  • Hitch Pin Lock Recommendation for Tesla Model Y
    Hey Shirley, the anti rattle hitch lock part # HLT would work on a Tesla Model Y and won't interfere with the electrical box but it would only work with a Kuat Transfer bike rack. Is that what you have or are you looking for a hitch lock that is similar that is more universal in what it can fit? If so, the Master Lock hitch pin lock part # 1469DAT is very similar and would work great for that.

  • 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...

  • What Locking Hitch Pin Do I Need to Lock My Kuat Hi Lo Adapter # HL20B to My Vehicle?
    The Kuat Hi Lo adapter part # HL20B has a threaded hitch pin design where it installs into the vehicle hitch, so a Kuat hitch lock like the part # HLT would securely lock the adapter to the vehicle hitch.

  • 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. Instead you would need a Kuat hitch lock without a threaded pin. - Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks # HL1

  • Will Etrailer Threaded Hitch Pin Fit Kuat Accessories?
    Kuat accessories, such as the Kuat Hi-Lo Hitch Extender - 2" Hitches - 7" or 10" Extension - 2-1/8" Rise/Drop # HL20B, use Kuat-specific threading for their threaded anti-rattle bolts. Kuat was not able to tell me the size of their brand-specific threading. The etrailer threaded hitch pin won't work; the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HLT is going to be your best bet as this is the only confirmed fit for a locking threaded hitch pin for the...

  • What Size Is the Bolt That Comes With the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks
    The Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks part # HLT comes with a 1/2" diameter bolt/pin. It can be used in both 1-1/4" receiver tubes with a 1/2" hitch pin hole and because it threads into the shank on the bike rack can be used with 2" receiver tubes with a 5/8" hitch pin hole.

  • What Size Pin Is Adaptable With The Kuat 2” Adapter.
    The pin diameter of the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT is 3/8" and threads into the bike rack and not the hitch which is why it can fit either 1-1/4" or 2" hitch sizes. Included is a video resource with more information as well.

  • Recommended Locking Hitch Pin for Kuat Transfer 2 Platform Bike Rack
    I have a solution for you, but because bike racks like your Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR have a threaded shank, you can't use a generic anti-rattle hitch pin like the # 63232. Instead, Kuat has a specific threaded hitch pin designed to work on their bike racks with the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # HL2. This anti-rattle device is compatible with your # KU84FR or similar Kuat rack. I've linked a short review video of this locking hitch pin for you to have a look at.

  • How to Lock the Kuat Hi-Lo 2 Hitch Extender to a Vehicle
    Yes, the shank on your Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack will work on the receiver tube opening of the Kuat Hi-Lo 2" Hitch Extender part # HL20B. For a lock, you can use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer and NV Core Bike Racks part # HLT.

  • Thread size
    Kuat and bike rack manufacturers don't like to give that info out but will if needed. Reason being they don't want people trying to use their locks and hitch pins on bike racks they weren't tested on since that's typically why people ask. What bike rack do you have? There might be a better option available.

    While we no longer carry the Rola cargo carrier 59502 that you have we do know that the HitchMate Locking Hitch Pin part # HE6001 does have the correct thread size for the carrier and would be your best option. We called Rola and asked them which lock would work and they told us this was only option they were aware of at the time.

    The Kuat Hi Lo adapter part # HL20B has a threaded hitch pin design where it installs into the vehicle hitch, so a Kuat hitch lock like the part # HLT would fit securely lock the adapter to the vehicle hitch.

You could use a hitch lock like the ## HL2, but it would not provide any real anti-rattle prevention, but would provide a way to secure your rack to the vehicle.

  • Does Kuat Replacement Lock Come With Specific Locks
    At one point, Kuat had specific lock numbers available but they have changed that recently in order to make ordering locks easier for their bike racks; due to this, specific lock numbers are not something Kuat makes available.

  • Lock Recommendation to Convert Hitch Pin of Yakima Bike Rack to Locking
    All you need to convert the threaded hitch pin of your Yakima bike rack to a locking hitch pin is the HitchLock part # Y07235 actually. This snaps onto the end of your hitch pin and its locked. We can't recommend using a different brand of hitch lock with your Yakima rack.

You will want to ensure that the hitch lock you get is compatible with your bike rack. I will list a few of our locks that we carry and the manufacturers that they fit.
