If you're tired of your bike rack rattling every time you hit a bump, the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks is your solution. Its threaded design minimizes movement and noise when your bike rack is attached to either a 1-1/4" or 2" hitch receiver. Enjoy a quieter ride, knowing your equipment is stable and secure.
Worried about your bike rack being stolen? The barrel-style lock secures the hitch pin, ensuring your Kuat Transfer bike rack stays where it belongs. Simply push the lock onto the pin until it snaps into place, and you're ready to go. Protecting your bike rack has never been so straightforward.
Designed to withstand the elements, this lock includes a rubber dust cap that keeps debris out of the cylinder, ensuring long-lasting performance. Combined with the included lock washer, this feature significantly increases the longevity of your hitch lock, making it both a practical and sturdy choice.
Perfect for Kuat Transfer models TS01B through TS03G manufactured before 2021, this hitch lock covers a wide range of racks and vehicles. With pin diameter of 3/8", overall length of 5-3/4", and a pin span of 3-1/2", it’s designed to fit almost any setup, making it a versatile addition to your biking gear.
No need to buy special tools. Install the lock using an 8-mm Allen wrench or 19-mm open box wrench that you likely already have at home. Its convenient setup means you can focus more on enjoying your ride rather than struggling with complex locking mechanisms.
Lose a key? No worries. This lock comes with three round keys right out of the box. Whether you want to keep a spare at home or with a fellow cyclist, you'll have backups handy. That’s a small detail that makes a big difference in user convenience and peace of mind.

Perfect product
good! thanks
Works great. If your a DIY'er, its the way to go.
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.
So far so good. Use it to secure a bike rack to my hatchback. No issues.
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!
Was a little confused at first, key does not come out when in unlocked position. Turn key, insert bolt, turn key back.
The hitch pin itself prevents hitch rattle but the looseness of the locking mechanism at the end still rattles a bit.
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).
Get the hitch lock. Unfortunately, the rack only comes with a un-robust pin to secure the rack to the hitch.
This worked great, I had to replace my other hitch pin due to accidentally stripping the nut. It was exactly the same plus it came with the lock which I did not have before. I only gave it four stars due to the fact that the cover on the lock does not fit correctly and I cannot get it , on otherwise it’s great.
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.
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
Works well, no rattle, comfort of feeling that rack is secured
product is as advertised. works perfectly. etrailer.com has made my hitch, and rack needs so easy to figure out. thank you.
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.
Works great!
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.
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
Exactly what I was looking for!
Excellent customer service!
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!
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.

What can I say. Another year gone by and the bike rack still performing perfectly.I am very happy with this product. Would definitely recommend to others.
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.
Lock works great to secure my bike rack.
