Master Lock Trailer Hitch Lock - 1469DAT

Features:

Trailer hitch receiver lock is used in place of standard pin and clip to prevent theft of ball mount or accessories such as cargo carriers and bike racks
Oversize lock fits late-model trucks with wider, 2-1/2" receivers
- Fits 2007-2010 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra with HD tow package
- This lock is slightly too short for the 2011 and newer GMC factory 2-1/2" hitches (see e98881 if you have this vehicle)
Patented, stainless steel swivel head rotates 360 degrees for easy access
- Brass keyway with aluminum casing conveniently faces toward you, not off to the side
Key-retaining design prevents "false locks" - key can't be removed unless lock is secure
Push-to-lock mechanism makes locking easy and foolproof
- Lock clicks into place - you can feel and hear that it is locked
Chrome-plated steel resists corrosion
Weather-resistant, snap-on cover keeps dirt and moisture out of keyway
Rugged construction complies with ASTM testing standards for exposure to salt and UV rays
Includes 2 keys

Specs:

Application: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" trailer hitch receivers
- Will not fit Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Reese Titan hitches with 18,000-lb GTW rating
- Works with OEM hitches on late-model trucks, including:
  - Ford F-250 and F-350 with 2-1/2" square receivers
  - Toyota Tundra with HD tow package
  - Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra with HD tow package
Pin diameter: 5/8"
Inside pin length (span): 3-1/4"
Capacity for Class III or IV hitches: 10,000 lbs
Limited lifetime warranty

Note: Lock will not fit Draw-Tite and Reese brand Titan hitches with an 18,000-lb towing capacity. The washers that are used to reinforce the pin hole on these receivers make the width too long for the lock.

I like this lock because it gives you room for the safety chains.

by: Daniel 08/22/2026 One Year Later

Excellent. Heavy duty quality lock. Works great.

by: Duncan 02/03/2026 One Year Later

After a year of use and being left on the truck no sign of corrosion, color on end has held up - which is handy for quickly confirming it is on the truck and in place, lock mechanism still works smoothly - protective cap hasn't cracked or become brittle, lock mechanism still works smoothly. Having the lock face the rear of the truck instead of the side may seem like a small convenience, but it makes it easier to reach and use, so I'm glad I chose this one.

by: Clay 06/05/2026 One Year Later

Works great, like the dust cover keeping stuff from getting inside the lock.

by: Steve 02/17/2026

I needed a new locking pin that has the key facing out toward me and this one fits the bill perfectly! I also plan to tow with this pin so I chose this one because of it’s load capability and bonus - it’s stainless! Thx

by: Patrick 03/01/2026

The hitch was great. The Master lock was ok. The dust cover cap on the lock would not stay in place so I had to put electrical tape on it to secure it to the lock.

by: Brent 06/29/2026

The weather proof cap will not stay on lock. Very poor design. Very disappointed in Master lock a premium brand and price temu quality.

Great workshops for the hitch mount

by: Tony L. 11/28/2012

2.5" hitch. Nice fit, also really like the stainless steel construction since most of my towing is done in the winter towing a trailer full of snowmobiles on typical midwestern heavily salted roads. Nice rubber boot around lock with weather cap prevents salt/water intrusion and abrasion on hitch surfaces. Good looking anodized red handle/stop on other end. As mentioned earlier, weather seal o-ring on stem is slightly oversized and tends to push out rather than engaging hole in lock but a little lube on the o-ring before installation mitigated that issue. Service from etrailer is top notch - bar none.

So far I have bought a hitch , hook, lock and on its way is also the wiring harness for my Tacoma. etrailer.com gets the parts to me quicker than expected. So far everything has fit perfectly. No need to look any farther than etrailer for your trailer needs.

I triple checked to make sure I ordered all the right equipment.
Everything seems to be 100% right and the quality of the product, B+W triple ball hitch and master lock locking pins,
Seem great too. I just opened the box and haven't used it yet but checked sizes are perfect.
Trailer always works the first time for me. Thank you etrailer.

Got tired of switching balls so ordered the B&W Tow and Stow. etrailer came through again. Exceptionally fast shipping and delivery and product was well packaged. Will be installing shortly. Also got the locking Master Lock hitch pin to keep the Tow and Stow on my truck instead of someone else's!!

Unfortunately, the hard winter killed my lock. The protective cap fell off and the key slot got so packed full of road salt that the key wouldnt go in. I finally had to cut the lock off. Lesson learned: make sure you keep the plastic cap on!

My lock suffered the same fate but my protective cap stayed on. The key would go in but not turn to unlock. Tried spraying penetrating oil in lock for days and a little heat did not help. Had to drill out lock. The Chicago winters and all the salt destroyed the aluminum lock.

by: Gary 04/18/2024 One Year Later

This item has held up very well. It’s all my truck probably 300 days out of the year and all sorts of weather. The only thing that happened is the dust cover retainer has broken, but I still have cap and use it. It’s never been a problem to unlock or lock and it has never been an issue while using it to hold my hitch. The red colour has also faded somewhat from the sun over the air but it’s not horrible. I would definitely recommend this product and would absolutely buy another one.

by: Lynn 08/11/2021

Purchased this hitch lock specifically because we were having trouble inserting our safety chains on receiver due to the length of our prior hitch lock. This lock gives us an added 0.5 inch, just what we needed. In addition I like the locking mechanism which has a rotation cam type lock vs the open cylinder with recessed ball bearings. I also appreciate this is stainless steel. I expect this lock to perform we for many years to come.

by: Jeffrey 10/30/2017 One Year Later

great product the ball hitch is the best one i have ever owned.
Construction business, I own three diesel trucks and five trailers either 2" or 2&5/16.
this is the easiest fastest to change of all the balls i've owned.
Wish i would have bought one for each vehicle.

by: Skip A. 10/03/2013

This lock is much easier to install than others, because the key slot faces you as you lock or unlock, as opposed to the key slot being in line with the pin making it difficult to see the key hole. I did note that the packaging states that the pin is rated at 10,000 lbs (towing load). For a locking pin long enough to fit Class V receivers (2 1/2" square), this is not an adequate rating. My system needs a rating of at least 14,000 lbs, so this pin is technically not sufficient. I am not going to worry about it, since the rating is not stamped on the pin and I know that the 5/8" pin will definitely be strong enough for my use. I do think that the issue should be addressed in the website description, however.

Hefty. Works good with my 2 1/2" receiver set-up.

by: Scott 05/15/2019

I bought this lock, a draw tight hitch, a Curt wiring harness and a GMC LED light cover. The main reason I bought it was the information video about the hitch. It was a simple step by step video. Bought it for a very fair price and it installed just like they said. Arrived on time and was packed great. This is my site for future purchases. Rubber floor covering next on my list. Thanks for a great site to buy from.

by: Chris Carbone 04/12/2019 One Year Later

After one year of being on my truck (in the state of Maine taking winter and road salt abuse) I havent had any issues. The only thing I do suggest is every couple months oil the lock. Other than that no issues, great quality. I use it to keep my 20 ton pintle on the truck so its seen a fair amount of weight.

Recommended Air Bags for a 2026 Chevy Silverado 2500 and How to Perform Maintenance
Hey George, congrats on the new truck! You are definitely going to need to support the axle when lifting your Silverado with the Pacbrake Alpha HD Pro Air Bag Suspension Kit item # PB25RV. Lifting your truck by the frame will stretch the bags too far if you don't support the rear axle. This is a common issue amongst all brands of air bag kits. You'll want to make sure whoever is servicing your truck knows to support the axle or not put it on a lift. What are you planning on towing with...

Can Master Lock Hitch Locks 1480DAT And 1469DAT Be Keyed Alike?
Hello Oliver, thanks for reaching out. We can provide both the locks you mentioned, the Master Lock # 1480DAT and # 1469DAT, but I am sorry to say we do not offer a keyed-alike option for these. Both would come with a random key number.

Will The Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock 1479DAT Fit A 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser OEM Hitch?
Hi Andrew! The Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Swivel Head Design - 2" Hitches # 1479DAT has 2-3/4" of useable space, but I think I would go with one that has a little more just to be on the safe side. With that said, if I were doing this, I would go with the Master Lock Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch Lock for 2-1/2" Receivers # 1469DAT. This has 3-1/4" of useable space, but the same 5/8" diameter pin. Toyota is notorious for having thick hitches and with this one you may end...

How Long is Hitch Pin For Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock
Hey Michael, The Threaded Hitch Pin for Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock # TH62RE is 4-1/2" long overall, with the threaded portion being 1-3/8" and the rest being 3-1/8". It is longer than most, which are often 3-1/2" or so, and I know Toyota users have had success with it in the past. That said, it's important to note that this is a replacement part for the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 and is threaded for Thule racks.

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.

Best Hitch Pin Lock for 2-1/2 inch Trailer Hitch
Hey Dave, I really like the InfiniteRule Hitch lock part # 34061072-D that you referenced for a 2-1/2 inch hitch. It's made of stainless steel and also in the US, plus our customers have let us know how much they like it so it would work great for you. The only other option I would recommend considering is the Master Lock part # 1469DAT as it has a 90 degree lock cylinder which can be easier to access if the area around the hitch pin is tight. This is also made of stainless steel.

Does Master Lock Hitch Lock for 2-1/2 Receivers Come Keyed Alike?
There is a hitch receiver lock which fits 2-1/2" hitch that can be keyed alike, though the Master Lock # 1469DAT cannot be.

To get these locks all with the same key, just choose the "keyed alike" option in the drop-down box, and add the number you need in the "quantities" box. I've...

Troubleshooting Jammed Key in Master Lock Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch Lock

This lock and key set does come with a limited lifetime warranty so that may be worth looking into as well.

Extra Long Locking Trailer Hitch Pin for 2015 Toyota Tundra
The factory installed hitch on the Tundra is wider than a typical 2 inch receiver, so a normal 2 inch hitch lock won't fit. We offer an extended length lock, part # e98881. Multiple locks are available keyed alike, use the drop-down box on the product page. We don't carry a lock with the part number you mentioned, so I tried looking it up online and found no result.

Recommended Anti-Rattle Device For a 2" Receiver For Trailer Towing
Yes, the Curt Anti-Rattle Kit for Hollow Shank # C69HR will hold up when pulling your equipment trailer. This will only work on ball mounts for a 2" receiver with a hollow shank.

It will also allow you to use a Hitch Lock # 1469DAT to secure your ball mount if you prefer to leave it in your receiver.
