Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Swivel Head Design - 2" Hitches - 1479DAT

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (119 Customer Reviews)

This swivel head design hitch lock from Master Lock secures your ball mount, bike rack or cargo carrier to your hitch.

All products arrived as described. The etrailer video describing the trailer hitch installation, specifically for my vehicle was invaluable. With the help of the video I installed the hitch myself with no problems. Thanks for offering fairly priced products with quick delivery and excellent customer support.



by:

Works great on locking my drop hitch and keeping the stealing
mother[truckers] in my town from getting my drip hitch



by:

This is a great hitch lock for my Yukon XL with a factory hitch. Because it locks into the sude, not the end, of the keyed part it fits nicely in the recess where my hitch is located.



by:

One year later, the lock is working great! It is sturdy and reliable.



by:

Awesome and easy to use lock to keep your hitch away from sticky fingers!



by:

Perfect for the 2008 Honda Element SC setup! Leaves room to put the cap on and still get the safety chains hooked up.

Very well made. Fast shipping. I have purchased many items and always happy.

This lock is well made and works, but it is difficult to lock. It is designed with a spring-loaded and cammed locking mechanism so that you should be able to push the keyed barrel onto the shaft without using the key, but it is very difficult to do. I usually end up needing to insert and turn the key to get the two pieces to mate. This is not convenient when you are bending down and working underneath the truck's bumper. Pushing the two pieces together is already a two-handed job without having to turn the key. Other than this it is a quality product, but usability is very important.

Within 2 weeks this lock fell off while I was pulling a trailer, causing the hitch to pull out of the receiver. Luckily I had the safety chains hooked up so I didn’t lose the trailer in traffic. But I was stranded at the side of the road and had to walk to an auto parts store to get another hitch pin. This was a result of the locking mechanism being too difficult to secure. I thought it was locked correctly but obviously not.



by:

Have used it on about 8 deer hunting trips with my storage rack. No complaints. It does what it is supposed to do. The dirt cover keeps the key hole clean and the lock clips onto the bolt easy. Also the bolt diameter matches the hole on my 2016 Grand Cherokee perfectly without any play.

Thank you for checking in. I really like the hitch cover...the only problem is all of the yellow s have fallen out and the black is starting to come out as well. I know this is not your fault and your service has been great. The lock I purchased works really well.



by:

Good locking pin, not compatible with the bike rack we purchased as the pin hole is threaded for the bolt/pin the rack comes with.

Because of the threaded in the shank of the SportRack Ridge Swing bike rack you purchased, a standard locking hitch pin wont be compatible. Id recommend the SportRack Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock, part # SR0901. You can see this lock by using the link Ive provided:



by:

Easy to use. The lock won't lock unless you have the key inserted and that is a very good thing. We've been using it for over a year now and it is working fine.

Works fine. We like it. Very simple and easy to use. You cant lock it unless you have the key in it. That is a big plus.



by:

The built-in receiver on our Chinook rv had very little side room to insert and lock a locking hitch pin with which to secure its receiver extension. A straight-thru locking pin wouldn't work, but this swivel head locking pin, with it's 90 degrees different end latch came to the rescue. It gave the access needed to lock the extension, it feels solid, and has a heavy duty weather protection cap. Another super thing about it is the ease with which it locks. Leave the key in it and shove the pin shaft into the latch, and CLICK--it's locked. Unlocking is just as simple.

For those of you who stay in motel/hotels while on the road, or leave your boat trailer in a parking area while having fun, trailer security is important.Thieves can unhook your trailer and make off with it when you're asleep or away. This handy little device locks your ball hitch into the receiver. Short of getting a Sawsall to cut things up, when used in combination with a coupler lock, this will keep anyone from unhooking you. It's more expensive than just a standard pin, but what are the contents of your trailer worth? This thing is well-made, and has a rubber cover to keep dirt out of the tumbler. It's definitely worth the money.



by:

great product...easy to use...and prevents hitch and/or cover from being stolen.

still on the vehicle and has been used all year. working out GREAT!!!



by:

The lock works as advertised. Simple, straightforward. Small point, when first inserting the pin through the receiver the O-ring can hang up on the receiver and make attaching and locking the pin difficult. This can be frustrating to account for on difficult to reach couplers (standard height SUV vs. lifted pickup truck). We’ll see how it holds up in the harsh environment it will be subjected to.



by:

Good product, exactly what I was looking for.



by:

I like it, easy to use, fits and works ok.



by:

Great lock for my new hitch.



by:

Have had on truck for a year. Recently changed hitch ball size. Lock worked easily. Stainless still looks nice. Good product.



by:

This is a high quality, user friendly hitch lock. I purchased one from Walmart that took “Three Men and a Baby” to lock and unlock. This one locks with one hand and is a snap to remove. Delivery was supernaturally fast ( just as fast as [online retailer subscription service]) . I highly recommend this product and etrailer. com.



by:

Hello... the products i ordered and received, was just fine..exactly what i needed.. 5 stars... with the exception of packaging.. the hitch wasnt wrapped or contained properly.. it was hanging out side of box. Had some scratches on it, but thats fine.. no problem.. just poor packing.. will be ordering from y'all again... soon..thanks



by:

I haven't used this yet, but I have tested it and it fits perfectly with my hitch setup on my 2014 Dodge Durango and looks nice. I like the cover to keep the key hole from getting ice in it since I will be traveling on the road in the winter.



by:

This hitch pin lock has worked flawlessly for me over the last year since I purchased it. I have zero complaints.

  • Locking Hitch Pin For Hitch On 2024 Tesla Model Y With Limited Room Around Receiver
    Hello Jason, thanks for reaching out. I do have a potential solution for you, but we are not aware of a locking pin that is made specifically to be compatible with the hitch on a 2024 Tesla Model Y. Your Best option for this will be to use a lock with a swivel head design like the Master Lock # 1479DAT. This allows the face of the lock to stick straight back instead of off to the side which makes operating the lock much easier with limited clearance. The overall length of the lock is 5-3/8"...

  • Why Doesn't Masterlock Hitch Lock part # 1479DAT Have Towing Capacity
    The Masterlock Hitch Lock part # 1479DAT does not have a specified towing capacity. Reason being that rarely does the hitch pin bare the weight of the trailer it's towing. The tongue weight of the trailer binds the ball mount up in the hitch which provides nearly all of the horizontal resistance to prevent the ball mount from sliding out.

  • Will the Master Lock Swivel Head Hitch Lock Fit on a 2010 Ford Explorer 2 Inch Receiver
    Yes, the Master Lock Swivel Head Receiver Lock, # 1479DAT, will work with the 2 inch receiver on your 2010 Ford Explorer. This lock is designed to fit all 2 inch trailer hitches and is also designed to work with OEM trailer hitches that have limited clearance for a hitch pin because the hitch pin hole sits close to the hitch crosstube.

  • What is the Pin Diameter for Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # 1479DAT
    The Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # 1479DAT, has a pin diameter of 5/8 inches. On a 2 inch trailer hitch the pin hole is going to take a 5/8 inch diameter. On a 1-1/4 inch hitch it will use a 1/2 inch diameter pin. I have included a link to a video review of this lock for you.

  • Does the Trailer Hitch Lock # e98880 Have Rubber Grips on Each End
    The black rubber grip is just on the one end of trailer hitch lock # e98880. The other end has a rubber cap that covers the key hole but no rubber around the rest of the locking piece. Master Lock hitch lock # 1479DAT is more like what you have described.

  • Recommended Locking Hitch Pin For a Hitch Mounted Bike Rack
    I believe all you'd need then is a locking hitch pin like the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Swivel Head Design # 1479DAT. This is going to lock your bike rack to your receiver to your receiver, includes 2 keys, and has a weather resistant cover to keep debris and dirt out of the keyway. This'll be a great option as long as your bike rack does not require a threaded hitch pin. Some bike racks use a threaded locking hitch pin like the Hollywood Racks Threaded Hitch Lock for...

  • Can I Tow A 2018 Chevy Equinox Using A Maxx Tow Dual Hitch MT70070
    The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-8 that you referenced is designed for flat towing vehicles and an additional accessory like a bike rack, for example, with the additional 2 x 2" opening. It does provide an 8" drop and you will not need an additional receiver to accomplish this. It allows your tow bar to set level as you flat tow the vehicle. Hitch pins and clips are not included so if you need, the Curt Pin and Clip For Class III, IV and V Trailer Hitch # C21500 is...

  • Right Angle Lock for RockyMounts MonoRail
    Hi Jeff; is the problem that the lock end won't fit in the space you have on the Tesla or that you're unable to lock it? When I reached out to RockyMounts they said they have had dozens of customers use the Curt 23504 which has the same locking end as the 23502 you have right now. If you weren't able to get it to lock onto the end I would give it another try since that is their best solution. If not, I can see if I can pull one of the racks and try out a lock like the # 1479DAT you looked...
