This hitch lock is a must have if you have an expensive bike rack. This gives a piece-of-mind and save you the hassles of installing and uninstalling the bike rack. It is very easy to install. 430759

Product order/delivery experience was outstanding. Product is definitely to carry my two bikes safely. Assembly was easy and fits on my new truck just fine. The shipment contained all three items that were ordered all coming in one box with a label clearly showing content of shipment.... so nice to not have anything missing. Out of the box in just a few minutes and passed my test drive.... solid fit, no rattles, and looks pretty good too! I purchased the Snug Site Hitch Lock and Anti Rattle Device Bike Adaptor Bar for my wife's bike. Very satisfied! 339375

Ordered the Draw-Tite 24763 for my 2015 Honda Civic Sedan, and was very satisfied at the speed and detail of not only the correspondence and email between etrailer.com but also the shipping speed and condition of packaging. I received this in six days from start to finish of order. I did not spring for faster shipping and was satisfied with this type of time frame considering the size and weight of packaging. I also got the Thule Hitching Post TH934XTR four bike rack and THSTL2 hitch lock anti-rattle device. I had planned ahead by watching all of the great videos on etrailer and printed out some instructions from the site. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised with their attention to detail that this was unnecessary as they included a copy of the same instructions I printed in the box. The install went exactly like the instructions/videos said it would and if I hadn't been interested in getting the beauty plastic underbody piece back on I could have been done in fifteen minutes with a lift and another set of hands. All in all a very easy kit to install, and thanks to etrailer for the speed, quality, and including all the necessary hardware and instructions. 5/5 would definitely do business with again and recommend. 269804

Thanks for following up - impressive.The products I bought from etrailer are great. The rack turned out to be quite the attraction as I had several people see me with it in use and come over to see how it works and ask where did I get it. Hopefully you received some orders from some of the people I referred to etrailer.The products I purchased and your service is great.

It sucks that Thule does not include this with the $400 rack they sell but well worth the additional cost and ease of mind knowing that it's now locked in place. Secures just like the original bolt, only now it's secured. Draw back is I have two keys, one to lock the rack to the car and the second for locking the bikes to the rack. 567350

Good lock. When tightened down, it really locks the hitch and rack together. Driving down the road, I noticed no shake at all - even going over some low grade bumps. Of course you can use the bolt Thule furnishes to lock it down if you don't want the anti-theft protection. I would have rated it "Excellent" except for the cost. Surely 50 bucks is overpriced! - BUT, it does the job 146478

Both the rack and the lock are working quite well. The rack is a quality product and I enjoy using it.

Easy setup, but serves more as a deterrent than an actual security device. Thule's low security lock can be easily bypassed or destroyed with little effort and few tools. 897883

Ask the Experts about this Thule Trailer Hitch Lock
- Replacement Thule 12mm Threaded Hitch Pin for Bike RacksAll Thule bike racks use the same hitch pin, so you will want the Replacement Threaded Pin for Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # 853-5917 or the complete pin and lock kit # THSTL2. This is the 12mm thread you mentioned.
view full answer... - Replacement M12 Bolt, Washer, and Lock Washer for Thule Vertex Bike Rack 9029The replacement parts you asked about for your (discontinued) Thule Vertex Bike Rack 9029 are part # 908-1240-54 for the M12 Bolt, part # 951-1224-54 for the Washer, and part # 956122159 for the Lock Washer. The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 would work as well but if you don't want/need the lock you can use the parts mentioned above instead.
view full answer... - Recommnded Trailer Hitch for Swing-Away Bike Rack On a 2011 Toyota RAV4The eTrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98864 is what I recommend you use on a 2011 Toyota RAV4 to carry a Thule hitch mounted bike rack such as the Thule Vertex Swing-Away part 9031XT. I took a look at the clearances needed for the Thule Vertex Swing-Away and the eTrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver will give you space between the rear spare tire so there won't be any issues. The eTrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver is a bolt-on option that is super easy to install as there are actually only...
view full answer... - Replacement Threaded Hitch Pin and Lock for Thule 921 Space Station BaseThe Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 is the newer version of the threaded hitch pin lock you described. It has the same thread size and pitch and will be long enough to work well. I've also linked out return policy as requested.

It will work perfectly with the Thule T2 Classic # TH9044 or the T2 Classic 4 Bike Rack # TH9044-TH9046.
view full answer... - Will the Anti-Rattle and Lock Mechanism Work for Thule Camber 4, 2 Bike Rack?Yes, the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 is compatible with the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack # TH9058. All you need to do is thread the hitch bolt through the hitch pin hole and attach the locking mechanism. This is also compatible with the Thule One Key system, letting you lock-alike all of your Thule accessories. I also recommend the Thule Cable Lock # TH538XT to secure your bikes to your bike rack.

This will work for you if your bike rack is one of the following: Thule Parkway (TH956, TH957 and TH958), Revolver (TH964), Ridgeline (TH954), Roadway (TH914, TH912, TH915), Hitching Post Pro (TH934XTR), Vertex (TH9028, TH9029, TH9030, TH9031), T2 (TH916, TH917), Hitching Post Pro (TH935XT, TH936XT, TH937XT, TH951XT), Expressway (TH995XT,...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Pin Lock For Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike CarrierSince bike carriers use thread-specific hitch pins, you will be limited when choosing a lock to secure the bike rack to your vehicle. Other manufacturer locking hitch pins will not fit the bike carrier you have. Since you purchased the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR, the hitch pin lock you will need is the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock, part # THSTL2. This hitch pin lock includes an anti-rattle device and will work for many of the hitch-mounted Thule bike carriers. I have...

- Compatibility of Hitch Locks for a Thule Passageway BikeThe Thule Snug-Tite Hitch Lock, part # THSTL2 and is the correct size and length for the Thule Camber, part # TH9058, and will provide ample protection, as well as being compatible with the Thule One Key system, letting you lock-alike all of your Thule accessories.
view full answer... - Will the Thule Snug Tite Bike Rack part # THSTL2 fit a Thule Trailway Bike RackI did some checking and the Thule Trailway bike rack is a rebranded Thule Parkway, and I also confirmed that the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock part # THSTL2 will fit your rack. I attached a review video of the product being demoed on a similar bike rack as yours for you to check out.
view full answer... - Thule Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device Compatibility with Thule 515-0109 Bike RackThe Thule 515-0109 is just a generic number that was used on their very old hitch mounted bike racks (mostly found in Europe). There are some models that will be able to use the # THSTL2 but I can't tell you if yours is one of those options. Other models will only be able to use the Replacement 12 x 40 mm Hitch Bolt for Thule Hitch Bike Racks and Goalpost Hitch Mounted Load Bar # 908-1240-54 for connection. The hitch bolt that comes in the # THSTL2 is M12 x 1.75 and is roughly 4 inches...
view full answer... - Does the Thule Vertex 4 Bike Rack Have a Hitch LockThe (discontinued) Thule Vertex 4 Bike Rack TH9029XT has an integrated cable lock which secures the bikes to the bike rack, but it only uses the anti-rattle hitch pin which doesn't lock. Thule does provide their Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 which will still give you that anti-rattle feature, while also adding on the locking feature that you are looking for. You can use the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450200 to use on both the bike rack and the Snug...
view full answer... - Recommended Anti-Rattle Lock for Thule Transporter Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier TH665CThe Thule Snug-Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 will work fine with your Thule Transporter Combi Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier # TH665C. The Snug-Tite will both lock the carrier to your Sorento and also reduce the tendency for it to wobble and rattle in the hitch.
view full answer... - Hitch Lock for a Kuat Bike carrier with 3/8 Inch Diameter Hitch PinSo the Thule Snug Tite lock # THSTL2 does not fit the Kuat pin because the Kuat pin is a 3/8 inch diameter. It is too small to fit the Thule lock. Kuat has a locking pin, # HL1. It fits 3/8 inch diameter pin holes. It has a useable length of 3-1/2 inches. The lock part is not available by itself.
view full answer... - Replacement Cable Lock for Use on Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike RackThe Thule Hitching Post TH934 never came with a cable lock, but if you had one added to it with the part # THSTL2 we do have the part # TH538XT which is a 6 foot long cable lock.
view full answer... - Will Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock Work with Older Model Thule Hitching Post # 91944?I spoke to a representative of Thule who confirmed the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 will work with your older model Thule Hitching Post. I would recommend you stick with the high-quality Thule brand for your cable lock, # TH538XT. For a boost of convenience, replace the lock cylinders with the Thule One-Key System, # TH450200. I have attached links to video reviews of each of these products for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Replacement Hitch Pin Lock for Thule T2 916xtrIf you need a replacement locking anti-rattle hitch pin for your Thule T2 2-inch platform carrier # TH916XTR you can use part # THSTL2. This kit includes the threaded hitch pin, lock assembly with both master control key and two replacement keys, and an installation wrench. Instructions are linked for your reference.
view full answer... - Thule Vertex Swingaway Replacement Hitch Pin Bolt RecommendationFor just the hitch pin bolt for your Thule Vertex Swing you'd want the part # 853-5917 that you referenced.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Thule Lock Cylinder that Won't UnlockIt's not super common but sometimes lock cylinders can get corroded and not want to turn/unlock. What Thule has told us in the past is to direct some spray lube like WD40 into the key hole and then insert and remove the key several times to help work the lube into the tumblers to release them.

- Installation Of The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle DeviceIt sounds like the lock core isn't seated properly in your Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2. I've attached a video to help you with this installation as the core should be slightly recessed when installed correctly. I've also linked the installation details for you to help as well.
view full answer... - Fixing Thule Parkway 4 bike Rack That's Rattling In Vehicle HitchWhere exactly is the rattling occurring? If the looseness is between the 1-1/4 inch shank and the 2 inch adapter sleeve, make sure the Allen head screw that secures the sleeve onto the shank is fully tightened. You can try a wrap or two of electrical tape around the 1-1/4 inch shank to act as a shim and hopefully tighten things up a bit. If the rattle is between the 2 inch sleeve and the inside of your receiver tube, you'll need to snug up the hitch bolt a little bit so it fits more tightly....
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Pin Lock For Thule Vertex Bike RackFor your Thule Vertex whether a 2 bike or a 4 bike tilting or swinging, the same lock is needed. It is the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2. This is the only compatible hitch pin and lock available for Thule bike racks. The # 853-5917 you referenced is the replacement pin for this lock set.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Lock for Thule Bike Rack I do have a solution for you, however the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable # S64030 referenced in your question will not work with your Thule Bike Rack. As you mentioned, this is because Thule Bike Racks have very specific threads and bolt sizes that will only be compatible with Thule accessories. I instead recommend using the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock # THSTL2. This will be compatible with the shank on your bike rack and will also serve as an anti-rattle device to minimize movement...
view full answer... - Hitch Lock for a Thule Vertex Bike RackWhen it comes to the Thule Vertex the only lock that is going to work is the Thule lock, # THSTL2. No locks from other brands, threaded or not, will fit. This is common for bike rack manufacturers in general and not just Thule.
view full answer... - Availability of Locking Hitch Bolt for SportRack # SR2901 Bike RackWe sure do have a compatible lock. You'll need the SportRack Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock, part # SR0901. For greater theft deterrence, SportRack also offers an Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock/Cable Lock combo, part # A32022. If you purchase the combo, both locks will be keyed alike, which is a nice feature that minimizes the number of keys to carry around. The # THSTL2 lock you referenced fits Thule racks, and isn't compatible with your rack. If you click the provided links, you can see product...
view full answer... - How to Lock a Thule Bike Rack to a Trailer Hitch ReceiverThe Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device part # THSTL2 will be the only hitch lock we have that is confirmed to work with a Thule bike rack. The majority of hitch locks for bike racks are specific to that rack and cannot be exchanged for an alternative lock. If you can let me know what you are trying to secure to your trailer hitch receiver then I would be more than happy to provide you with hitch lock options. However, if it is a Thule bike rack then you will have to use...
