Best Car Trailer Hitch Locks

I found this product to be as advertised. Solid, well made. I chose this one, because I needed to be sure my Bacchetta Giro recumbent would fit it. The product was easier to install than it was for me to figure how to adjust it, so that my recumbent would fit it — mainly because of the seat and the other gear I had on the bike. I didn’t want to have to remove/move any gear every time I wanted to transport the bike. But once I figured that out, the setup is golden. It’ll be easy to get the bike on and off. Also, because I have only one recumbent to transport, I can access the hatchback without taking the bike off the rack! Thumbs up!

Works well. Bolts through Hitch receiver so you can snug it down to avoid rattling. Locking cap just spins around unless unlocked, so about impossible to remove.

Fast shipping. Quality of locking pin and cable feel great.

Excellent product, especially for the price. My only complaints are that it can't be unlocked with one hand, as it will just spin with the key without holding the body and that the key is captive until relocked. Not big deals, but I'm old enough and my vehicle is low enough, that it requires getting on my knees.

I purchased this for my 2020 Lexus NX 300h along with a wiring kit and a traier hitch. I had the wiring and hitch equipment installed at a local auto shop, and I've been pleased with all the equipment. I purchase this product as an accessory and it works well. I was also pleased with the E-trailer order and delivery process. I would definitely order from E-trailer again!

Arrived quickly. Rack mounted easily. Trying to use an alternate locking hitch pin did not work out well so I’ve changed it for the Thule brand locking pin

I have used this locking pin a few times now and it works great. Fits my class 1 hitch receiver well.

Excellent Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, works very well!

Clearance around the Tesla Model Y hitch receiver is tight but this anti-rattle hitch lock fit perfectly, even after torquing it to spec. The lock mechanism on the left comes very close to the 7-pin connector but it doesn’t touch and the lock rotates freely around the pin. Product appears to be of high quality.

This is a brilliant designed anti-rattle hitch receiver. Easy to install, it both locks your hitch and prevents any shaking from bumps and hard turns. I use it primarily with the Reesa Cargo Carrier, and the carrier is completely locked into the hitch. Also kudos on the great video showing how it works and install instructions. Highly recommended.

The product looks to be a good quality item. But it is hard to rate something that stops bad things from happening. It does provide that first important thing: deterrence.

The lock-to-receiver is great, but the hitch lock-to-ball was too small diameter. I really didn’t like it so just stayed with my master lock.

awesome lock set! The keyed alike hitch pin and cable with 4 keys are a great design idea. Also, the lock for the hitch pin can just be snapped onto the pin and secured without having the key inserted. I also have a Rocky Mounts Rack and that requires the key to be inserted and in the unlocked position to secure it on the hitch pin. Hollywood does it better!

Perfect! ETrailer will always be my go-to source for trailering needs. I find the videos and descriptions incredibly helpful and the customer service is the best.

Always good to get my trailer supplies here. Very friendly staff and very knowledgeable. Quick delivery as well

Installation was exactly as shown… very prompt delivery too.. excellent customer service

Authentic Yakima replacement part. Better purchase options than (another site) if the locks were in stock there. Easy ordering, super fast shipping and excellent communication throughout the process. Hope I can find more stuff to buy from

Dinked it a star because the dust cap does not stay on from the moment of installing. Should be rubber and not slippery ill fitting vinyl. Snaps on the Yakima Longarm Load Extender's receiver lock screw and does it's job of securing your high priced well manufactured Yakima product.

I had this hitch on my Jeep for 10 years. When the Jeep went south I got a Tacoma but wanted to put the Orange Stinger on the new truck. I had no idea they even made different length pins. My old one was too short. Found this guy on etrailer and it is long enough, and then some. Looks like padlock design is easier to use than the flush button end thingy I had before. The rubber dust cover I am not so sure it will be there for long as it just semi-snuggly slides over the end. But I am happy with this pin so far.

When purchasing the item I was unaware the country of origin was China. Not trusting Chinese quality I’ll search for another unit to use for heavy towing.

I use this lock on the my Brophy 7 inch hitch adapter that is on my bike rack. Works! Easy on and off. No rattles or play after a year of use in rain, snow and sunshine cause it is so rugged. And I don't see how you could cut it off. You would need a torch. So it gives me security peace of mind on the road and overnight in hotel parking lots.

Quality construction. The bolt is stainless and much thicker than other entitle pins of this design. The holder for the nut was a little large for my accessory but it’s plastic so it was easy enough to trim with tin snips and a sanding block. Does an excellent job of stopping any rattle or movement of the hitch accessory.

The hitch lock spans my new 2.5 inch receiver with about 1/4 inch to spare and is now lockable. The original hitch tite pin is the same length but the lock on this item locks from the side and makes better use of the pin.

Fits my Hollywood Destination II rack perfectly

My wife and I bought a set for our utility trailer in 2018, and we were very pleased… We still use it. Last year, we bought the same set for our new boat trailer, and it works perfectly. I’d highly recommend this package.

Great kit with common keys to keep our trailers close by and under our control.

I have two curt channel hitches on two different trucks and it was hard to find a quality extra long hitch lock. These work perfect!

I just received the trailer locks and they were the perfect size and good quality.

Just over 1 month and this lock has already failed. Simply unscrewing the bolt 1 time with the lock on the other side still engaged gave enough pressure against the receiver to pop it off. Very dismayed as it seems to be the only hitch lock compatible with the curt 5 bike rack.

I purchased this to connect my new Curt Tray-style Bike Rack (model # 18085) to my new Curt Custom Fit-Class III- 2", Trailer hitch (model # 13530). All of this went on my 2008 Lexus CR350 SUV. I was concerned that was not listed to fit the Curt model hitch and bike rack but it was exactly what was needed to keep. My new equipment locked. I could not be happier. I was able to install everything by myself in minutes. Everything was a perfect fit and now I am ready to take my bikes anywhere!

The hitch pin broke on the first trip with the SR2415 bike rack carrying 3 bikes. This rack is rated to carry 4 bikes and the hitch pin is compatible with this bike rack. As you can see in the photos, the color of the outer shell is different from the inner metal of the nut, which I perceive as the nut is not made of the same metal all throughout. Not sure why. The cable lock is NOT compatible with this rack and eTrailer should correct the answer registered on this site regarding this, which I had asked before purchasing this. Etrailer shipping was as always fast but unfortunately this product is seriously bad and is risky to use. Luckily my bike rack did not fall off the hitch and did not go flying on to other cars. I had to go to a local hardware store and buy a 3.5 inch length 1/2 nut and bolt, which worked just fine while returning.

Install was easy though instructions were adequate at best. Lock that holds bike rack to receiver is good daytime deterrent but make sure the lock in snapped in all the way by making sure the bolt in tightened in all the way. Original lock fell off. The bike cable lock is fine for daytime parking at a lot but would not depend on it to deter thieves with a bolt cutter at 3 am. I would use in in combination with a stronger lock then. Delivery was fast and product arrived as described. Blister pack was a pain to open of course.

Looks like high quality kit. Fits the pin on my Yakima bike rack perfectly.

I feel more secure now that I can lock my rack

This is probably one of the best stainless hitch locks of the regular through-pin style locks. It installs flush, and uses a solid pin. The locking side is also beefier than most, and sits tighter and deeper on the pin than most other pin locks - making it harder to try and hammer it off, or getting at the pin with a cutting tool. The lock uses large solid ball bearings for the lockup, and a disk style locking mechanism, which is harder to pick without specialty tools. So overall, one of the best regular pin style locks. We towed a 6'x12' that weighed around 6,000lbs from PA to FL without any issues with the pin-lock. We actually had to disconnect our trailer along the way, a few times, and the pin was easy to work with, and the lock really smooth. Don't hesitate to get it.

I purchased this Bulldog pin for my 2015 Yukon with a factory installed hitch. In this application this Bulldog hitch pin fits very well. I selected this pin due to its simple design and the generally compact diameter of the lock cylinder and the pin's beveled head-end. The lock cylinder diameter is import since GM penetrates the nominal 2" ID hitch tube through a steel bulkhead. There is only 7/16" distance between the hitch tube's nominal 5/8" clearance hole edge and the face of the factory bulkhead. Also, the hitch tube is fillet welded to the bulkhead. Thus, both the pin head and the lock cylinder need to have some relief (i.e. the bevel on the pin head-end) in order to clear this external bulkhead weld. Most of the above fitment concerns are overcome by the Bulldog pin's grip length being greater than that listed on the etrailer site (and in their videos as well). Specifically, the grip length is 2-11/16" rather than the listed 2-1/2". See the attached photos. Note that in the first photo the lock cylinder is firmly seated on the ball locking end of the pin. In the photo note that the cylinder is fully engaged and locked, which would not be possible if the cylinder was not fully seated on the pin end. The first photo shows the dial caliper fully closed and properly reading zero. Also note that the GM hitch tube is 2-9/16" square (outside dim.), thus technically a 2-1/2" pin grip length would be inadequate in this application. Since I have a metal turning lathe I was prepared to machine the pin a slight amount in order to make it fit. Thankfully, this was not necessary since the grip length is 3/16" greater than advertised. The pin is Chinese made in "stainless steel". I did test the pin with a magnet and it does appear to be austinitic (high enough in Ni and Cr alloys) since the magnet had no attaction to the pin. I do like that the lock cyklinder has an internal o-ring to help keep out "road splatter". I also gave the lock cylinder a short squit of WD-40. In sum, a well designed rugged product at a fair price.

The lock is high quality and I like the fact that it is stainless steel. Works fine with the bike rack (1.5 inch receiver pin easily goes through the rack on a 2 inch receiver). Saves a lot of time over having to bolt things together every time I want to take the bike's out.

Package was opened upon arrival.

Exactually what we needed to lock an extension adapter on our trailer hitch from 1.25 to 2.0” for a bike rack. Worked perfectly. The screw lock keeps the bike rack from rocking and the locking mechanism safeguards the whole package.

This hitch lock was what I expected, provides me with the security I need for my hitch and my bike rack. I would definitely recommend this product.
