This is a great product! I bought this product after I had my bikes stolen off my truck, while chained to the bike rack. The thieves simply undid the bolt and took it all. $300 rack, 4 bikes, and the chain. Gone. This product replaces the nut with a lock. It is easy to use and I feel secure knowing someone can’t just take it. The company was great. Quick shipping and answered all my questions.
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.
I was told delivery by Friday received Tuesday late afternoon, another weekend without the bikes. Friday was a holiday understandable Tuesday not so much
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.
Great locking device, will keep the opportunistic predator from getting your bikes or your bike carrier. Provides an extra piece of mind.
After slightly over a month, the correct Thule hitch lock THSTL2 $[XX] is finally here with the assistance of Jennifer Customer Service Supervisor. Although the previous locks were said to be compatible, they were not! I was on the verge of returning the Thule Hitching Post Pro because the 3 prior hitch locks were not fitting properly. I'm happy to report of a happy ending.
This kit had exactly what we needed to be able to lock our Thule bike rack in place. It arrived timely and included all parts and instructions we needed.
etrailer helped with replacing a lost set of a Thule bike rack locking system. The kit saved money instead of ordering each part separately. This was helpfully pointed out by Stacey. Everything works perfectly. Amazing customer service considering how big etrailer is with thousands of orders going out.
This bike rack is now used with a very fine Curt receiver hitch for my Mercedes SLK320 also purchased from eTrailer.
I recently ordered a much needed replacement product from etrailer after having done business with them at least twice previously. They stock quality products and more importantly their products are priced competitively. Rather than buying a trailer hitch as an Automotive Company's OEM product, I got a much better value from etrailer. Since that time and recently when I needed a locking bolt for a bike rack, I again made a value purchase buying an "open box" product, last week. In my book, etrailer will continue to be a go-to value supplier.
Well built and sturdy rack. It was east to assemble and slid right into the hitch. I didn't know about the extra bar for womans bike so it was a hassle getting my wife's bike on the rack. I will be purchasing the adapter bar.
I had recently purchased a Sportrack Crest 2 Locking bike rack for my 2014 Toyota Tacoma Dbl Cab. The anti seize bolt pin was not long enough for the included lock, to engage. It was almost a 1/2 inch short. I contacted Sportrack support, and was told that was the only bolt that was available for that model.
I was also told, they would bring it up at there next weekly meeting? I replied back to them with all my information of measuring my 2" hitch receiver inner and outer circumference, taking photos of the bolt pin installed, in hopes that Thule would help me find a resolve, as I was unable to use the Sportrack Hitch Lock, thus leaving my bike rack unsecured.
I got a reply back from Thule, again saying that they would bring it up at there next weekly meeting, and also said to me, that this product had been in production for 25 years or more, and it was highly doubtful, that the accessory was available. Really? How could I be the only one with this problem, surely others have run into this same problem, and I even read a couple reviews of that very fact.
A couple weeks later, no response or any support from Thule. So I decided to do my own research and try to find a resolve. Then I fould etrailer.com. I spoke with Theresa, and explained my problem. She and I went to work looking on there website to find a replacement or suitable anti seize threaded bolt pin, that had same overall dimensions, but just a longer length.
Much to my surprise, we found the bolt, and it was longer, and looked to be able to work. Oh and guess what! Its made by THULE!! Imagine that!!
Only problem was, the end of the bolt, had a different machine cut where the lock I had would engage, and it would be a gamble trying it, even though the price was reasonable.
We found the resolve, and saw that Thule did make not only that bolt, but also they made it in a complete locking version (THSTL2), that included a bolt, lock cylinder, master key, and reg set keys, and a Thule brand lock and a nice tool to tighten up the bolt once it was threaded into the receiver and into the hitch threads.
While it was more money, I was pretty sure this would work, in replacing the useless Sportrack anti-seize threaded hitch pin and lock, that came with my Sportrack Crest 2 Locking. It arrived, and took me all of less than 5 mins to open the package, insert the tumbler, test the keys, and install the threaded bolt, and lock it with the new lock. Now my rack is secured to the hitch.
I couldn't be happier with the support I received from etrailer, and no thanks to Sportrack/Thule customer support, that they left me in the dark, with a product that obviously had a compatibility issue with my vehicles receiver size. I give 5 stars for the support I received from etrailer.com, who took the time to assist me.
Paul - 11/21/2020Love that I can lock the bike mount onto the rear of the car and not worry about theft. The lock mechanism is lightweight yet secure.
Linda - 02/13/2022Alex went the extra mile on this Thule bike rack hardware order. He provided the customer service that I assumed extinct. Now I know it is merely endangered. Alex was first rate.
Worked great on our road trip from Juneau, AK to California across the Yukon Territory and British Columbia in Canada. Used a little bit of lock-tite on the bolt and it did not come loose once. I recommend using a socket wrench to install and remove the bolt or it will take you a while to get it done.
This was really easy to install and fit nicely with my hitch and bike rack.
The product itself is fine, the concept is all wrong! If the idea is to prevent somebody from stealing your bike rack by removing a 10mm bolt (17mm head)--what this hitch lock replaces---then it overlooks the criminal mind that would see the other 2 10mm bolts that hold the rack in place. Easily removed and away goes your rack. You would need to weld those 2 bolts in place to make your rack secure with this single locking device.
High quality, works well, no issues.
Easy to install....etrailer corp. was fantastic with their advice and guidance. Product so much easier than roof mounted racks. Looking forward to extended use. Thanks for your help.
I bought hitch and bike rack and hitch lock , Excellent!
Looks like it will work nicely on my Thule bike rack, but since it’s still a couple weeks before biking season begins, haven’t had a chance to use it yet.
I haven’t used the lock yet but it was all there and packaged well. Hope to use it soon.
Thank you, Lonnie
It works great. There is no rattle and it doesn't come loose. It stays on my truck permanently.
I went through so many hitch locks before purchasing one from here and I AM SOO HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE. I should have purchased from Thule from the start.
Well made product. Easy to install except I had to remove the trailer electric connection to give the bolt enough room to go through on my '07 Explorer. Should do the trick, which is basically a deterrent. The price was excellent as well.
It meets our needs. However, the cover to the key hole keeps falling off.
