Recommended Hitch Pin Lock For Thule Vertex Bike Rack

Question

Question:

Hi, Is this anti-rattle hitch pin, SR0901, compatible with a Thule Vertex? If not, could I use 853-5917 with a different hitch pin lock I have UHaul 2inch locking hitch set? Thanks for your help

For 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.

Hey Don! Unless you're trying to match a specific lock core/key the lock cylinders will all be the same. Assuming you want to add a lock to all four feet you can use the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4 #TH450400. These will all come…
