Question:
I have the M12 threaded anti-rattle pin and Im looking for a compatible version with a lock. Ive seen a similar question on your site answered that there is no such thing and a cable lock is the only option. However even if there isnt a threaded lock with the same thread size and density, there could be a lock that fits on the end of this M12 pin. Is there something compatible or is some clumsy cable lock my only choice? Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The best option to add a locking hitch pin to your Rola cargo carrier or bike rack would be to try either the Threaded Hitch Pin for Swagman 2" Hitch Racks part # S64027 or the HitchMate Threaded Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches part # HE6001. As you mentioned, they do not make a locking hitch pin specifically for their carriers but they have had success with other manufacturers. However, we have not tested any of the other manufacturer's hitch pins yet so I cannot guarantee either will work. Unfortunately, they do not make a lock that will go on the end of this threaded hitch pin
The only guarantee we can offer to lock your Rola cargo carrier or bike rack would be with the Tow Ready Cable Lock part # TR63255.
