Question:
I have a non locking pin that I would like to replace with one that locks. My pin has an OAL of 4and7/8, a thread length of 1and1/2 with 11 threads per inch. The pin OD is 1/2. I have a PRO series 4 bicycle bike rack. Will the HLT-014 pin work. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The HitchMate Threaded Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # HE6001 has a 5/8" pin diameter and is designed for certain SportRack bike racks so it will not work for you. Hitch pin locks are designed for specific bike racks so if that's what you need it for, let me know what rack you have I can see if there is a lock that will work for you.
Otherwise, if you have a 1/2 inch diameter hitch pin that likely means you have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and we do have hitch locks with 1/2 inch diameter for a 1-1/4 inch receiver, the Tow Ready Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # TR63254 and Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 5200.
I have added links to video reviews of both hitch locks for you to check out.
