Question:

My bike rack is threaded. Will this pin slide thru and lock or do I need a threaded locking hitch pin

Expert Reply:

You will need a threaded locking hitch pin to fit your specific bike rack. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98882 will not fit with the threads that you have in the bike rack receiver tube.

You will want to ensure that the hitch lock you get is compatible with your bike rack. I will list a few of our locks that we carry and the manufacturers that they fit. If you can tell me which bike rack you have I can let you know exactly what lock you will need and if your rack already has keyed locks let me know the key code as we may be able to provide an additional key cylinder to match your keys.
