Replacement Lock for Yakima DoubleDown Bike Rack

Question

Question:

I am looking for a hitch pin lock compatible with the Yakima Double Down bike rack. I believe it is a 1/2 pin? Finding a non-Yakima lock would be great.

Hi Victor; like many other bike racks the Yakima DoubleDown uses a uniquely threaded hitch pin so you will need to stick with the Yakima replacement. The hitch pin is the # Y8890176 and then for the lock you can use the # Y07235.

If you had the version of the Yakima DoubleDown that used a threaded hitch pin the lock kit you'd want is the #Y07235 which would use the hitch pin the rack already has. If you wanted an option to lock the rack as well as bikes to the rack…

We have actually seen this issue before. The 2" receivers on Toyota trucks and SUVs have a slightly larger diameter on the outside of the receiver tube than most typical 2 inch hitches. This is partially the powder coating, but the steel itself…

Hey Eric, I spoke with Yakima and they unfortunately no longer offer a compatible hitch pin for the HookUp bike rack. Back when this was available there weren't double-walled trailer hitch receiver tubes so the pin length wasn't an issue. The…

The #Y8890200 hitch pin will fit the Yakima KingPin, but it still won't be long enough to pass through your wider that usual factory receiver on your Toyota Tacoma. You'll need to remove the threaded insert in the shank of your bike rack, and…

I believe you are referring to the Yakima HoldUp #Y02443. If you need just the HitchLock alone, that is the #Y07235. However, if you need the hitch pin that is compatible with both the HitchLock and the HoldUp itself, that is the #Y8890200.
