Replacement Locking Hitch Pin Options For A Thule Roadway 4 Bike Carrier 914XT  

Updated 08/26/2026 | Published 08/19/2026

Question:

Hello, I am wondering what hitch lock options you sell for my Thule bike rack model 914XT. I know that there is the Thule thstl2 but was wondering whether there was a less expensive option. Thank you.

Hi Andrew!

The Thule Roadway 4 Bike Carrier 914XT you have, as well as the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2, uses an M12 x 1.75 metric thread pitch for their pins. There aren't a lot of options for that size, but I do have two of them listed below:

Replacement Threaded Hitch Pin for RockyMounts Bike Racks - Qty 1 # RKY27MR
Replacement Hitch Lock Pod for RockyMounts Bike Rack # RKY12006

Hollywood Racks Threaded Hitch Lock for 2" Hitches # HRLHPT

Both of these use that same thread pitch and will fit your bike rack. Each include the lock and keys as well, but you would need to get two separate parts with the RockyMounts option. The Hollywood Racks option is an all in one part. Either way you go, these are going to be quite a bit less expensive than the Thule lock.

What kind of bikes are you carrying in your rack? And where do you typically go riding?

Thank you, Lazer. I carry usually 2 gravel bikes for my wife and I and mountain bike for my 7 year old. Because we have a 7 year old we are usually going to mellow trails in the Northeast. Thanks for your recommendations. Are the two locks equally durable, would you say? Best, Andrew

@AndrewK You're very welcome! And I think the Hollywood Racks lock # HRLHPT will be the longer lasting option out of the two. It is a little more expensive, but it is more "sealed" than the RockyMounts lock and will end up lasting longer in the weather you will end up seeing. I think it's the one I would go with. My pops did a triathlon in the Northeast, I think Vermont, in the early 2000s and I remember seeing pictures from it. The Northeast is very scenic! ^___^ Have fun out there and let me know if there is anything else I can help with down the road!
