It works great for locking up my e-bike. Either to the bike rack on my trailer or when I go out for a ride. I can lock it to any bike rack or pole.
by: Karen 10/08/2023
I love e-trailers!! It's great to continue doing business with a group of employees who care so much about their customers. And you are here is the USA!
by: David06/13/2023
These work great to secure each of 5 bikes to the Curt Bike Rack. I got extras as back up and haven't had to use them yet.
by: Keith 06/24/2023
Good bike chain - as sturdy as described and as expected. Long enough to wrap around the bike mount to the spare tire, for quick security.
by: Bruce 03/16/2023
I used this lock to secure my belongings on my vehicle’s hitch carrier platform during my three month trip trough AK last year. The cable lock worked flawlessly and provided much stress relief during my adventure
by: Diann07/08/2023
They work great. We link them to lock our generator. I do worry that someone could just take a hammer to them though.
by: Christopher12/13/2022
These work okay. It's also nice being able to have all of the locks keyed the same.
I purchased two, One for a 2-5/16" coupler a year earlier and this one for a 2" coupler. The larger one is still working okay, but this one failed after about 9 months. Not sure if defective or poor quality. Waiting to see how the other one holds up.
by: 09/12/2023
Heavy duty. Exactly what I was hoping for. Great price point. I will probably order another one of these exact cables.

Rubber tube cover without any logo makes the SRX the classy SUV it is.
by: T Lau01/20/2021
Easy to install. I have used this bike rake for 3 trips already. It has been great.
by: Rodney10/29/2022
The cable is pretty thin and the way you unlock it is by turning the key counterclockwise several turns to loosen the screw end attached to the cable. This is not a real high level of protection against theft however it suits my needs well. I use it to lock my dinghy to my other boat so no one can simply jump in it and motor away.
by: Nichole N05/19/2023
This was easy to install and my bike sure looks great!
by: Cheryl 09/24/2022
Best as the small end fits under our kayak ring at the front lock them up. Most others are too big in diameter .
by: Richard 07/30/2022
Works as advertised. We use this to lock the bikes on and off the bike rack.
by: Daf03/14/2023
Well made product, delivered on time. No issues at all. Thanks!
by: Pedro 10/04/2022
This has been very handy and I appreciate that I could get it keyed like my other locks.
by: John 03/02/2023
Great quality and length to slow down light fingers eyeballing my gear.
by: Thomas 03/29/2023
Very responsive and product arrived qujckly and as promised.
by: Gaird Z.10/31/2013
Awesome product! I use it to secure my mountain bike to my truck. Ironically the bike is worth more than the truck!
by: Richard 06/16/2020
I ordered pick up truck bed bike rack and a ten foot locking cable to secure the bikes. Both products are well made and the bike rack was easy to install. The locking can be used for many applications. I will probably purchase another one. I would recommend these items.
by: Joseph09/03/2022
Original part was missing key and they sent replacement immediately. Great customer service.

Quality products as described, well packaged, RTU

I have a Thule 4 bike hitch mounted carrier. With 2 street bikes, one on the rack closest to the vehicle and the other on the 3rd rack, I can run the CAB-10 through one of the trailer hitch safety holes and through both tires and the frames for each bike and lock them. Works extremely well and very quick. Locksmith said it was not possible to convert the key from my locking bike hitch or the CAB-10 to be the same, even though the keys looked like they were from the same family of locks. A minor inconvenience. Net, a well designed product, and works well for its intended purpose.
by: Rod K.06/26/2015
I purchased this cable to go through our 4 bikes that were mounted on a Thule Hitching Post Pro and through the Hidden Hitch Class III trailer hitch that I also purchased at the same time from E trailer. We just got back from a 1400 mile trip with the bikes. I felt secure leaving the bikes on the rack and in the motel lot overnight as well as at the Mall of America for a few hours while there. This 10ft. cable is easy to use and secures your bikes well, as well as the carrier from being stolen if you run it through the welded hitch loops.
by: Hubie05/09/2014
The cable/lock items I purchased are GREAT!! JUST as explained on the website. Have pre tested it and every thing is fine. Looking forward to using it very soon. It will be used some on our local adventures but for sure when we go south next year the cables will give me satisfaction that someone just can't lift off our bikes and run. He will need heavy duty bolt cutters to accomplish this. We have purchased numerous items from E-Trailer, bolt on hitch, lockable pin, locking cables and other items. This business is a fantastic, easy to order from and very quick delivery. Thanks.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Cable Locks
- What Does Keyed Alike Mean for etrailer.com Cable LockFor the etrailer.com Cable Lock part # e98891 when you select keyed alike and you order more than one lock we ship them to you with all the same lock core. What that means is that they all would use the same key. Each one comes with it's own set of keys but they would all match.
view full answer... - Recommended Cable Lock For MaxxHaul Platform-Style 2 Bike CarrierWe do not have a hitch pin lock that will work with the MaxxHaul Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, but I do have a solution for you. I recommend using a cable lock to secure both the carrier and the bikes when on the carrier. The cable lock I recommend is the 10-FT' Long Cable Lock, part # e98891. You can run the cable through the safety chain tabs on your trailer hitch and wrap it around the bikes as well to help deter theft.
view full answer... - Replacement Keys for the etrailer.com 10 Long Cable LockWe do not have replacement keys for the etrailer.com Cable Lock part # e98891. You can order multiple locks with the same key, but we do not have replacement keys.
view full answer... - Adding a Bike Lock to a Thule Hitch Bike Rack Without Integrated Bike LocksThule racks cannot have integrated cable locks added onto the rack. Instead, you'll need to use a cable lock like the 10' Long Cable Lock, part # e98891, to secure your bikes and rack together to the hitch's safety loop, improving the security of the rack and deterring theft.
view full answer... - Effectiveness of Cable Locks Included in Bike Racks Like Kuat Transfer 2 TS02GThe Torx wrench required to remove the integral cable lock on the Transfer 2 bike rack TS02G is not one commonly found in hardware stores, according to my contact at Kuat. But yes, this is what is required to remove the cable lock from the rack. The reality of bike rack locks, and most other types, is that they all can be defeated by a thief with enough time and determination. The true anti-theft benefit of a lock such as the cable type included in the excellent Kuat Transfer 2 hitch rack...
view full answer... - Solution for Replacement Cable Lock for Thule Trailblazer Bike RackI checked with Thule and for your Trailblazer 998XT they no longer have the cable system available as a replacement part sinc the rack has been discontinued for so long (2006). We do have the cable lock part # e98891 which is a 10 foot cable lock you could route through the wheels of your bikes and then back to the safety chain loop of your trailer hitch.
view full answer... - How to Lock Bikes to Older Model Thule Vertex Bike RackTo lock your bikes to your older model Thule Vertex Bike Rack, I just recommend using a cable lock like the # e98891. You can weave the cable around your bikes and then through the safety chain loops on your trailer hitch, which will also secure the rack to your vehicle. I have attached a short video demonstration on this cable lock that you can also check out.
view full answer... - Cable Lock Recommendation for Yakima Light Rider to Prevent Disassembly TheftI understand your concern about theft and I can help you with a solution that would work, but we also have never heard of someone willing to disassemble a bike rack like your Light Rider to steal. Not saying it would never happen but it's pretty unlikely. That being said what you could do is use a cable lock like # e98891 and route it through the wheels and frame and then back to the safety chain loops of the hitch on your vehicle and you would essentially be locking the bike to the hitch.
view full answer... - Does etrailer Cable Lock Warranty Cover a Stolen BikeThe warranty for the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 is for a manufacturing failure of the product and doesn't cover something being stolen.
view full answer... - Can the etrailer Cable Lock Be Used to Secure Kayaks to a Trailer with Kayak CarriersWhat you are saying makes sense to me. As long as your scupper holes are larger than 5/16" in diameter, the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 will fit through the holes. It seems like a pretty ingenious way to secure your kayaks, especially given that most kayaks do not have great locking points. The other nice thing about the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 is that if you order more than 1 and select the keyed alike option, you can have one key that operates all of the locks.
view full answer... - How to Lock ProSeries Q-Slot Bike Rack to VehicleThe ProSeries Q-Slot rack already includes an anti-rattle hitch pin, but doesn't offer a locking mechanism. You could use a cable lock like the # e98891 cable lock, and loop it around the bikes, the rack and the hitch or through one of the safety chain loops in the hitch to secure everything.
view full answer... - Cable Lock Recommendation for Thule Bike Rack that STL2 Wont FitWe don't have access to the older hitch lock you mentioned but a cable lock like part # e98891 would be a great alternative that would work well. You'd thread the cable through the bike frame and then through the safety cable loop of your hitch and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Is the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e99049 Able to be StolenThe 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e99049 is a bolt-on install which means you don't have to weld like you mentioned but if someone wanted to steal it and happened to have the correct size wrenches and time they could potentially take it. One solution would be to use a cable lock like the etrailer Cable Lock part # e98891 which you'd route around the rear bumper and then through the rails of the cargo carrier.
view full answer... - Can etrailer.com Cable Lock and Hitch Lock be Keyed AlikeYes, if you select "Keyed Alike" from the drop down menu below the price on the hitch lock part # e98882 and the cable lock part # e98891 we will ship you these two items keyed alike.
view full answer... - Do You Manufacture Your Own Parts?Yes. We do have some parts we manufacture in several different product lines. For example, we manufacture the etrailer Cable Lock - 10' Long - 5/16" Diameter - Steel - Keyed Alike # e98891. Feel free to respond to this answer if you are looking for a specific part.
view full answer... - Dimensions Of Eyelet On etrailer Cable Lock - 10' Long e98891I had our warehouse measure the etrailer Cable Lock - 10' Long - 5/16" Diameter - Steel # e98891 and the eyelet measures 7/8" as you can see in the included diagram. The overall length of the cable measures 10', and the diameter of the cable measures 5/16". I included a video review of the etrailer # e98891 for you to take a look at.

- Using an Adapter Bar with a Step Through Bike on a Frame Mount Bike RackAdapter Bars like part # 64005 can be used on platform frame mount racks. You'd load the bike as normal and clamp to the bar, rather than the bike frame. This however requires that you use a cable lock like part # e98891 to secure the bike to the rack, as the frame bar doesn't provide any security.
view full answer... - Hitch Lock Recommendation for Rola TX-103 Bike Rack Used in 2 inch HitchSince you said you are using the threaded pin of the Rola TX-103 3-Bike Rack 59403 that would indicate that you are using the rack in a 2 inch hitch. Since there isn't a threaded locking hitch pin that fits this rack your best option is a cable lock like the # e98891 which you'd run through the frame of your bikes and then to the safety chain loop of the hitch and you'd be set.
view full answer... - How to Lock Rola Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier to VehicleI do have a solution for you, however there is not a lock available that can be added to the Threaded Anti-Rattle Pin # 59915 for your Rola cargo carrier. At this time Rola does not make a threaded hitch lock that is designed to work with their carriers so your best option is to use a cable lock like the etrailer.com # e98891. What you can do is loop the cable through your carrier and then to the safety chain holes on your hitch to secure it to your vehicle. I have attached a short video...
view full answer... - Does Rhino-Rack Spare Tire Carrier Have a LockThere is not a locking device that comes with the Rhino-Rack Spare Tire Carrier # RSWH. That said, depending on if the wheel has any type of gap/hole/spoke in it you may be able to lock it to your carrier with a cable lock such as the etrailer 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891.
view full answer... - Is it Possible to Lock the Buyers Products Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier # 3375201012The Buyers Products Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier # 3375201012 secures into the stake pocket it installs in by using the included L-bracket to bolt it to the bottom of the pocket opening. It would take a thief having the right size wrench on them and knowing how it installs for them to steal it. While that's not something that's impossible it is something that would be pretty rare most likely. Aside from that there isn't a specific recommended way to lock it. You could run a cable lock...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Cable Lock for a Rola TX 104 Bike RackIf you know the key number then you'll just have to let me know what that is, otherwise you can just use a standard cable lock like the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891. If you can get back to me with the key number I'd be happy to find a replacement for you.
view full answer... - How To Lock The Rola TX-103 Bike Rack On A 2 Inch ReceiverThe Rola TX-103 3-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches is not compatible with any locking hitch pins that thread into the receiver so your best bet is to use a cable lock such as etrailer Cable Lock - 10' Long # e98891. This can wrap around your bike rack and then go through the safety cable hook/loop that is on your trailer hitch receiver to provide for a locking mechanism. I attached a short demonstration video for you.
