Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set - EZ Hitch and EZ HD Ball Mounts - Stainless - AM3493

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (72 Customer Reviews)

For use with EZ and EZ HD adjustable ball mount systems for 2-1/2" and oversize 2" receiver hitches, set includes a hitch receiver lock to secure shank to receiver and a locking adjustment pin to secure ball housing to shank. Stainless.

by:

Works fine. Just wish I had realized that that Anderson small hitch pin was larger. As the curt adjustable hitch I bought uses 5/8 pins for both.



by:

Perfect! Fits the 2013 factory Tundra hitch PERFECTLY. Same key system, locks ball mount to sleeve, sleeve to receiver. I had been looking for this type of hitch/key lock for some time and was very happy with all the help E-Trailer and Jena provided in getting me one of their newest items of their inventory. I'll keeping back.



by:

Works fine. Locks easily, but rubber cap doesn't stay on. Only used one camping season so far, so I don't know if lock internals will corrode over time without the protective cover. Considering thievery, probably worth it regardless.
Probably worth

You have already taken a good first step in choosing a stainless steel lock that will resist rust even without the cap. To be honest the caps do not last the longest and this is true of any lock. I recommend using graphite in the lock from time to time to keep it clean inside the lock and to also store the lock out of the weather when you do not need to use. This will keep the lock in working shape longer.



by:

The quality was very good, but I thought these hitch locks were for both locations on the Anderson Hitch. Instead there were (2) different size pins for the same location on the hitch ball.



by:

Very well made, easy to unlock/lock and the common key makes it easier to keep track of. My only complaint is that in the online catalog doesn’t indicate that these locks won’t fit the #AM3410 hitch that I purchased them for.



by:

I needed to pull my hitch to replace it with my receiver mount 4-wheeler hold down and the pin was locked up. It would unlock, but the 2 ball bearings wouldn’t let the pin out to allow the locking end of the pin to release. As a result, instead of using my incredibly efficient hold down, I had to tie down the 4 wheeler the old way and find a spot to haul my hold down home in an already filled truck.



by:

Works well, should just be included with hitch.

This pins work great for anti-theft, keys fit well and stay with the lock until back in place. Rubber caps are a bit loose, so I wouldn't bet on them sticking around forever.



by:

Arrived quicker then I expected and the quality looks high quality.



by:

I really like these locks. They have held up to quite a bit of abuse, especially considering one is used in a front hitch and sees all kinds of weather and road debris. The only issue I've had is the locks themselves get a little stiff (like any lock would), so a quick squirt of lubricant every now and then keeps them working smooth.



by:

Received product on time. The receiver lock for perfect on my Chevy 2500 with a 2 1/2" hitch. It is snug and does not rattle. The locking mechanism is very positive and you know that it is locked or you can't pull the key out. Only time will tell about the the manufacturer's claim of no seizing and no rust. The o rings look like they will deteriorate because half of the ring is exposed. Hopefully it is easy to find at a hardware store when it breaks down.



by:

Great product - highly recommend
Really
sturdy - easy unlocking with key
Like the rubber closure keeping the keyhole covered
So far no rust
Happy motoring!!!



by:

First of all, etrailer has been my supplier of truck and trailer parts for years and a pleasurer to do business with, great service... The hitch locks where as advertised, the hitch was perfect!



by:

The product is good, exactly as expected. etrailer ordering and processing service is also very good ... thank you. I wish they could avoid CA sales tax like last time I ordered. Shipping was a bit slow ... UPS takes their time.



by:

I ordered a pin lock set and a part was missing. Called there 800 number and they email me a shipping label to return the bad part. They shipped out my new one the same day. Very good service.



by:

Not what I thought. Did not fit my app lication.

LIKE THE WAY ITS MADE
HAD TO REPLACE
MY OTHER HITCH AND BALL THAT WAS STOLEN
BOUGHT THE LOCKS THIS TIME



by:

I love these locks. Always easy to lock and unlock. I like the fact you can't remove the key until it's properly locked.



by:

The nice thing about this lock is the longer bar which was a better fit on my Toyota Sequoia hitch.



by:

Cannot get unlocked anymore. So corroded it doesn’t operate



by:

I ordered The lock set for the EZ hitch and it was just as described and fit perfect. Fast delivery and easy check out.



by:

No Rust on this lock after 1 year & the cylinder still operates smoothly...Great buy!



by:

Works great, easy to use on adjustable hitch



by:

Easy ordering, fast shipping, works great with new adjustable hitch....



by:

Excellent all stainless construction. Locking and unlocking a breeze. Great product.



by:

A must have to protect your investment. One key for both locks a plus.

See what our Experts say about this Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock

  • Anti-Rattle, locking, Stabilization Pin that will not Rust
    I have just what you need, a stainless steel locking anti-rattle hitch pin for you. I suggest the Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches part # SR25219. You will need a hollow shank for this to work. For a solid shank, you will want the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock part # AM3493 for the lock in addition to our Brophy Stabilizer Bracket part # RHSB for anti-rattle.

  • Locking Hitch Pin Recommendation for B&W Tow and Stow Ball Mount
    Actually, the latest version of the # TS20050B (our part number # BW54FR ) Tow & Stow features an integrated anti-theft component as shown in the provided photo.. A slot is cut into the adjustment channel near the top of the shank. To remove the ball mount platform from the shank you will need to remove the entire ball mount from your hitch. Then remove the pins that hold the platform in place. Flip the platform around to the stowed position on the rear of the shank, and then slide it...

  • Hitch Pin Lock with 5/8 inch Diameter and 3-1/2 inch Span
    We have a pin lock that's sold individually that has the 3-1/2 inch span you need with the same diameter as the # AM3493 but the included lock of this is 5/8 inch which is the standard hitch pin size. So for that we have the # WS05 which has a 3-1/2 inch span and a 5/8 inch diameter. For the larger hitch sizes like 2 inch and up (including 3 inch) the diameter hitch pin used is 5/8 inch.

  • Is There a Locking Ball Mount Rated for Over 10,000 lbs?
    The only B&W Tow & Stow ball mounts we offer that have a towing capacity over 10,000 lbs and fit in a 2" hitch use a pintle hook, like # BWTS10055. There are adjustable ball mounts from other manufacturers that fit in a 2" hitch and can give you the capacity you need. The Andersen EZ Heavy Duty Adjustable Hitch # AM3298 is one of those options as it has a 14,000 lb capacity with the 2-5/16" ball and offers a maximum rise of or drop of 8". I've added links to video reviews of these ball...

  • What Locking Pin Can Be Used on the Andersen EZ Hitch and EZ HD Ball Mounts

  • Is Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set Keyed Alike
    The 2 pins that come with the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3493 are keyed alike but if you're wanting to get 2 sets of these there unfortunately isn't a way to get them keyed alike so you'll have 1 key per EZ Hitch or EZ HD ball mount.

  • Will Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock Set AM3493 Fit Hitch of 2017 Ram 2500
    Yes, the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3493 that you referenced would work just fine in the hitch of a 2017 Ram 2500. It includes a standard diameter 5/8 inch hitch pin with a very wide span of 3-5/16 inch. So if you have a 2 inch or 2-1/2 inch hitch this would work well with it.

  • Replacement Keys For A Anderson Rapid Hitch Lock
    When replacing keys on your Anderson Rapid Hitch Lock # 03003 we do not currently have the keys available for your exact core. The best option that we would have is for you to buy a whole new lock and cutting off the existing lock. The Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set - EZ Hitch and EZ HD Ball Mounts - Stainless # AM3493 would be a replacement. I attached a review video link below.

  • Recommended Hitch Lock for 3 Inch Factory Trailer Hitch on Ford Truck
    For the factory 3 inch trailer hitch on your 2018 Ford truck I recommend taking a look at the Draw-Tite Trailer HItch Lock # BD580412. This is the longest hitch lock we have available and it is designed to fit 3 inch hitches like what you have. It features a usable length of 3-1/2 inches.

We do not have an exact substitute for that ball mount, but a good alternative with some options is the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs # 989900.

  • Can the Andersen Trailer Hitch and Adjustment Pin Lock Set Be Used on a Weight Distribution System
    According to Andersen, they do not recommend using any pins to attach the ball housing to the weight distribution system's shank which includes the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set part # AM3493. They recommend that you use the nuts and bolts included with the kit. You could use the longer pin on the hitch pin hole but not the shorter pin on the adjustment hole.
