Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have the Kuat hitch lock for two inch hitches. So whether you need to replace the hitch lock that came with your bike rack or maybe you're upgrading from a hitch pin that did not have a lock at the end, this is going to be the part for you. So first, make sure you get the right part for the right bike rack. So this is designed to be used with a two inch shank versions of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0, Kuat Transfer 2.0 or Kuat NV 2.0. So if you happen to have the inch and a quarter version, even if you use an adapter, you need the inch and a quarter hitch pin instead. This includes the hitch pin and the lock.
And if you do have the inch and a quarter version, that's actually okay because the lock is interchangeable. So this fits into that inch and a quarter hitch pin or the two inch hitch pin and provides that security at the end. So this is designed as either a replacement part, we have the older hitch lock for our Kuat Sherpa that came with the bike rack here or this can be used as an upgrade. So we have the Kuat high/low adaptor that did not include a lock and we want one to make sure our whole system is protected. So here are the changes to the design.
You do have a larger barrel, but it is interchangeable as we saw earlier. I do like the improvement to the dust cap design. So this clicks into place versus the rubber dust cap that the old hitch lock had. We kind of have to push it in, get in place, a little bit more of a hassle. With the keys in, we're in the ready to load position, but you cannot take the keys out.
You have to lock the barrel in order to remove the keys. And because the barrel is now in the locked position, you are unable to put that hitch lock in there. And that's good because then you don't accidentally lock your hitch lock without having your keys on hand. So now with the keys in the barrel and it's in the unlocked position, I just need to get the hitch lock, push either the barrel onto the lock or the pin onto the barrel and now you are secure. I'm not fiddling around making sure it's all lined up.
I can just go and tighten down my bike rack. So the dimensions of this pin is for the diameter, it's gonna be a half inch pin and then for the length of the pin, it's gonna be five and three quarter inches long. Now the span, which is your usable pin length, is measured from the barrel to inside the pin and that measurement is going to be three and a half inches. Included with your hitch pin and your lock, is also a little burlap bag where you can store things in. You have your two keys, this is keyed alike and you have a little bottle opener key chain. This right here was a look at the Kuat hitch lock version four, for your Kuat bike rack with two inch shanks at etrailer.com. My name is Evangeline and I hope you enjoy the journey.

This hitch lock fits the smaller pin hole on Kuat bike racks for 2" hitches. 2 Keys, dust cap, burlap bag, and Kuat keychain bottle opener included. 1/2" Diameter.
The larger bolt won't work with the 2 inch hitch so you have to use the smaller one that comes with the rack. That's a pretty significant design oversight. I use the smaller bolt but I have to strap down the whole lock assembly so it doesn't rattle. So the rack is great but the lock is kind of a pain...
I initally ordered a Hollywood hitch lock and it did not work, it was junk. The CS rep (Adam) at etrailer refunded my money and I ordered a Kuat hitch lock from etrailier. Guess what? The Kuat hitch lock did not work. Just spoke to another etraler CS rep (Hanna) and she is sending me out a replacement. I understand one lock, but both locks did not function; disappointed to say the least. Does anyone at etrailer do any quality control with your vendors? As a distributor, you are what you sell.
The lock is great but not keyed like I requested to match the the cable lock, so 2 different keys wouldn’t be reqquired.
Works Great on my 2023 Tesla Model Y
Got it to match my kuat rack. Works gre ak
WOrks as expected. Not much to say, it’s a hitch lock.
Delivered on time and exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
Simply the best
Super easy process.
High quality heavy duty hitch pin lock. The incorrect one was shipped, and when I called, they immediately sent out the correct one.
I knew nothing about trailer hitches, but they made it very easy for me to get one installed. I needed it, raised up a little bit which they did, and I am very happy with their service and the hitch itself.
The hitch lock is easy to use, however it was also easy to remove by a thief, I had my KĂśAT bike rack stolen.
Works perfectly. On a recent 1400 mile round trip I spent the night in a hotel and didn't worry that my rack would be gone if I left it connected to the hitch overnight. The diameter of this pin is 1/2 inch which is smaller than the 5/8 inch pin that came with the rack. The anti-rattle feature in the rack was able to eliminate the slop that would have been present had there been no anti-rattle feature.
Love this bike rack! It doesn’t take up too much room, but provides the necessary support to hold the bike. Still has held up after a year of light use. My only complaint about the bike rack is that the design allows the front tire to move around while attached. I was able to remedy this by purchasing a strap to secure it a bit better. But overall, I’m very happy with my purchase.
Great easy to use lock. Quick shipping which is nice when you lose your old lock.

Still working and solid product after a year of wear and tear.
The hitch lock is exactly what I wanted for my Kuat bike rack. I love how easy it is to order from etrailer. The products always arrive in good shape and very quickly.
The bolt thickness does not fit with the Kuat Transfer v2 1 bike rack but the lock still works with the thinner bolt included with the rack
The Kuat Bike Rack is great. It's easy to use...taking off and on my SUV....easy to strap in the bike and the rack rides well on the car. Just what I was looking for.
This hitch lock works very well with my Kuat Sherpa bicycle rack. The feature I like best is you don’t need to use a key to install the lock on the pin. You just have to snap the lock on. I also like the keyhole cover on the lock. My lock arrived very quickly, as well.
This could not be any easier. Buy this. It gives me comfort to have my bike rack locked when I am biking - just in case. Or if I wanted to leave my rack on overnight. Also, easier to use than the locking pin that comes with the rack.
The hitch lock for the Kuat bike rack worked as described. Etrailer kept me notified during the ordering, shipping and delivery process. This is a great company and I have used them several times and they have always done a superlative job. Thank you for your great customer service.
Purchased this for my kuat 1-1/4" rack with adapter but it does not fit. Contacted etrailer and got the smaller version which works great. Good customer service.
I am happy with the purchase of the HL2 Hitch Lock from Etrailer as it makes my new bike rack more secure from theft
Great that they provide 2 keys and a cover over the keyhole to prevent dirt from getting in.
On time delivery, expert advise that was worthwhile, answers to questions that made common sense. Enjoy my Kuat rack. Operates just as published. I like the tightening mechanism. Works like a charm. Put the two bicycles on the rack today and was successfully pleased about the engineering efficiencies built into this product.

I would love to say that hitch locks are 100 percent fool proof however I consider them to be theft deterrents. It will help to prevent a crime of opportunity. If a thief is determined enough a lock can be circumvented.
