This 1/2" hitch pin locks your bike rack to your hitch; the integrated steel cable locks your bike to the rack. The hitch lock fits Swagman racks with 1-1/4" only shanks and 1-1/4" and 2" combination shanks.I have used etrailer twice in the last five years, both times with excellent results. I bought a trailer hitch previously and a bike rack recently. The products are great with quick delivery and outstanding customer service. Barry L helped me make sure I ordered the products I needed and followed the delivery process to my door. Thanks etrailer 699254
While it seems this will be a very good product for some folks, it's not working for me. I have a Grand Cherokee with a factory tow package, and the lock cylinder sticks out too far to fit the Jeep bodywork around the hitch. I do like the cable, and the idea is great, but it really needs an offset lock cylinder. So, I'll keep this and look for the Master lock (hubby has a pin with an offset lock that works perfectly) to make this work. I would just ask etrailer.com to mark this item as not compatible with Grand Cherokees. 560695

Bought this to lock up two bikes onto a Swagman XTC2 rack on a Ford Fusion. The cable is the perfect length to handle going through 2 bike frames and locking to the hitch pin. I've used it only occasionally in the past year, but have been satisfied with it. The only downside to using it with a sedan is that it's a bit of a crawl to get down to the hitch to lock it up once the bikes are in place. It would probably be a bit easier with a higher vehicle like an SUV. But I don't mind it. I keep a ratchet wrench in the trunk for snugging up the keeper pin and it's very nice for keeping the hitch rack from rattling in the receiver. 284835
This is a poorly designed and thought out product. If it works in your application, typically with an aftermarket hitch and a Swagman rack, one still has to deal with an end lock which makes access difficult. Also note that according to etrailer, Swagman uses a proprietary bolt and thread, so this product can only be used on Swagman products (etrailer: "As to the lock, Swagman has a specific thread pitch for their locks."). This would not fit in my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee with factory hitch. The lock cannot be installed on the right because the bolt/lock/key is too long, or hits the plugs on the left. Luckily etrailer is allowing me to return this product. But I am left without a lock to secure my bike rack and bikes to my vehicle since other company's locks will not fit a Swagman bike rack. 212690
I purchased this product to upgrade the trailer hitch (locking) mechanism for a recently purchased Swagman hanging 4 bike carrier I recently purchased from etrailer. This product is well made and is exactly as advertized, but the one aspect I didnt notice was that the locking mechanism that is secured to the trailer bolt is on the inside of the bolt, which is racheted to the hitch for saftey and a secure (non wobble) tight fit. However, to undo the lock, I found I had to remove the bolt all the way to unlock the system. For long hauls and saftey, this is a great product, but for short trips, I can see where it can be a bit much work to lock and unlock everytime. I modified the use of this product to use the locking bolt to the trailer hitch, however I moved the cable to the upper arm of the bike rack. When the rack is extended upwards, the locking position ( twin holes) for the storage position aren't used. I used an extra locking hitch lock I had and ran it through the storage position holes. This allowed easier access to the lock (it is at the same level as the bikes) and I didnt have to unbolt the hitch lock to gain access to the bikes. This is a solid well made product. 41147
I only carry 2 bikes at a time and this cable wraps around both bikes more than once. I like to feel secure when driving and this cable provides that. 938161
I purchased this lock and cable to complement my Swagman XTC-2 platform bike rack and my after-market receiver installed by U-Haul. The lock is fairly simple to use and will certainly add anti-theft security for my bikes and rack. Quality-wise I would give it the highest rating. It is very easy to use. However, installation or removal of the lock will require getting down on my hands and knees to access it with or without the bikes being on the rack. 936513
Recieved item and installed. Seemed very secure. cable was well constructed with end loop and eye. Thick quality product. Highly recommend. Customer service greatest.. 934750
This lock and cable works great with my Swagman XTC-2 Tilt bike rack. My hitch has a 1/2 inch hole (for the pin) and this part (S64031) is the right size for it. The team at etrailer was very helpful (phone and email) and took excellent care of me. They were knowledgeable and quick to respond. Thanks to Lori, Adam and others for providing great service! I'm happy and will buy from etrailer again in the future. 925017
Hitch Lock works great keeping our bicycles secure. 920160
Still doing it’s job 898854
works great!! 893609
Works great. Adds tension to a light duty traveling setup, but would not trust bikes overnight with just a cable. 887399
Easy to install and use! Exactly as des cribed! 871516
Great product for security of my bikes and rack. It provides peace of mind when I leave my rack on the car and go biking. I know my rack will be there when I return. Or when I put my bikes back on the rack and go for lunch, I know they, too, will still be there when I return. The lock and cable are very well made. Well worth the cost!! 870511

I am hugely impressed with the quality of your company's process. With so many options and vendors available, your attention to detail, follow thru and right-on advice have proven themselves to be spot-on in every particular. I will sing your praises at every opportunity. :-) 865096
Exactly the product I was looking for to kill two birds with one stone: keep bikes locked to the rack and keep the rack locked to the vehicle. Thanks for always having great service etrialer! 863520
Great customer service and delivered on time. 862808
We had ordered the wrong lock to go with a rack and etrailer called asking if it was OK to change the order to this lock. It was also cheaper. Fantastic service. Thank you so much! 862261
Works great to reduce movement/rattling with the rack in the hitch. I love the long cable. I will have no problem locking in two bikes on the rack safely! Only reason I rated a 4 star is because shipping took longer than anticipated, product showed up ~3 weeks after ordering even though it said in stock online. 856172
I have not had any issues with this product. Great quality. I recommend this to everyone. 853083
This does what it is supposed to do. 851747
