Used this to lock my Hitch Adapter to the 1.25" hitch of my 08 Honda Fit. Works great. Still had to get a hitch clamp due to too much play between the adapter and my hitch, but the lock does what it's supposed to do. Very easy to use and comes with (2) keys. Would highly recommend buying if you want to secure any accessory to your 1.25" hitch.

Got this to insure that my receiver light doesn't disappear.

Great product that has kept my trailers safe and my hitch brake light safe.

Doesn't fit through the receiver and the extension to lock it onto my car so it pretty much worthless. Cannot seem to make contact with anyone at e-trailer to return it
by: Layne02/08/2022
This is an easy lock to use, and stows really well whenever it's not in use, and is well constructed! I look forward to many more years of good use. I especially like that I was able to get it keyed to match a similar lock for my 2" hitch!
by: Ben H.04/10/2012
This product has some very subtle features that add substantially to it's functionality. There is no "UP" or "DOWN" for the key - it fits both ways! You can turn the lock end or the pin end to undo it - good if one side is difficult to reach! And I was able to buy three of them from etrailer.com that were all keyed alike! I have two Model Ts and a Model A all with trailer hitches for pulling a vintage camper and now I don't have to worry about having the right key when I go on a trip.
by: Roger 06/08/2021
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock came as promised and worked well on my 1-1/4" hitch receiver. The instructions for locking and unlocking were clear, and I now feel that my bike rack is safe and sound locked on the receiver. Great product!
by: Mark03/27/2022
Like the fact that you can get several that are keyed the same. We have a drop extension, and need two locks. So far, no rust in the Pacific NW.
by: Vincent04/11/2022
This is a nice beefy lock! Using this to replace my old one - I never really had confidence in the old one - I like the way this one screws together, feels a lot more substantial, with a positive locked in feel. Well done!
by: Mark01/26/2018
Purchased two of these for a custom dual 1.5" auxiliary receivers. Wasn't sure if it was going to fit because they have a 2" OD receiver, but these fit nice and snug. No slop or play which is exactly what I was looking for and they were keyed alike.
by: Alberta06/09/2022
I count on it both for the hitch and for my ebike. Thanks for a strong lock.
by: Jerry 01/19/2022
Great product, fits perfectly. Quick shipping is also a plus!!!
by: David 10/17/2021
Clean and quick installation, as advertised (and expected from etrailer)!
by: Barry 06/19/2021
This lock has different way of unlocking and locking by turning the key in the lock until it opens or is locked. Not a bad thing as the lock appears to have excellent security against attempts to break it by thieves. The finish on the lock appears to have good protection against the elements. All hitch locks should be designed this well. The one that matches it is the Bulldog hitch lock for a 2 inch receiver.
by: Ken02/04/2022
Very fast and efficient service. Locks seem solid and good quality, super excited to have them all keyed alike. Happy with purchase so far.
by: David04/04/2020
Special thanks to Goerge J. for expedititing my latest order. I am completely satisfied with all of the items that I ordered from etrailer and would recommend the entire package to anyone who wants to make their Chevy Trax a "little hauler". My next move is to go out and buy the trailer so that I can put all of those great products to work. Thanks again etrailer.

Bought my trailer from [store]. Pulled the 5x8 trailer from Colorado to Michigan and back and it went without a hitch you might say. At 400 lbs I hardly knew it was being pulled behind me and I would have to say that the whole package of items I purchased from etrailer performed flawlessly. Thanks again etrailer.
David - 04/05/2021by: Rhythmking09/30/2019
While this seems to be a sturdy, well-made product, it is not the optimum set-up for a Subaru Outback equipped with a factory-installed 1.25" hitch.
Quite simply, the pin hole drilled in the 1.25" section is not where it should be. In order for it to line up with the hole in the Subaru hitch, the hole would need to be another 1.5" or so closer to the "rear". Not that this doesn't work, for it does--- but with the unit sticking out yet another 1.5" or so from the hitch. To remedy this, I drilled another half inch hole into the unit where it should be located. Now it works great, but it took considerable effort (and a $20 titanium drill bit) to get it right.
Again, this unit will work in a Subaru Outback without drilling another hole in it; it's just not optimal.
by: Danny 08/06/2021
Have not seen any rust after a year. I appreciate the simple locking mechanism, easy to unlock and lock. The added cap to the key hole helps prevents residue from building up.
by: Bill 01/04/2022
Works as expected
by: Barry12/26/2020
I called to get information so I could order the correct item. I did this before when I purchased my trailer hitch. They are very helpful and the item arrived as promised.
by: Ronald 01/20/2021
Exactly what I was looking for! It fits my Honda Civic factory hitch perfectly. I like the construction and the way it functions as a security lock for my boat trailer.
by: Bernard 06/07/2021
I had quick and effective response and very helpful response from Teresa at etrailer
by: David 07/13/2021
Works very well as a security lock.
by: Mark08/12/2013
etrailer.com has an incredible selection, web site, and knowledgable customer service to match. I needed keyed alike hitch receiver locks for a 2" and 1"1/4 receivers, because I move by bike rack between 2 vehicles.They answered my email request the same day and were able to provide the EXACT solution I needed. I would not have been able to get this solution from any of the big box stores. The product shipped quickly, worked like a charm, and was exactly what I needed. This is the second successful order I have made from etrailer.com and will definitely use them again.
by: James Pomeroy01/26/2012
Great service ... the young ladies whom I dealt with at Etrailer were courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. After placing my initial order, I shortly recognized the advisability of adding a bolt-lock to the order (it WAS suggested to me by the young lady who first took my order but I declined it) --- I appreciated the effort Tamara in Customer Service put into modifying my order and still getting everything shipped the same day. The items arrived at my house in western New York State sooner than I expected. I was able to install the hitch to the underside of my 2007 Honda Fit with reasonable effort -- I am very satisfied with the hitch too. I haven't actually used the platform bike carrier yet but will do so in a few days and I think I will be pleased with it. I'm also glad I got the bolt-lock.

Ask the Experts about this etrailer Trailer Hitch Lock
- Is a Hitch Lock Strong Enough to Support Weight of Wheelchair CarrierTrailer hitch locks, such as our etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4 Inch Hitches # e98879, do not typically have a listed weight capacity. This is simply because a hitch lock or pin is not going to actually bear any of the weight from an accessory like your wheelchair carrier or a trailer. You do not need to worry about a hitch lock or standard pin failing from being overloaded. The only capacities you will need to consider is that of the vehicle itself and the trailer...
view full answer... - Recommended Locking Hitch Pin for Bike Rack Without Threaded Anti-Rattle on 2016 VolvoTo secure your Bike Rack to your trailer hitch without a threaded pin, I recommend using our etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4 inch Receivers # e98879.

The hitch lock part # e98879 would also fit this as well. You should note that this cuts the towing capacity of the hitch on your vehicle by 50 percent.

This will give you one 2 inch hitch lock, along with a 4-1/8 inch coupler lock for trigger style couplers. Then, for the 1-1/4 inch hitch locks, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98879. This chrome 1-1/4 inch receiver lock will come with a quantity of 1, so you will just need to order two. Since these locks are all from the...
view full answer... - Replacement for Deadbolt Lock with 2 Inch Inside SpanIt sounds like you are looking for the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98886 which is for a trailer coupler or the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # e98879 which is for a trailer hitch, both of which have a 2" inside span. They both have the ability to be keyed alike but you cannot request a specific key code unfortunately because that is not an option.
view full answer... - Recommended Locking Hitch Pin with at Least 2 Inch SpanIf you measured the outside walls of your hitch at the hitch pin hole and got 2" then you will need a hitch pin lock with a span of at least 2"; you'll also want to know the receiver size since hitch pin holes are specific to the receiver size. For a 1-1/4" receiver, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4" Hitches - Flush - 2-1/8" Span - Chrome # e98879 you were looking at will work just fine since it has a 2-1/8" span and a 1/2" diameter pin to fit in the hitch pin hole.

So what you'd need instead would be the part # e98879 which has this pin diameter like you need.
view full answer... - Will etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Fit a 2013 Land Rover EvoqueSince the factory hitch for the Evoque is a 1-1/4 inch Class I or II the trailer hitch receiver lock # e98879 will fit. Hitches that are 1-1/4 inches have a 1/2 inch diameter pin hole which is what this pin fits. The inside span is 1-5/8 inches long and the overall length is 5 inches. With these measurements you can check the space available around the outside of the receiver to ensure fit.

This lock will feed through the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch just like your pin and clip and the locking end will ensure your cargo carrier cannot be removed while you are away.

When the lock is unlocked, the key can still be removed from the lock. We are not able to obtain multiples of these locks keyed alike. We do offer the # e98879 lock that does have a keyed alike option.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch For 1-1/4 Bike Rack On 2020 Acura RDXChristina, thank you for all of the very helpful information. I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch part # 36114 for the 2020 Acura RDX which will give you the 1-1/4" receiver opening to carry the bike rack. The installation does not require drilling into the Acura's frame or fascia trimming so the installation is pretty straight forward. The spare tire and exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered to make room to install the hitch but that's pretty simple. The spare tire should have a lowering...
view full answer... - Will the etrailer Hitch Lock Work On a Kuat Transfer Bike RackThe Kuat Transfer Bike Racks use a threaded anti-rattle bolt so you cannot just use any standard hitch pin. If you are looking for locking capability then we do have an option with the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks part # HLT which is the only available option.
view full answer... - Is Trailer Hitch Lock, Part # 7683 a Fit for a 2010 Altima?The Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, part # e98880 is designed for hitches with a 2 inch receiver. Because your Altima uses a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, I would recommend the Stainless Steel Receiver Lock, part # e98879. This lock will be the proper fit for your receiver, and its stainless steel construction will provide you many years of trouble free service.

The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on the Adapter # HTAD, to the 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch transition point is 3-3/8 inches. On your bike rack, it the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to end of the shank is 3-1/8 inches, you will have 1/2 inch to spare and the bike rack will fit. I have included a link to a video review of this adapter below. I must also mention that the use of this adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Hitch Lock with 1/2 Inch Diameter and 2-5/8 Inch SpanWe do have a large selection of hitch locks available for your trailer hitch receiver. The available hitch locks that can be keyed alike and have a usable span of at least 2-5/8 inches are going to also have a pin diameter of 5/8 inches, such as # e98880. We do have hitch locks with a 1/2 inch diameter, such as # e98879, however these will also have a smaller usable span, as they are typically intended for 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers. The usable span on this unit is 2-1/8 inches. Both...
view full answer... - etrailer Hitch Lock Recommendation for Fitting 1-1/4 inch Draw-Tite HitchThe etrailer hitch lock that is designed for use on 1-1/4 inch hitches like the # 24847 that you referenced is actually the part # e98879. The part # e98882 would be longer than needed and would be thicker than what would fit a 1-1/4 inch hitch.
view full answer... - Can Three Keys Be Obtained for a Trailer Hitch Pin LockThat would be dependent on the lock and hitch size, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # e98879 for 1-1/4" or part # e98880 for 2" which is what I recommend comes with two keys like most hitch pin locks. If you need extra keys we do offer a way to obtain them using the Replacement Keys for etrailer Hitch and Coupler Locks. That said, you'd need to order the lock first as you will need to know the key number to order more keys. You can also just ask again when you know the part...
view full answer... - Recommendation Between Rola 20x47 or Tow Ready 20x48 Cargo Carrier For a 2011 SorentoI would highly recommend the 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitches, # 63155. This carrier not only gives you a 3 inch rise from the top of the hitch opening, but also 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier. You can also put in an optional light kit, # 20174, if your cargo obstructs the taillights on your 2011 Kia Sorento. I have included a video of this kit below. I also recommend a locking hitch pin, like Trailer Hitch Receiver...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Lighted Trailer Hitch Cover on a 2014 Subaru Forester with Factory HitchGiven the general rounded lines of the 2014 Subaru Forester, I thing the oval LED Brake Light Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover # CR-017 would look much better than a square one. Either one will fit the 1-1/4 inch Class I trailer hitch on your vehicle. I also recommend a hitch lock, # e98879, to secure the cover in the hitch and to deter theft.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Pin for Trailer Hitch on 2013 Fiat 500Since there is not much space around the hitch pin hole for a standard elbow style pin like # C21500, I recommend looking at a straight, locking hitch pin like our etrailer.com # e98879. This is a straight hitch pin that will also be an upgrade over your existing unit because of its locking capability. Its chrome plating will resist rust and the covered key slot will prevent internal corrosion. This is compatible with the 1-1/4 inch receiver on your 2013 Fiat and should work great to resolve...
view full answer... - Keyed Alike Trailer Hitch Pins For Class II Trailer HitchesYes, the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4" Hitches part # e98879 can be ordered so that both keys are the same.
