Use this on the Curt receiver hitch I have installed on my 2006 Subaru WRX Wagon. My WRX was once a garage queen (until my wife got a new car this year), but now it gets parked on the street in front of my house. I prefer to leave the Yakima rack installed on the car, so this gives me peace of mind (along with a camera and exterior lighting) that the rack *stays* on the car. Been a couple of years now and I've had no issues. Happy customer.



by:

used to lock 5th wheel plate to 5th wheel hitch body. Worked just as I wanted. Good product, keyed alike, fair price. Thank you.

one year later and Still completely satisfied. Thank You1



by:

Having keyed alike locks is brilliant



by:

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:

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:

This receiver locks works like it shoul d.



by:

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.



by:

Same pin as for a 2” hitch



by:

Nice product, just had an issue when installing. item did not slide into the
receiver/hitch open hole smoothly had to tap it with a hammer also when removing it. This had to do with the hole alignment not the product.



by:

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:

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.



by:

Perfect! Fast delivery too!



by:

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.



by:

Works fine



by:

Excellent hitch lock. It’s feels like good quality and the lock, locks tight which I like. Bought 2 and had them both keyed the same, very happy with my purchase.



by:

Solid lock. EXCELLENT customer service.

Great! Lock still works great—haven’t had to use any lubricant at all. Still pleased with etrailer’s excellent customer service!!



by:

What do you do when you need three trailers coupler locks and two trailer hitch receiver locks all keyed the same.......order them from Etrailer.

Thanks for all your help Katie, awsome customer service!!!



by:

I’m very happy with my purchase!



by:

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:

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:

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:

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.



by:

I just received the Hitch Receiver lock. I like the fact that you can lock it as opposed to the pin lock. I have not used it yet but so far ordering, delivery and product has been great. Thanks.



by:

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:

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.

  • Availability of a Tennessee Volunteers Collegiate 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Cover
    We do have one Tennessee hitch cover that will fit a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch. It is the Tennessee Power T Logo Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover, # CTH25S. I recommend adding a locking hitch pin to deter theft of the cover. For a 1-1/4 inch hitch and lock, use # e98879.

  • Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin to Use with a Bike Rack That Has a 1-1/4 Inch Hollow Shank
    The Saris Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin # SA3015 isn't tested with other bike racks so I can't guarantee it will fit but I don't know that it wouldn't. For another option the Hitch Lock # e98879 is also designed for hollow 1-1/4 inch shanks and will work for you. You could add the Quiet Hitch # RM-061-125. This will be used to wedge between the hitch receiver and bike rack to take up play and eliminate movement. I have also included a video on this product for you to look at.

    We can help you with a 2-bike hitch rack that will be fine to use on the back of your flat-towed 2016 Ford Focus. This vehicle can be fitted only with a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch. No other hitch sizes or classes are offered for the Focus since its frame is not strong enough to handle bigger hitches. So this means we need to find you a Class I-compatible rack that is also rated for use on an RV, which in terms of the physics involved, is the functional equivalent of being installed...

    There are keyed-alike locks available for a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver but the Buyers Products 1/2" Locking Hitch Pin # 337BLHP125 cannot be keyed-alike. Instead, I recommend checking out the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 1-1/4" Hitches # e98879. Just select the "Keyed Alike" option in the drop-down box on the product page and select the quantity you want to get them keyed alike. I have added a link to a video review of this lock for you to check out as well.

Curt actually recommends going with the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521 which gives you a 2-5/8" Rise or a 3-1/4" Drop and secures to your hitch receiver with a simple Pin and Clip # F-4 or an upgraded Locking Pin # e98879.

Please note that this adapter will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%. You also need to check your bike rack to ensure that it is compatible with an adapter as some bike racks that don't have...

If you are just looking for a lock, I recommend # e98879. If you need an anti-rattle device for use with a regular hitch pin you can use # RM-061-125.
