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.The Swagman XC 2 Bike rack arrived in a timely manner and was very easy to put together. I was surprised to see how well it was made and how easy it is to load the bikes and adjust them. I took the bikes for a spin to see how well the bikes rode on the rack and was happy with how solid it was. The clamps seemed to hold the bikes solid but I'm going to use a strap to make sure nothing comes loose. Overall, I am very satisfied with this rack. I have a 1000 mile trip to FL this week so that should really tell me if it works as well as I think. I'm looking forward to try the rack out on a LONG trip.
Brad F - 12/27/2020This 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.

mark d - 04/02/2021The lock is good and it locks the bikes but I never thought about how hard it is to reach the hitch pin to put the lock on and secure it. Kinda a pain in all reality. But it all works when I do use it.
We are very thrilled with the bike rack. The ease or ordering online and the helpful staff added to the excellent review. Product was everything that it was advertised to be AND MORE. Hitch mounted easily; sturdy; accepts a wide variety of bikes...recumbent, Rans Cruz (crank forward) and standard diamond frame. Amazingly functional product. Thank you!
Michael B - 02/02/2015Excellent customer service.The YouTube video was a little unclear on with Hitch Lock Pin to select. If you have a 2" hitch on the vehicle and use the adapter which comes attached on the Swagman XTC2 Tilt you will need the 1 1/4 " Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock part number S64031 not the 2" part #S64030.
The Swagman Hitch lock is a great product. Both my bikes and the hitch itself are safe from theft and that gives my great peace. Also etrailer is a great place to purchase all of my towing and hauling needs.
david r - 03/20/2021Needed a Mid-price range, 2 bike, Platform Bike Rack. This one is fantastic for the money. Primarily chose this one because the Vertical Support bar that the Hooks which lock onto the Bikes is Metal and so are the Hooks themselves. Some have plastic Supports and more problematic Plastic Ratchets. This one has metal through and through including vertical support ratchets that the Top Tube hooks lock into and likely is a bit more secure & Durable vs plastic ratchets. It fits both 2.5 and 2.8 bike tires. I like the tilt option for when opening the rear SUV hatch. It wobbles a little when driving from the connection to the Car receiver. But it's no big deal and the bikes hold tight and secure. Would Definitely recommend
Easy to use. Enables you to lock bicycle to Swagman rack. And lock rack to hitch.
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.
The trailer hitch has worked wonderful. It is easy to install and low enough to load an electric bike which is a bit heavier than a regular bike.
This seems to be good and long enough. It works with a Draw Tite 1 1/4" hitch for my '02 Ford Taurus wagon and Swagman XTC2 rack. The lock does not seem to allow the bolt to go deep enough giving a weak feeling mechanism. Good price though. The threads work well to doubly hold the rack to the hitch. The cable is long enough for what I need.
Great bike rack for my needs. Easy to use. Nicely secures my bike with no damage to my car.
Had exactly what I needed. Anti rattle Hitch Lock and cable for swagman bike rack. Web site easy to navigate , product sent quickly and efficiently.
Thomas l - 08/31/2020Bought to go with my Swagman bike rack. Good quality and easy to install. I’m a little lost on what do do with just a loop at the end of the cable, I think I’ll use a separate padlock
I bought my Swagman 2 bike carrier at Dutch Cycle in Regina, Canada, but they didn't mention this locking part. I noticed this was available in the literature so immediately ordered it from you. It came in 10 days in regular mail.
Etrailer Customer Support was very helpful answering questions about this item compared to others I was looking at. Placing order online was quick and easy. Probably my 6th or 7th purchase from etrailer and happy with every order and delivery. I called a manufacturer to ask questions about TOAD braking system and even the manufacturer recommended going to etrailer for installation videos and pictures of installation. Not often a manufacturer recommends a distributor for installation tips and guidance.
The hitch lock and cable is a must have for Swagman Bike Racks. The cable is long enough to easily secure two bikes and can also secure the rack itself to your vehicle when not carrying bikes so there is no need to remove the rack between uses. The lock can initially be difficult to remove with one hand but with practice, removing the lock is a snap.
Just as advertised perfect fit for the Swagman bike rack. Also video demonstrating the lock was great.
I got these to work with my Swagman XTC-2 rack. I like the security of the locks and the cable when I have the bike loaded and need to park it unaccompanied. Great products for the purpose.
This is very easy to use, just takes minutes to install and away you go! Safe and secure
Vesta W - 06/26/2021I 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.
Greg S was really nice helping me find this part for Swagman Bike carrier. Had it off to me in no time. Hard to find good customer service these days. Thank you Greg, now enjoying my lock with Swagman bike carrier. etrailer.com great place to buy stuff.
Easy locking mechanism. Love that the key wont detach from the lock unless it's connected to the hitch.
We've used this rack for a year now on our Honda Fit. It's been great for our two road bikes, and we've taken it on multiple cross-country road trips. No problems with installing, or safety, or quality of the rack. We also bought the matching Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable. I read several reviews of this type of rack before buying and one of the complaints was that the clamp could rub the paint off of your bike's top tube, and the bike can rub the rubber off the clamping surface pf the rack. The way I've found around that is to get a cheap pool noodle, cut in half and split one side along its length. Then place the pool noodle around the top tube of your bike before clamping it down. This protects the finish perfectly on both the bike and the rack, it's light and it's cheap.
