Top positive review

Good enough for most situations but not really "high-security"

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 31, 2016

I used this with the SportRack Crest 2 Bike Platform Hitch Rack on a 1 1/4-in receiver and it works great.

Pros:
1) Anti-rattle bolt works well to reduce rattling of the bike rack.
2) Easy to use. I can install my bike rack with this hitch pin in under 5 minutes. Lock just pushes onto the bolt without needing to insert or twist the key.
3) Detent on bolt also works with some clips if there are times you don't want to use the actual lock and want to use a clip instead.

Con:
1) Bolt extends beyond hitch a bit depending on the size of your receiver. A determined thief with a bolt cutter can cut it with some effort.
2) Lock cylinder itself is easy to defeat. I am a novice lock picking enthusiast and can pick the lock in under 10 seconds. The push-on design also makes it technically shimmable.
3) The biggest con is that the keys are the same for all the locks of the same model. I bought 2 locks, one for me and one for a gift and the keys are interchangable.

Although the list on cons might sound bad, you gotta realize that all locks have security flaws. If a thief is determined enough to steal your bike rack, he or she will find a way. Your average unequipped hoodlum most likely won't be carrying a wrench, bolt cutter, lock picks, same key. Overall, I think this is secure enough if you need to keep your rack and bikes unattended for short periods but I would recommend adding a strong cable lock to lock your bikes, rack and hitch all together if you plan on leaving them unattended for longer periods in a sketchy area.

Depuis l’achat le bout ( qui barre) était difficile a verrouiller. Aujourd’hui en allant à vélos, rendu à destination, le lock était tombé. Donc perdu sur la route. Est-ce que ceci est garantie?

Does not tighten as would appear

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

I specifically spent the additional money on this item as it appeared it would tighten and allow for less movement from the rack. That isn't the case and it just "clicks" into position. I could have purchased a less expensive one had I known that was the case.

Not what I expected

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

Maybe I should have read the description more closely, but even though this works for me, it is not what I expected. My original Sportrack had a 1/2" bolt and 1/2" threaded lockable pin. This is 3/8" thread. BUT, since I only lost my lock, and not my original pin, I was surprised to see that the pin on this device matched the end of my old lock, so I can use this lock on my old pin.
The lock seems functional, though it needed lube and loosening up. The whole thing is a little chintzy, but acceptable to keep the casual thief from stealing my rack.

Wrong Thread for 12mm X 1.75 thule bike racks

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2015

Wrong thread. My thule bike rack uses 12MM x 1.75 bolt and Grade 8.8. This bolt is the same 8.8 grade but the wrong thread. Did not go through my bike rack.

It works but not sure how reliable it is

It works, fits on my Hitch but it is kind of cheap. I am not sure how reliable it is. It feels kind of weak.
