As I said in my ball lock review, spend a few bucks and do everything you can to deter thiefs. If they want it bad enough they will get it, but why get a regular receiver pin when you can get this for a reasonable cost and have an added security element? This lock is easy to use, has been reliable, and is very low key and low profile. It's so small and stays tucked in close to my steel offroad bumper that it would be harder to get a grinder or drill in to defeat this lock in my application. Not impossible, but definitely worth the cost of this lock.
I'd recommend all 3 to anyone who tows and stores a trailer. This one is perhaps the most essential to day in and day out use if you leave your hitch/ball attached to your truck most or all the time, as it prevents it from being stolen. Without this, it'd be easy for a thief to walk off with $60+ in a few seconds, and it's also something you may not realize until you back up to your trailer and realize...something's not right!
I have used all different Brands of Receiver Locks over the past 45 years as RV'ers. This is well made and should hold up for a long time. The Rubber Dust Cap is pretty nice to have on these also, to keep the dirt and dust and water out of the lock. A good inside clean lock, is a good working lock. We sure couldn't complain about the cost of this one. I have paid a lot more for 2 inch Receiver Locks in the past, and they haven't been as good as this one is. I have alwasy replace the old fashioned Hitch Pins with the Clips with 2 inch Receiver Locks. That way no one can mess with any of your RV Hook-Ups. And you also don't have to ever worry about a pin comming out, and having your old fashioned Hitch Pin fall out. I use one Receiver Lock, to lock our Tow Bar to our Motorhome. And I use two more Reveiver Locks to lock the Tow Bar to the front Basp Plate of our Toad being Towed 4 Down. Nobody can ever mess with this set-up, and noting is ever going to come undone on its own, ever. Happy Travels
The lock came with 2 keys. I put one in the vehicle and the other in an envelope in my vehicle file at home. The (round style ) keys are serial numbered so you could probably order another key if you wanted to.
On a Jeep it is just a bit long for the 2 inch hitch, but someone already posted the tip to add an o-ring.
With the o ring, it is a tad more difficult to get the thing locked, but once in place, rattle and movement free.
The difficulty could be due to the false locked protection where you cannot remove the key unless the pin is locked in place.
Works much better and looks much nicer than the traditional hockey stick pin with just a pin thru it.... for anything expensive in your receiver hitch pin you will want this or a similar lock.
