Silver and Red Receiver Lock, Stainless Steel Barbell™ Hitch Pin Lock, Fits 5/8 in. Receivers, Weather Resistant Automotive Receiver Lock, 1469DAT

I recently upgraded my receiver hitch and wanted to protect my investment by purchasing a quality lock. After researching different locks and reading all the reviews, I settled on the Master Lock 1469DAT. It fit my F-150 receiver with room to spare. Some reviews have noted issues with the O-ring and lock not opening or closing easily. When I received this lock, I brushed a thin coat of bearing grease on the inside of the lock including the locking cam and O-ring which greatly increased the locking ease of the lock. During this time, I found that the key needs to be in the lock for the locking cam to release and engage the end of the shaft. This was confirmed in the instructions which also said that the lock will engage the shaft with a positive "click" which then allows the key to be pulled out of the locking end. Overall, I like the anti-theft design of the lock which doesn't make it easy for a hammer, pipe or prybar to be used to bend or break either end of the lock off while on your receiver. No lock is perfect but I didn't read anywhere on the internet where this lock had been easily compromised. As with all locks, with enough time and opportunity, any lock can be compromised. Hopefully, this lock won't make it easy. 7/2011 Update: I bought a second lock to use on my Bulldog hitch. Other than a few 1/4" shaft locks that are easily broken off with a hammer, I thought I would use this lock. I drill out the 1/4" hole to 5/8" and slipped this lock in the new hole. It prevents the coller from sliding past the hole and unlocking the receiver ball. I bought this longer shafted lock to prevent a prybar from gaining purchase between the lock and the hitch. Drilling out the hole was no easy task but now that I have the this second lock in place, I feel a heck of a lot more confident that my trailer won't be an easy target.

Product works great. Easy to use.

I've used a lot of different receiver locks and this is by far the best I've used. I would not buy anything else. The lock is quality and perfect for those with a 2 1/2" receiver. I have purchased multiple of these locks and will buy again.

works well but the lock rotates over and gets in the way when you are putting on chains. Not a big deal you just have to turn it away. I don't think the rubber protector will last long. Initally it wouldnt open and close well. I had to lubricate a NEW lock....strange but works fine now.

I recently purchased the Master Lock 1469DAT 3" Stainless Steel Heavy-Duty Receiver Lock to use on my 2006 Ford F-150. I was looking for a solid receiver pin, and wanted something with a lock to ensure that someone could not easily make off with my trailer or other accessories. Aside from the trailer, ball mounts and hitch covers are far too expensive to be replacing every time some jerk decides to run off with yours. Yet removing them every time you go to the store is also a pain. I ordered the 1469DAT via Amazon, and it arrived very quickly. The construction is solid, and the price from Amazon is better than what I found in local stores. I had no issues installing it or locking it. The pin length was fine for my F-150, and in fact it left a little room to spare. The stainless steel construction is sure to hold up and not rust, which is great. There is an O-ring which fits into the locking mechanism that seems a little loose. There is a shorter version of this receiver lock sold on Amazon that has photos of this issue. See: Master Lock 1480DAT Stainless Steel Receiver Lock for 5/8' Receiver Hole . O-rings are easily replaced, though, if it ever becomes an issue. As noted by another reviewer, I was a bit surprised to find that the end cap (the end opposite the lock) was PINK, not red as shown in the photo. For the most part it doesn't stand out too badly (my truck is copper colored). Still, I would think for a truck part Master Lock would show a little more attention to detail. But overall that does not detract from my appreciation of the construction of this lock and the convenience it provides.

I don't know what kind of person steals a hitch or rack or anything else attached, but we all know those people are out there. This lock gave me piece of mind to protect my purchase. I had a normal straight lock, but the connection on my car (Tesla Model Y) doesn't provide enough clearance for that type of lock. This solved that problem perfectly. I would think having the keyhole at a right angle is more convenient for most situations. Just returned from a 1,400 mile road trip and this thing held up great and looks the same as when it was new, minus a bit of dust. Time will tell on longevity, but I have no concerns. Buy with confidence!

Todo bien

Used this lock to secure my D035 hitch.

Excellent produit. En plus de sa construction robuste ce verrou de remorque a un avantage que les autres n’ont pas, il est plus long, soit un peu plus de 3.5 pouces. C’est d’ailleurs la raison de mon achat car les autres marques ne faisaient pas sur mon attache remorque.

Muy buen producto es de calidad y hasta ahorita me ha funcionado muy bien

Candado bueno no se ve de excelente calidad pero cumple su función
