Master LockKeyed Alike Trailer Hitch Locks 2866KA-2

I bought this set because it is supposed to be keyed alike, ie one key works both locks. The two set of keys have different numbers and they do not work in the other lock. Will probably return.

While I do like the fact that both of these hitch pins are "keyed alike" so that the same key can open both locks, there's a nit-picky shortcoming to the design - the key has to be in the lock in order for the "push to lock" to work!! Since I don't put on and remove the hitch pin all the time, I ALWAYS find myself trying to force the hitch pin in, rotating the sucker like crazy, and just working away at the contraption, grinding off the chrome finish before remembering the key has to be in the lock in order for you to snap that pin in. So irritating. No other Master Lock in the world (I'm talking padlocks here) need you to put the key into the lock cylinder in order to shut the shackle.Please re-engineer this thing to make it more intuitive. Other than that, this would've been a wonderful set.

good

I was excited to think that I could put the pin in the receiver and then push the lock on the pin without the key. "Push to lock" requires the key to be inserted for the mechanism to slide aside and accept the tip of the pin. "Push to lock" just saves you from having to twist the key while locking the mechanism.Otherwise they work fine and I'm happy to have them.

Was getting tired of having different keys for the different locks on each of my vehicles, or having to swap them around depending on if I was towing with an 1 1/4" bar or 2". Found these and asked if I could have 4 sets all keyed alike. They were very accommodating and told me that was not a problem. Ordered and received very quickly. All locks now work with the same key. It does not matter which size tow bar I am using, as the locks all fit. Should have done this long ago. The units appear to be great quality and are holding up well. The also include the cap to cover the lock and keep dirt out.

I have a kayak trailer I tow with two vehicles. Prep is easier with hitch locks keyed the same. I gave this set 4 stars because (1) the lock housing isn't as heavy duty as I expected and (2) the key side hangs down. Yes there is a rubber cap to protect the end but I can see water/rain getting right under the cap and causing corrosion right away. Having said all that, the pins and locks are sturdy and I'm satisfied!

I ordered two sets of 2 locks; and my hope was they could all be keyed the same. I contacted the manufacturer on a Saturday - naturally expected nobody to be around, and left a message on their answering machine requesting same-keying. About an hour later, I got a call from the very nice owner, verifying that I wanted all 4 locked keyed the same.... and they arrived a few days later!! Excellent customer service; and a very nice, versatile pin lock that will fit 2 sizes of locks. Perfect for 5th wheel hitch security; or for towing a car behind an RV; or making sure your bike rack is locked to your hitch.

These work great and are well long enough for my factory Toyota receiver hitch. I also use one in an adjustable ball mount setup. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because it seems that you have to have the key in, not turned, just in, to slide the lock on. This seems a bit odd and I'll try lubricating the setup to see if that helps.
