Customer Rating:
Summary: Does what it is supposed to do.
Comment: Not a lot to say - it simply does what was intended. It secures the Allen 4 bike carrier I also purchased from Amazon and eliminates any movement from the carrier. The easy-to-use lock makes sure it all stays on my Yukon. I've been driving around for 2 weeks with it on - no worries.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very secure
Comment: The design makes this very secure. It even has a rain cover for the lock. It keeps my bike rack from swaying, rattling, or moving at all during transport. My only gotcha is that it requires a socket wrench and a combo wrench to tighten the lock nut. I wish there was a way to install it without other tools.

Summary: Be careful - pin replaced under warranty.
Comment: Be careful - pin replaced under warranty. The Allen hitch has been fine. This locking hitch pin installed OK although it was stiff to put on. Taking it off resulted in the stop nut (with interior plastic collar) SEIZING and the hitch pin head broke loose and unscrewed - it is supposed to be permanently fixed to the pin! The nut is jammed but good so now I have to cut the pin off near the nut. Should take about an hour with a hacksaw and it won't be fun. When it's off, I'll use the original unlockable pin with a regular nut, not a stop nut. Now that I think about it, if you just use a regular 3/4" nut on the locking pin, maybe with a lock washer for long trips, then you will probably be happier than I am right now.
Later, the manufacturer replaced the pin under warranty and I think it will work fine as long as I use a plain replacement nut instead of the included stop nut. I would revise the rating to three stars but my initial rating seems permanent.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Must Have hitch pin for Allen Bike racks.
Comment: This is a must have for any Allen Bike rack. My opinion it should come with the rack as the nut/bolt hitch pin that comes with it is not good if you need to be able to quickly remove and install the rack without tools. This locking hitch pin comes with a spare nut "just in case' and also has 3 keys.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lock may not make bike rack as secure as you may think
Comment: WORTH THE PRICE? Maybe not. The lock replaces one bolt. There are 3 other bolts that assemble the Allen bike rack I purchased. The lock bolt attaches the rack to the hitch. Another bolt can be removed to steal the rack. However, doing this would require the thief to somehow purchase the missing peice to attach it to another hitch. The missing piece may be cheaper than a full rack. Also, the nut for the lock bolt did not easily fit on the lock bolt. It wasn't machined properly. I used the bolt from the screw pin that came with the bike rack and it worked. Not sure if another manufacturers bolt would work.
