## Overview

The CURT 23518 Barbell Hitch Lock offers professional-grade security for 2" trailer receivers with a 5/8" steel pin, featuring a quick 1/4-turn lock, weatherproof protection, and dual keys. Trusted by thousands, it’s the essential upgrade to safeguard your trailer and accessories from theft while ensuring effortless operation.

## Description

Make your tow vehicle and trailer more secure by keeping them locked up tight with a CURT hitch lock. Like a hitch pin and clip, a hitch lock is designed to insert into the fastener hole in the side of a receiver tube in order to hold a ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory in place. While a CURT hitch pin does offer sufficient strength for keeping your ball mount firmly attached, a CURT hitch lock goes one step further. CURT hitch locks allow you to lock your ball mount into your trailer hitch, deterring theft and preventing anyone from detaching your trailer at the ball mount and towing away your property without your permission. This CURT hitch lock features a barbell design and comes with a 5/8" pin diameter to fit a 2" receiver tube size (usable pin length is 2.850"; will not work with double-walled receiver tubes). CURT barbell hitch locks are comprised of a pin with two end caps and a round locking mechanism. They are key-operated and activate with a simple 1/4-turn. They also come with a watertight dust cap to keep out the elements and prevent corrosion. For the ultimate in towing security, a hitch lock and coupler lock used together will provide security at both the vehicle-side and trailer-side of your towing setup. For your boat, ATV or camper, keep your toys more secure with CURT hitch locks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits perfect
*by L***N on June 6, 2026*

Nice product, fits perfect

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use
*by N***K on June 30, 2026*

Works great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Color, No Rust, Theft Deterent
*by J***E on June 17, 2025*

Great fit and finish that blends in well with our tow hitches. No signs of rust or fading from being outside all the time. The rubber cap can go missing fairly easy if you're not careful. These types of locks aren't unbreakable, but it does help deter theft, because rather than removing a pin without any tools and taking your hitch, a thief would at least have to commit to breaking the pin. A step many wouldn't bother doing especially in a public space. Cheap, easy to use peace of mind.
