InfiniteRule 61072-S Receiver Hitch Lock for 2" & 2.5" Receivers - 5/8" Pin

InfiniteRule 61072-S Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - 5/8" Pin - Fits 2" Receivers

Heavy-duty stainless steel receiver lock for securing ball mounts and hitch-mounted accessories in compatible 2" and 2.5" Class III, IV, and V trailer hitch receivers.

Why Use the InfiniteRule 61072-S Receiver Lock?

The InfiniteRule 61072-S receiver hitch lock is designed to help secure a ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory in a compatible trailer hitch receiver. It uses a 5/8" stainless steel locking pin with a 3-1/8" usable span, making it suitable for many 2" and 2.5" Class III, IV, and V receiver applications.

This lock is built for towing setups where strength, corrosion resistance, and theft deterrence matter. The machined stainless steel construction helps resist rust, while the threaded locking end and weather-resistant rubber cap help protect the lock from road grime, dirt, and moisture.

⚠️ Important Fitment Note

This receiver lock is designed for compatible 2" and 2.5" receiver applications that use a 5/8" hitch pin and can accept a 3-1/8" span. Do not order by receiver size alone.

Before ordering, verify the receiver size, hitch pin hole diameter, required pin span, wall thickness, accessory width, and available clearance around the receiver. Some factory receivers, heavy-duty hitches, oversized collars, or tight bumper/frame areas may require a different span or lock style.

📋 Installation / Use Overview

Before Starting: Confirm the trailer hitch receiver and accessory both use a 5/8" hitch pin and that the receiver/accessory combination requires a span that fits this lock. Inspect the hitch pin holes for damage, rust, deformation, or misalignment before use.

Basic Use Steps:

1. Insert Accessory: Slide the compatible ball mount or hitch accessory fully into the receiver tube.

2. Align Pin Holes: Align the receiver and accessory hitch pin holes.

3. Insert Locking Pin: Slide the 5/8" locking pin through the aligned holes.

4. Install Lock Head: Thread the locking end onto the pin according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Lock and Check: Lock the assembly and pull gently to confirm it is secure.

6. Install Dust Cap: Seat the rubber cap over the lock cylinder to help protect it from dirt and moisture.

7. Inspect Before Towing: Confirm the ball mount or accessory is fully seated, locked, and compatible with the towing setup before travel.

8. Store Keys Safely: Record/save the key number if available and keep spare keys in a safe location.

📦 What's Included

Package Contents:
• 1 InfiniteRule 61072-S receiver hitch lock
• 5/8" stainless steel locking pin with 3-1/8" span
• Locking end / lock cylinder assembly
• Weather-resistant rubber dust cap
• Keys as supplied by manufacturer

NOT Included — May Also Need:
• Trailer hitch receiver
• Ball mount or drawbar
• Hitch ball
• Receiver reducer sleeve or adapter
• Anti-rattle device

• Safety chains, wiring, or towing hardware

This listing is for the receiver hitch lock only unless otherwise stated. Confirm your receiver size, pin hole diameter, required span, and hitch accessory fitment before ordering.

📄 Fitment & Support Notes

To confirm compatibility before ordering, have the following ready:
• Receiver size: 2" or 2.5"
• Hitch pin hole diameter
• Required pin span across the receiver/accessory combination
• Accessory type, such as ball mount, bike rack, cargo carrier, or weight distribution shank
• Receiver wall thickness and collar style
• Clearance around the receiver for the lock head and key access
• Whether the vehicle has a factory receiver with unusual width or tight surrounding clearance

Why this matters: Receiver locks can share the same 5/8" pin diameter but differ in usable span, lock head clearance, receiver compatibility, and accessory fit.

InfiniteRule 61072-S Compatibility Check

Fitment Point 61072-S Reference What to Verify
Receiver Size
2" and 2.5" compatible receiver applications
Confirm your receiver and accessory combination accepts the listed span and pin diameter
Pin Diameter
5/8"
Measure or confirm the hitch/accessory pin hole size before ordering
Pin Span
3-1/8"
Measure the needed usable span across the receiver and hitch accessory
Receiver Class
Class III, IV, and V reference
Receiver class alone is not enough; verify physical fitment, pin diameter, and span
Accessory Type
Ball mounts and compatible hitch accessories
Confirm accessory shank width, hole alignment, and clearance around the lock head
Lock Clearance
Threaded / flush-style lock end
Make sure there is room to install the lock head, turn the key, and seat the dust cap
Replacement Scope
Receiver lock only
Ball mount, hitch ball, receiver adapter, coupler lock, and anti-rattle hardware are not included

Match this lock by receiver size, pin diameter, usable span, accessory width, lock-head clearance, and towing setup. Do not select by receiver size alone.

Receiver Hitch Lock Troubleshooting

Issue Possible Lock / Fitment Cause Other Causes to Check
Pin will not go through receiver
Receiver or accessory may not use a 5/8" hitch pin hole, or holes may not be aligned
Accessory not fully inserted, paint buildup, rust, burrs, damaged receiver, wrong pin diameter, or misaligned shank holes
Lock is too short
Receiver/accessory combination may require a longer usable span than 3-1/8"
2.5" receiver collar width, reducer sleeve, thick accessory shank, oversized receiver wall, or specialty hitch design
Lock has extra side-to-side space
3-1/8" span may be longer than needed for some 2" receiver setups
This may be normal if the lock is otherwise secure; verify no unsafe movement or incorrect accessory fitment
Lock head will not thread on
Threads may not be aligned, dirty, damaged, or under side pressure
Receiver/accessory bind, debris in threads, damaged pin end, wrong installation angle, or insufficient clearance
Key will not turn
Lock cylinder may be dirty, wet, frozen, or under tension
Wrong key, worn key, debris in cylinder, missing dust cap, corrosion, or lock head side-loaded by accessory
Dust cap will not stay on
Cap may not be fully seated or may be damaged
Dirt around lock head, stretched cap, cracked cap, or interference from nearby receiver components
Accessory still rattles
Receiver locks secure the accessory but do not always remove receiver movement
Use a compatible anti-rattle device if movement is from receiver clearance rather than pin security
Lock seized after storage
Moisture, dirt, or road grime may have entered the lock cylinder or threads
Clean and maintain according to manufacturer instructions; keep dust cap seated when installed

If fitment or locking issues continue, check receiver size, pin hole diameter, usable span, lock head clearance, accessory alignment, thread condition, and key/cylinder operation before replacing additional towing parts.

🚫 Safety & Towing Warnings

Always confirm the receiver lock, hitch receiver, ball mount, hitch ball, trailer, and towing vehicle are properly rated and compatible for the towing setup. A receiver lock helps secure the accessory to the receiver, but it does not increase hitch capacity, correct an overloaded trailer, replace safety chains, or fix an improperly matched towing system. Inspect the lock before each trip and do not tow with damaged, mis-sized, loose, or improperly installed towing hardware.
