Snug Tite Lock

Slapping all your bikes onto your rack is necessary but occasionally nerve wracking, but Thule's Snug Tite Lock takes some of the worry out of your trip with a bomber construction that helps secure your Hitch Post Pro rack to your hitch. It also makes it significantly harder for someone to lift the rack off your hitch when you stop for a burger, fits both 2in and 1.25in hitch carriers, and has a swappable lock cylinder that lets you use it with different Thule models (other cylinders are sold separately).

garbage! lock completely seized up

this thing is garbage, and absolutely NOT worth the money that it costs. every coming winter i would take my thule bike rack off of my car, which meant taking the snug-tite receiver lock off. and every time, without failure, it would take me like 10-15 minutes to get the key to turn enough to release the lock. the thing finally totally seized up and even after several wd-40 applications, this thing is toast. i'm pretty sure i'm going to have to cut the actual pin with some kind of grinder to get off. very frustrating.

CANNOT UNLOCK THE HITCH LOCK STL2

I cannot unlock the hitch lock stl2. Noone in my family can do it either no matter how many youtubes or any other on-line instructions. I need to get the bike rack off of my car. Please help. I am about ready to destroy the bike rack to get it off of my car. Since I could not unlock the hitch, I tried to put the cap back on and cannot get it back on.

Secures bike rack from theft - but it's stuck!

The bolt and lock have worked great; but it got cross threaded and neither I nor my mechanic can remove it. Since the threads are hidden, we can't just cut off the bolt head. I'm looking for ideas on how to get the lock pin system free from the trailer hitch. Can't recommend if this is going to cost me my bike rack and my hitch.

Will fail you

I bought this a couple years ago to secure my hitch mount bike rack to the back of my travels trailer. Tried to remove it after the first season and couldn't get it to unlock, it was -10c so I assumed it was frozen and left it on the trailer for winter storage. Beginning of the next season I tried to remove it again but still could not. I needed the bike rack on our SUV this fall so spent an hour jiggling, oiling and heating with no luck so I resorted to brute force and popped the lock off the end of the bolt by simply wedging a wrench under the lock and unscrewing thee bolt from the rack... The way this is designed the lock hangs with the open hole toward the top so you are guaranteed to get water/dirt/salt inside causing it to seize. I was able to tap a bolt into he little cover plate and salvage my code-matched cylinder for something else. I will not be buying any more Thule standalone locks/cables.

Don’t leave home without it!

I left my last one on my bumper and drove off...ordered and delivered fast. I would have paid more if it came standard with my Thule bike rack.

Quick, Good Service, and Good Professional Work

The Snug Tite lock works very well. It fits properly and will keep my bicycles from being stolen. All the Thule products I have owned live up to a good reputation

Added security

It is odd that they call it “snug Tite” as the lock hangs on the pin loosely and not snug against the hitch. But I have to trust the engineering that the rack is securely held and reasonably secure from theft. It was easy to install and seems like a well made product.

Easy to install. Thus fare has worked well.

Have had less than a week but knowing the bike rack is locked is of great comfort.
