Draw-tite 63223 5/8in bent-pin receiver lock
product overview
The Draw-Tite 63223 5/8in bent-pin receiver lock is a no-nonsense way to keep trailers, bike racks and other hitch-mounted kit where they belong. It’s made to suit both 2in and 2.5in square receivers and uses a 5/8in (≈15.9mm) bent pin that slots through the receiver and hitch shank. Whether you’re leaving a trailer overnight, popping down to the marina or parking in a busy car park, this lock gives a bit of extra peace of mind without any faff or fiddly setup.
key features
- Works with standard 2in and 2.5in square hitch receivers, so it fits most tow setups.
- 5/8in bent-pin design reduces movement and rattle compared with straight pins, and helps keep the receiver and hitch locked together.
- Made from robust steel for dependable strength when towing or storing equipment.
- Corrosion-resistant coating to help fend off rust — handy if you’re near the coast or out in all weathers.
- Compact and lightweight: dimensions 22.86 x 12.7 x 3.3 cm; weight ~363 g — small enough to stash in the glovebox or toolbox.
specifications
Manufacturer part number: 63223. Item weight: about 363 g. Dimensions: 22.86 x 12.7 x 3.3 cm. Designed for 5/8in pin holes and compatible with standard 2in and 2.5in square receivers. The maker doesn’t always list exact finish details, but the unit has a corrosion-resistant coating suitable for everyday use and marine-adjacent conditions.
installation & use
Fitting is straightforward: align the receiver and hitch shank, push the bent pin through the holes, then secure with the retaining clip or locking mechanism supplied. No specialist tools required — a standard spanner or clip pliers will do. It’s a quick, fuss-free fit that takes seconds to fit and remove, so you’re not hanging about when hooking up for a run to the shops or a weekend away. Check the clip is fully seated before you set off, and give the pin an occasional wipe and light coating of lubricant if you’re often out in salt air.
why choose this lock
A good receiver lock is one of the simplest ways to deter opportunist theft and protect costly towing gear. The bent-pin profile helps cut down on noise and play versus a straight pin, and the compact size means it’s out of the way when you don’t need it. It’s ideal for weekend caravanners, anglers leaving trailers at the slipway, or anyone after a tougher option than a standard hitch pin. If your receiver uses non-standard pin holes or bespoke hardware, double-check the measurements first.
In short, the Draw-Tite 63223 is a practical, well-made bit of kit that does the job without any fuss — quick to fit, built to last, and a small outlay for greater security.
