pull rite-super glide

[24fb_freedom]

I bought a pullrite superglide hitch (the 2900 model) and in the manual it states you can use a lock to secure the handle when in the locked towing position but I can't seem to find a lock that will work on this model because of the design of the steel around it, what do you guy's use on this hitch to secure the handle from coming open when traveling?
thanks in advance.

Thanks guy,I'm not sure what the 2700 looks like but I'll give these ideas a try.

The photo Specularius posted above is exactly the way my 3300 is and I have to problem with a regular Master lock I use (it is a long shank about 2 inches or so, but that is one I had on hand anyways). I will also have to back up a bit to take pressure off, but like I said before, it's peace of mind and to keep some knucklehead from playing with it when left unattended.

You might be able to find a cable lock to go through it. Maybe a short one like you would use on a handgun.

X2, after seeing the pic of the hitch there is no way a lock can secure that handle! I would contact the Super Glide people and question their manual, they might have a better suggestion for you!

The manual clearly states that the lock can only be used on the 2700 model.

The handle on my last Super Glide was almost impossible to pull out if I didn't back up and take the pressure off the pin first. I never worried about Godzilla coming along and pulling it out.

That is the way mine is. Always have to backup to take the pressure off the pin.

If you look at page 9 in this link you can see how the 2700 has an exposed rail and the ability to easily get a padlock above the rail.

Lock access

Thanks for the Picture rjxj. That clears it up some for me. I had a 18K pound super 5th hitch before and the pad lock worked. Sorry I don't have a suggestion.

The frame design is somewhat different because there is nowhere to slip the lock in above the handle.

This is the 2900 hitch. Notice how there is no opening to the top left/front side where a padlock could be placed above the handle.

As shown above in my other post, I chose to drill a hole in the lip of my capture plate rather than cut/weld/modify my hitch or pin box. The only modification is one hole drilled in the capture plate.

My Superglide is a 3300 and has the oval slot the pull handle slides through. I use a Master lock similar to the one shown. Much of the time I only slide it through as a precaution so a huge jolt doesn't release it but I'm not so sure that would happen. It's more for peace of mind for that and if left unattended it's locked so it isn't messed with.

I used a ball latch pin on mine. Could not find a lock large enough. All you need is something to prevent someone tampering with it walking by.
I had to crawl into bed of truck to take it off.
