The shackle is too large to fit through the lock hole. A round padlock with shielded shackle would be a better fit. For example: Master Lock 40DPF Round Padlock with Shielded Shackle, 2-3/4-inch, Stainless Steel

I don't think so. It is too big to go through the hole. What you want is a padlock, like this one: Master Lock 1803DLF Laminated Padlock, 1-1/2-inch

Yes, you could drill holes for a u-bolt on the side rails to hold the 2" bracket. Just like the axiles are joined. This may only support the cart with no extra load. Also dissimilar metals would cause electroius aka pitting in the aluminum. So use an aluminum bracket and bolts.I use the hitch assembly and I load the cart with about 100lbs. So it essentially extra cargo storage for me. I also noted a 1 mph/gal decrease in fuel economy with cart fully loaded with bulky items over a 400 mile trip.

I am only using it to open our community gate. I believe it can be programmed for other functions...but not sure about vehicle locks. Try to contact the company.

No, it is not capable of doing that. It must be used just as shown when detached from a hitch. If you are wanting to lock it as you described, you will need a cleavis latch lock to do that or a padlock will work too. I prefer a dog bone style lock that does not have an exposed shackle. You may also consider securing your hitch to your receiver. There are locks for that as well. I hope this helps.

You can thread a strong metal cable under the car and through the two middle holes and secure it with a lock. If it's a snug fit at front and back it will be reasonably secure.

I doubt it would work very well unless the liner is flat and in full contact with the trucks bed on the sides, otherwise the bracket wont be supported well enough by the self tapping screws you have to use to attach it. Also the cable holding up your tailgate prevents the box from swinging out far enough to make these boxes accessible. Im not that happy with mine to be honest

It could, but because it is short, the effort would be considerable. And, the door would have to have a wood frame. This particular shorty would not be as effective on metal clad wood core doors in a metal frame. Even with a wood frame leverage would be essential to breach the lock's latch or dead bolt nested in the strike plate. But, yes a determined individual could use this to breach the locks but it will be all day and noisy. Stanley Fat max extreme, a trucker's friend or halligan bar all have longer handles to pry the latch and/or hinges. I assume you are working at this lock from the outside otherwise you could disassemble the lock with a screw driver...done. It could, but because it is short, the effort would be considerable.

It is unlikely/tricky. Best suited for connecting just the rear wheel through the frame to a post. Also, while I liked this lock to begin with, and it is very strongly built, I find the mechanism to be very finicky and a real hassle to operate. I have Abus locks (Granit54) that are likely almost as secure and much more user-friendly.

I used mine to add the power lock option to my tailgate on my Nissan Titan. So I would assume you should be able to but I am not an expert

If you want to lock up the front when you will definitely need another cable. I've been able to lock both my frame and rear wheel together with this lock.

Yes it can be used that way but, it depends on the depth of the hole you are lifting out of. That being said I use a doubled come- a- long hoist instead of chain. That way you can use that to get the required lift to swing out of hole and re hook once out and load on to truck. Hope this answers your question.

Yes I can and I have a Subaru outback wagon. And you can also lock the rack in a mounted position which also gives a little peace of mind.

Not really. I have a lock on the tow hitch receiver, but you would need a long cable lock for that. I cable the bikes together if I need to lock, but with a single bike wouldn't work. I only go to restaurants or short errands if I have bikes on the back. I would never leave them on overnight.

Do a search on Master Lock 8253DAT -- call company great question for customer service. There are so many trucks out there I am sure a thief would choose another truck tail gate without a lock and the hassle before they went around securing keys to steal tail gates with locks.

The wheel carrier mounts to the cross bar, so if you can get it close enough, and have a large enough u lock, it should be possible...

Yes. You can use the u-bar lock to lock the cable to. Or you can have a separate lock to use with the cable. In short, they're two separate locks that can work in tandem or separately. I hope this helps.

No, this cover doesn't have a lock, but the brackets can only be accessed from the inside. If your truck has a locking tailgate, you will be fine.
