I am not sure what application you are using the detent pin for. Typically they are used on something like an umbrella or can be found on some bike or ski racks.
We do not offer locking detent pins but we do have locking pins that may work well for you. One lock I recommend is part # e98888. This is a 1/4 double chrome finish and has a protective cap on the locking porting to keep dirt and moisture out. The pin on this lock is 3-3/8 inches long.
For a lock that has a 2 inch span and a Zinc dichromax pin finish I recommend part # e98886.
