Can the Lock Clip be Removed from the Hitch Cover to Use a Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock

Question:

I am wanting to purchase the St. Louis Blues 2" NHL Trailer Hitch Receiver Coverinch and it looks like it has clips where a lock would go. Do those remove and would the following lock work with it Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Flush Design for 2inch Trailer Hitches. Also, I know that it states the base that goes into the trailer hitch is plastic. What about the face plate and Blue note. Is that plastic or metal? Thanks

You will be able to remove the locking clip on the St. Louis Blues Hitch # OHCC014.I attached a video of the clip being removed and inserted on the same hitch cover, but with a different logo you may find helpful.

The Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock with Flush Design for 2" Trailer Hitches # e98882 will work with this hitch cover. The hitch cover pin holes are designed to be as large as the hitch pin holes, so locks similar to this one can fit in the hitch.

The base of the hitch cover is plastic but the hitch face is zinc. The Blues logo is protected by a plastic coating.
