Availability of Locking Hitch Pin that is 1/2 inch in Diameter
Question:
I am looking for a locking hitch pin for a 2inch receiver hitch. It needs to be 1/2inch threads. I see one that I like, Hitchmate Item # HE6001, but it is 5/8 threads. Do you know if it comes in 1/2? Item # MPG2174 looks like it would work for me. Just wondering if there are other options. I do not want to go with anything costing much more that $17. I need two pins and am hoping I can have them keyed alike so that one key will operate both locks. Let me know your suggestions. Thanks

Easiest way to pick out a locking hitch pin that is threaded is for me to know what hitch accessory you have. If you can get me the brand or even possibly the model of what you have I can see if we have something that would work.
The part # S64029 does have a 1/2 inch diameter and a 12 UNC coarse thread design but without knowing more info on your setup I can't guarantee this will work.
