Expert Reply:

By circular key, I believe you meant a barrel key, or barrel lock as they're sometimes called, and yes, there are a number of options for a lock that fits a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver that uses a barrel key, which are the following:

- Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # BX8858

- Fastway Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # FA86-00-3160

- MaxxTow Hitch Receiver Lock # MT38FR

Of these, I like the Blue Ox the best because of its superior forged steel construction as well as chrome finish to resist corrosion. This means that it is both extremely strong as well as durable so its made to last.
