Is There a Lock for the 2-5/16" Gooseneck Coupler Head

Question

Question:

Im wondering if you can recommend a locking pin that will work on this redline coupler so I can lock my trailer to the truck while the trailer is hooked up. This appears to require a 1/2 pin, but most locking hitch pins are 5/8 or 3/4. Most of the 1/2 pins seems like they would be too short, so appreciate your recommendation. 291300
