So we do have an option for you, though trailer hitch locks with a 1/2" pin diameter are designed for 1-1/4" hitch receivers. That said, you can use one with your 2" receiver, as the lock just requires the necessary length to span the receiver. There is one option for this, though it is not made in the USA, which is from Buyers Products:

- Buyers Products 1/2" Locking Hitch Pin # 337BLHP125

The # 337BLHP125 has the 1/2" pin you are looking for, as well as a 3-1/2" span so it will work for your 2" hitch.
