For our hitch receivers, we offer hitch receiver locks that have either 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch diameter pins. Depending on what you intend to use the locking pin for we do have other options available. We carry locking coupler pins that may work for you.

The first lock I recommend is the Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock, part # 2847DAT. This is a 1/4 inch diameter pin that has a keyed lock and is adjustable to fit lengths of 5/8 inch, 1 inch, and 2 inch.

Another coupler lock I recommend is our etrailer.com Coupler Lock, part # e98888. This lock has a span of 3-3/8inch and has a keyed deadbolt style lock with a 1/4 inch diameter pin.

I have linked you to some other coupler locks that have 1/4 inch diameter pins but are different length.
