I'm trying to reduce the number of keys in my life and have switched to using mostly SFIC type locks. These are commercial type locks that let me use the same key for my house doors, padlocks, and a variety of other things.
I'm looking for a hitch lock that doesn't come with yet another key. I have a variety of commercial grade keyed alike padlocks I could use. Does anybody make a good hitch lock that allows for a padlock instead of some proprietary built in lock?
The best I could find is something like this:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Reese-Towpower-Anti-Theft-Hitch-Pin-with-Lockable-Swivel-Latch/16879603
But the little clip that holds the lock is a joke. A hammer or a pair of tin snips would take it off in a second.
My only other idea is to drill out a standard 5/8" hitch pin for a 1/4" lock shackle, but that doesn't leave much meat around the lock.
And while I'm at it, does anybody make a trailer coupler lock that takes a padlock? Everything seems to have it's own built in proprietary and usually very low security lock. I don't want 3 or 4 keys just for my truck...
