We have a few options that you may wish to consider. If you are looking for a lock for the hook or hitch alone, I would recommend our etrailer.com coupler lock, part # e98887. This lock has a 1/4 inch diameter pin that is 2-1/2 inches long and has a covered key slot that prevents corrosion.
Another trailer coupler lock I would recommend would be the Master Lock Adjustable Trailer Coupler Lock, part # 2847DAT. This coupler lock has a 2 inch shaft and may provide a more snug fit for the pintle hitch.
If you are looking for a lock for the Lunette ring, I would recommend the Blaylock EZ Lock Trailer Coupler Lock for Lunette Ring Couplers, part # BLTL-60-40D. This is made of rustproof aluminum and fits lunette rings with 2-1/2 inch or 3 inch inner diameter. This system also includes a stainless steel padlock I have linked you to a product review video for this lock system.
