Question:
Would you recommend this for a Fold-Away Hinge Kit on a trailer? Id like to replace the pin with a lock.

The Rapid Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set, part # AM3492, is designed as a hitch pin lock set for Rapid Hitch adjustable ball mount systems. The two locks are designed for 2 inch and 2-1/2 inch trailer hitches. One lock is designed to lock the ball mount shank to the hitch and the other lock is used to lock the adjustable ball housing to the shank.
To determine if the locks will work on your fold-away coupler hinge kit you will need to measure the diameter of your pin on your hinge kit, and measure the width you will need for the lock to go through the hinge and be able to lock.
The adjustment pin lock has a pin diameter of 5/8-inch, the inside width is 4-1/4 inches, and the overall length is 7-1/2 inches. The hitch receiver pin lock has a pin diameter of 5/8-inch, the inside width is 3-5/16 inches, and the overall length is 6-1/2 inches. You will want to make sure these measurements will work with the measurements you took on your fold-away hinge kit.
The locks are also available as separate items. The adjustment pin lock is part # AM3428, and has the longer inside width (4-1/4 inches). The hitch receiver pin lock is part # AM3429, and has the shorter inside width (3-5/16 inches).
