Question:
Looks like tubular keys are fairly easy to pick. I am looking for an adjustable trailer hitch that has a unique key, not a tubular key. Do you guys have anything like that? Ive had trailer hitches stolen off of my truck and I am looking for something that cannot be stolen.

The tubular locks used in the # DTALBM6625-2S Fastway Adjustable Locking Ball Mount are as secure as you're going to find among the locking ball mounts we offer.
Just about any style of lock can defeated if the thief has enough time and is determined enough. The purpose of the lock in this case is to provide deterrence. When the thief sees that the ball mount is secured by the lock, hopefully he'll move on to something that is less well protected. Using the lock and removing the ball mount from the vehicle when its not being used will be your best defenses against theft.
