Question:
Hi! I have this same model malone threaded hitch pin with the lock, however I dont trust the lock since its just made of plastic and I feel someone hitting it with a hammer is enough to break the lock itself so Id like to replace just the lock. Attached is a screenshot encircled orange. Perhaps a metal one would be great. What other locks do you carry that you can suggest to replace it? Id like to still be able to use the original threaded pin along with the cotter clip, just need to replace the plastic lock itself. Thanks!

What you could do though is use a cable lock like part # e98891 routed through your bike frames and back to the safety chain loop on your hitch as an anti-theft deterrent. I wish Malone had another option for a lock but at this time they do not.
