Question:

Is there a keyed locking pin I could use instead of bolts? Im thinking I could remove the hitch when the trailer is parked and a locking pin in the channel for security.

The best option we can offer you to secure the Sleeve-Lock Trailer Coupler part # CTA-196 is with a wraparound style trailer coupler lock, the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock part # FA86-0015-316 is what I recommend.

I don't really have any pin locks that could be used with the coupler as most pin locks we offer are made for much larger holes. I understand someone could unbolt the coupler but the odds of them being able to do this are very low.
