I pulled one of the Bulldog # BDA256C0317 couplers off the shelf, and tested it with various coupler locks.
Other than our etrailer.com locks like the # e98890 that pass through the latch, I found three locks that would work pretty well for you.
The fit of the Blaylock EZ Lock # BLTL-33 was a bit loose, but once the locking bar was slid into place, I was unable to remove the lock by hand, although a pry bar might get it off.
The Master Lock Universal Trailer Coupler Lock, # 379DAT installed securely and worked well, as did the Master Lock Trailer Coupler Lock # ML389DAT.
Keep in mind that locks are for keeping honest folks honest. A determined thief is eventually going to get what they want. The idea is to slow him down or make him move on to somebody else's stuff.
