You can identify your key code by inspecting the face of the lock core for a numeric code, or you can look at the key itself.

If you're in the market for a new hitch receiver lock, the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches # e98881 is a great option and will work with 2" and 2-1/2" hitch receivers, and can be keyed alike to match other etrailer branded locks.
