Hey Jeff, I attached a picture that shows how the InfiniteRule Lock for Gen-Y Hitch SnapLatches # IR48FR and the part # GY87TQ is designed to attach to a Gen-Y gooseneck coupler with the SnapLatch system.

If you have the older model without the SnapLatch you would need Gen-Y's GH-8111 coupler lock. It's been discontinued so we no longer have stock on it but you might still be able to find it somewhere else or could reach out to Gen-Y to see if they still have some available.
