Do you lock or unlock the hitch while pulling your TT?
I've always have locked the hitch when towing my TT, simply because I don't want to lose the lock. But should you lock the hitch when towing?

However if your trailer uses a 2 5/16" ball and the keyed security lock is one that goes through the hitch pin, it's at best a cosmetic lock. that leaves the ball socket on the hitch open and all it takes for someone to drive off with your trailer is for them to drop the hitch onto a 2" ball, and then drive off.
I believe the OP was referring to while driving...so there's already a 2 5/6" ball blocking a thief from dropping it on their 2" ball...not to mention, it's doing 60mph down the freeway.
To the OP: We have a simple spring clip that keeps it from accidentally being released. No key'd lock.
