I bought this hitch at a garage sale but it didn’t come with a key. Anyone know where I can get a key before I destroy the lock?

A locksmith can make one but it will probably cost more than the lock is worth. Without the original key that had key number stamped on it mfg. can't help you.

That ace key design is a hard one to de anything with, even for a locksmith, as mentioned best time spent just cut or brake it off.
