I assume that you have a Alko stabiliser coupling so yes an Alto hitch lock will fit, so will others like Milenco, Stronghold, Bulldog etc. It all depends on what your budget is. The link below shows a wide range of hichlocks and some have various security accreditations. I found Alko top quality but that's a personal choice. Remember that a hitch lock on its own needs matching with other security like wheel clamps. As even with a hitch lock fitted a caravan can be towed away.

Having tried a variety over the years, IMO the only one i was happy to part with money for, was the black Alko premium.

Worth checking any stipulations in your insurance - or any discounts for additional security items. You may find a hitch lock and wheel lock are required, but locking wheel nuts and corner steady locks may also be listed. Look for an industry endorsement like Sold Secure which I think indicates that the device has been tested to destruction and passed certain criteria.

This one https://www.towsure.com/bulldog-dmaks-hitch-lock, has served me well to 20 years. Heavy duty. Sold Secure Gold. But a determined thief will have means as said by Clive to take the caravan. They are a deterrent and that’s about it
