Ifor Williams lock barrel

Any ideas of how you change the lock on the hitch for an ifor williams plant trailer? Bought one recently but there is no key. Its locked in the open position.

I've had a brief look but its not completely clear how you'd go about changing it.

 

I know these are very vulnerable locks and only likely to slow someone down for a minute or two but as its on the trailer I'd prefer it worked and you can get a replacement for £12.

 

Any pointers?

Forget the ifor hitch. A crowbar to the release mechanism and its snapped. Thats why ifors get pinched so easily. The indespension trailers come with something called a triple lock. You can easily fit a head to an ifor, and they cannot be drilled out. I kmkw as the key snapped in mine once and I spent two hours trying to drill it and get it off. In the end, I had to remove the head from the trailer and the towball from the truck and replace both. A triple lock coupling will set you back about 100. You get two keys , and tamper proof bolts to attach it.
