You can lock both your bike rack and your bikes to your Curt hitch's safety chain loops by using a universal cable lock such as # e98891 (10-feet long). Curt Class I hitch # C11120 has dual safety chain loops at the receiver tube but the main hitch tube can also be used to attach the cable lock.

This is a popular and cost-effective option; this and other similar cable locks in various lengths can be seen on the linked page.

Most of the locks made for bike racks are product-specific and will fit only on certain racks from a given manufacturer. The Hollywood Racks Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock set # HRLHPTC is for their Commuter, Traveler, Trail Rider and Sport Rider racks so it is unlikely to work on another brand.
