We sell several hitch locks for bike racks. Many times, bike rack manufacturers use threaded hitch pins, so you use a brand specific hitch lock. In one of your previous questions, it looks like you were interested in the Thule Parkway 4 Bike Rack. The lock that I recommend using for this bike rack is the Thule SnugTite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2. Due to the threaded shank of this bike rack, a standard hitch lock will not fit.

If you are interested in a different bike rack, let me know and I will be happy to make a recommendation that will work for you.
