All of these BOLT locks, such as their Covered Padlock that codes to GM center cut keys, part # BL7023537, can be programmed with one and only one key.

The BOLT Hitch Locks such as # BL7023582 can be coded to a vehicle key only one time.
This one-time coding is permanent. This means that if you change vehicles you will need to purchase new BOLT locks and code them to the new vehicle's key. Of course, if you sell your old vehicle the installed BOLT locks will remain coded to and usable with that vehicle's key. view full answer...
Yes, we using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs item # RM-2050-1 the towed vehicle's steering must be locked. Here is the step in the instructions straight from the owner's manual:

The purpose of rotating your steering wheel when installing Master Lock Advanced Security Quad Hook Vehicle Steering Wheel Lock # 252DAT is to engage the lock that is built-in to the steering column.

The installed quad-hook lock prevents rotation of the wheel in the event that the built-in lock was defeated and this is the security mechanism that prevents a thief from driving the vehicle. view full answer...
Correct, the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly part # DM9713045 does indeed call for the toad vehicle's steering wheel to be locked while in tow. If the toad vehicle's steering wheel does not lock then you will need to find a way to tie this off in a fixed potion, some use the seat belt.

If you like you can reference the owner's manual which I have attached for you that further explains the steering wheel lock requirements. view full answer...
According to the folks at Pace Edwards, their # 311-LK290 PowerGate tailgate lock will not interface with the vehicle's alarm. It will tie into the power locks so the tailgate lock will actuate with the key fob, but as far as the alarm system goes, the lock will operate independently of the vehicle's alarm system.
I've linked to a product description video for the Pace Edwards # 311-LK290 PowerGate tailgate lock. view full answer...

The Rack 'em Lock 'em Magnum wheel lock, part # RA-25, can be installed on the front or back of the tire.

I've linked a video demonstrating it.
I do recommend installing the lock with the key hole towards the outside of the vehicle. It'll work either way but it makes getting to the key easier for you. view full answer...

You actually want the steering wheel to lock on the vehicle that is getting towed on a tow dolly so what you have now would work great since yours locks. If the front wheels didn't lock there would be damage to the side of the vehicle as it turns since the dolly would hit it.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies... view full answer...
First, you can use the last bike position if you wanted to but the preferred method is to have it closest to the vehicle which puts less stress on the rack and vehicle.
Thule, the manufacturer, did not put locks on both sides because they are really not needed. When locked, the right side cables cannot be released so if the left side is removed, they still cannot get the rack off of the vehicle. The locks are meant as a deterrent rather than a fool-proof method of locking the rack to the... view full answer...
