Expert Answers about Bike Locks


  • Does the Hollywood Racks Destination # HR4000 Come with a Hitch Lock and Bike Locks?
  • As far as your first question - yes. The Hollywood Racks Destination # HR4000 comes with a hitch lock that locks the rack to the hitch. I went ahead and attached a screenshot of this lock. For your second question, the Destination does not come with a lock for the bikes. However, you can buy a cable lock to thread around the bikes and through the center mast. For this route, I recommend using the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891. With both of these locks, your rack and the bikes have theft-deterrence...

  • How to Lock Swagman Trailhead 4-Bike Rack
  • The answer is actually all of the above - the Swagman Trailhead 4-Bike Rack # S63380 does not come with any locks, either to lock it into the hitch or the cable lock for the bikes. You can add both, however, with the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks # S64031 This will allow you to lock the rack to your hitch, and bikes to the rack, respectively. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out of the lock as well as a link to a review of the Swagman...

  • Does the Thule Vertex 4 Bike Rack Have a Hitch Lock
  • The (discontinued) Thule Vertex 4 Bike Rack TH9029XT has an integrated cable lock which secures the bikes to the bike rack, but it only uses the anti-rattle hitch pin which doesn't lock. Thule does provide their Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 which will still give you that anti-rattle feature, while also adding on the locking feature that you are looking for. You can use the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450200 to use on both the bike rack and the Snug Tite...

  • Can Rack Lock Be Added to Rhino-Rack Hanging Style 2 Bike Rack
  • The Rhino-Rack 2 Bike Rack # RRRBC045 doesn't come with bike or rack locks and since the only way to accomplish this is by wrapping a cable lock like part # e98891 around the bikes, rack, and trailer hitch I recommend checking out a different bike rack instead. For a cost-effective bike rack alternative you can use the Swagman Trailhead # S63360 which can be locked to the vehicle with part # S64029. You will still need a cable lock like part # e98891 to lock the bikes though. For a 2-bike...

  • Do Keys Come with Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack For Arms and Rack
  • The Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV comes with cable locks that tuck away in the arms for a clean aesthetic as well as a locking anti-rattle hitch pin. It comes with matching keys for both the bike and rack locks so you can keep 1 key on your person and then put the additional key in a safe place. Be sure to record the number of the key so you can order more in case you misplace it. The number can be found on the cylinder of the lock core but that won't do you any good if the core is locked.

  • The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # RKY87RR does not come with a ramp.

An integrated cable lock is included...
