  • 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 Replacement Cable Lock Include a Lock Core
  • The Replacement Cable Lock for Yakima FlipSide # Y8890204 that you referenced does not come with a lock core. It does come with a change key that will allow you to remove the lock core from your current rack and install it on to this # Y8890204.

I have also included a link to the instructions for the proper...

  • Does The Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Platform Rack Come With The Same Keys For The Cable Lock And Hitch Lock?
  • When buying the Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Platform Rack # NV22B-NA22B you will have a cable lock for each bike and a hitch lock for the rack. You will get one set of keys (2 keys) that will be identical. These keys will work for not only the hitch lock, but also for the four bike cables. No need to buy other locking cores to make them match. It comes with all the locking cores already installed and two of the same keys to unlock them both. I like to keep one on my keychain and the other hidden...

  • 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...

  • Is the Thule Compass Kayak Carrier Lockable
  • I have a solution for you but the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # TH890000 does not have it own locking system. This is fairly common among the kayak carriers. The best solution to lock the Compass would be a cable lock like the Thule Cable Lock w/ One Key System Lock - 6' Long part # TH538XT. The Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # TH849000 is a carrier that can be locked to the roof rack but only transports one boat so you would need two of them.

  • Can the Replacement Cable Lock Assembly for the Yakima HoldUp Bike Carrier be Keyed Alike
  • The Replacement Cable Lock Assembly # Y8890202 comes to us with the lock cores already packaged together so we can't really determine if the lock cores will match or not. Once you received them if they don't match we do have a wide variety of replacement cores that you can use to make sure they are keyed alike.

  • Does The Thule T2 Pro XTR Come With An Arm Lock?
  • Be sure to watch my review video of the Thule T2 Pro # TH83JV. It does have cable locks stowed away in the wheel hook arms! It's hard to see since they stow away so nicely. I really like the design especially compared to just having a sloppy bike cable that doesn't stow away in the arm.

  • 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...

  • Does the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler BD0289340317 Come with Release Cable
  • The cable to operate the release on the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler part # BD0289340317 is not included because it is not needed. It is only for convenience as you can still operate the coupler lock with just the handle. If you do want to add a cable then you would need to use the one off your old coupler or modify something to work for you as we do not carry these.

  • TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box Without Solar Panel
  • The box without the solar panel you are looking for is the TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box - 6V and 12V Batteries # TLA7708R; this is exactly the same as the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box # TLA7708RS with the only difference being it does not have the solar panel. In regards to a gap, I cut out a part of the linked video review which shows there is a small gap on the top of the box (on the left), though you may be able to use the hole in the back, depending on how...
