Does the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack Include a Receiver Lock

Question:

I saw your youtube demo of the Yakima Full Swing 4 bike rack. It appears to have a receiver lock but was never confirmed in the video. Does it come w/ such a lock?

Yes, the Yakima FullSwing 4Bike Rack, # Y02465, does include a lock that will secure the rack to your vehicle's trailer hitch.

The lock on the Yakima FullSwing is integrated in to the orange anti-rattle knob that is located at the bottom of the rack. When you install the bike rack into your trailer hitch, you will turn the anti-rattle device knob until the rack is secured in the hitch. The Yakima FullSwing will include a set of keys that will fit the lock in the knob. Once you use the key to turn the lock in the knob, the knob it will free spin and will not allow anyone to loosen the rack from your trailer hitch.

The linked video will explain the features of the Yakima FullSwing, including the anti-rattle knob and lock.
