Parts Needed to Lock Swagman XC2 Bike Rack

Question:

Will any locking hooks fit the XC2? If not are there any third party locks which fit above the hook? i.e. I would put on two bikes and then put on 2 hooks, then place the lock on the vertical bar above the top hook

I have an effective way to lock your Swagman XC2 part # S64650 but not with locking hooks.

The Swagman Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Set, # S64031, is the correct lock and cable set for your XC-2 bike rack. This set was designed for all Swagman bike racks that have a 1-1/4 inch square shank, even if they come with the 2-inch shank adapter. These bike racks require the smaller pin that is included with this set, even on 2 inch hitches. The smaller pin is more than capable of holding your bike rack to a 2 inch hitch, so you will not have to worry about that.

The 2-Inch lock and cable set, # S64030, was designed for bike racks that only have a 2 inch square shank because they were designed with a larger hitch pin hole.
