The SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack # SR2415 referenced in your question does not include locks but they can easily be added. I recommend the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # SR0901 for a locking hitch pin that will secure the rack itself to the vehicle's trailer hitch. The threaded bolt also acts as an anti-rattle device that will do a great job of reducing noise and movement inside the hitch receiver. 2 keys are included.

Then for a cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack, I recommend the etrailer.com # e98891. This 10 foot long cable lock features a thick gauge, plastic coated steel construction that will help deter theft. The all weather grips will also allow for improved handling in even the most extreme environments.

I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these products that you can also check out.
