Recommended Cable Lock and Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock That Can Be Keyed Alike for Yakima Bike Rack

Question:

Can I get two cables and the hitch lock, all keyed alike. If so, what is the price? If not, what other option do you suggest? I just ordered a Curt 11473 hitch and have a Yakima hanging 2 bike rack.

I have a solution for you, but the Hollywood Racks # HRLHPC1 hitch pin is not compatible with Yakima racks and they cannot be keyed alike, so they're not going to function in the manner that you're seeking. I'll also note that because the shanks on bike racks have threaded bolt holes that are unique for each manufacturer, the anti rattle hitch pins would need to be from the same manufacturer.

For that reason, you can instead use the Yakima LockUp Hitch Lock and Cable Lock for Same Key System # Y07238 and an additional cable lock with # Y07233. You'll then just need to replace the lock cores with compatible Yakima Same Key System cores using part # Y07204, which is a 4 pack of locks that all would use the same key. These components will work with your Curt # C11473 hitch with the 1-1/4" receiver.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at. The prices of these items are listed on the product page.
