What Locking Hitch Pin Do I Need to Lock My Kuat Hi Lo Adapter # HL20B to My Vehicle?

Question

Question:

I ordered the kuat high low adapter so that the kuat Sherpa 2.0 rack wouldn’t be situated in front of my exhaust, and I’m wondering if there is a mechanism that can lock the high low adapter to my hitch? Currently the bike rack is locked to the high low adapter, but the adapter is not locked to the hitch.

The Kuat Hi Lo adapter part # HL20B has a threaded hitch pin design where it installs into the vehicle hitch, so a Kuat hitch lock like the part # HLT would securely lock the adapter to the vehicle hitch.
