I may have a solution for you but the bike rack manufacturers use threads specific to their racks that limits using other brands on their racks. The Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks # S64031 is going to work with Swagman racks that have a 1-1/4" or 2" combination shank (2" combination meaning that there is a sleeve that adapts the 1-1/4" to 2").

However, we do have the 8' Cable Lock and Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Saris Hitch Mounted Bike Racks # SA984. This lock kit will fit the following models: Porter SA402B and SA404B; Freedom SA4026, SA4025, SA4414B, and SA4412B; Axis SA832B, SA833B, SA834B, and SA843B; Thelma SA4239B and SA4229B; T-Rax 212, 214, 222, 224, and 225; T-Bones 822 and 823; and Cycle-On 4023.

If you do not have one of the above mentioned Saris models, you can reach back out to me with the model of Saris bike rack that you have and I would be happy to help you find the correct lock kit.
