To lock the bike rack to the hitch you will need the Thule Snug Tite lock # THSTL2. And to lock the bikes to the rack and vehicle use Thule cable lock # TH538XT. Run the cable through the bikes and the safety chain loops on the hitch to lock the bikes. I have included links to video reviews on both products for you.
