There are many options to consider in terms of design and included features and the linked article on these racks will help you consider these options and which type of rack may best suit your particular bikes. The other link provided will show you all available spare-tire-mount 2-bike racks; you can use the filters in the left-hand margin to narrow the results based on your preferred characteristics.

For example, the Thule Spare Me 2-Bike Carrier # TH963PRO (which is shown in the linked video in use on a 2006 Liberty) is USA-made and carries a limited lifetime warranty. It offer a 75-lb total weight capacity for your two bikes and includes locks both for the carrier itself and your loaded bikes.

The Hollywood Racks SR1 # HRSR1 that you referenced is also light in weight and installs very easily
but this carrier does not include locks. You could add a cable lock such as # e98891 for anti-theft protection.

If you will be transporting women's, kid's or alternative design bikes that lack a horizontal top frame tube (as found on a typical man's bike) then you will benefit from using an adapter bar like # HRBA-PRO from Hollywood Racks. The adapter helps keep such bikes level to maintain safe ground clearance.
