You will not be able to use Draw Tite hitch locks with a Thule bike rack if you want all of your locks keyed alike. However, you can get a Thule hitch lock and a set of Thule locks that will be keyed alike.

For a hitch lock I recommend the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2. The T2 has 5 locations for Thule One-Key System lock cores - the hitch lock, the ratcheting bike hooks which grab the bike wheels, and the integrated cable locks that extend out of the bike hooks to grab the bike frames. However, only 3 lock cylinders are included. If you want to lock all locks with one key, you will need to purchase the 6-pack of lock cylinders, part # TH450600. Then you can remove the lock cylinder in the hitch lock # THSTL2, and replace it with the remaining lock from the 6-pack of lock cylinders.

I have included a video review of the Thule hitch lock for you to check out.
