Does it need a separate hitch lock? (The one which lock the rack to the hitch, not the one which locks bikes to the rack).

Once you tighten the hitch, you can 'unlock' the adjustment knob. It will then freespin. So you won't be able to remove the rack

No, the RidgeBack comes with a locking mechanism to lock the rack into the hitch.

The lock to the hitch is included with the Ridgeback. You can add the Yakima Handcuff to lock the bikes to the rack.

I do recall this rack does come with a lock and key because I recall removing them so that I can install two locks using one key. The rack lock and the cable lock.

I installed hitch by myself. This is separate thing: CURT 13068 Class III Receiver HitchAnd rack and hitch are incompatible, AllenSports declared that this bike rack is for 2" hitch but this is not true.

There are two rubber T-Pieces that get locked in place in the tailgate when you close it. Tailgate needs to be lockable if you want it theft-proof unless you lock the bike to the loadbed. "Rack" does have a lock that locks it to the bike though. Have a look at this pic, but it really is an easy diy http://rackwarehouse.com.p2.hostingprod.com/images/productimages/thule/t501-2.jpg

Yes, the rack comes with locks to lock the bikes to the mounts as well as the rack to the hitch. The trailer hitch, of course, is not included.

You will have to buy a separate locking pin for your hitch, but it can be done.

Not really but there are some products around that you can sort of rig to work that way. I use a long cable that goes around both frames and then lock the cable to the hitch. I think there is a lockable hitch pin but I have never purchased one of those.

No, It does not have locks. I use my bike lock. With that being said, I really like this rack.

You have to purchase a lock separately. It has a place for a lock that connects to the red screw handle to keep it from turning - but not just any lock. It is a specific accessory you have to purchase. But, you can also use a standard bike lock to lock your bike to the rack. As far as locking the rack to your car, this rack does not support that at all. You'd have to come up with your own solution.

The pin we use for the bike hitch and other receivers has a lock that is opened with a key. You'll want to keep it clean and lubricated. Google has a variety of options. Amazon lists this one along with several others. just ask for hitch pin with a key as you use your search engine or amazon.: 1/2" Key-Locking Hitch Pin for 1-1/4" Class I/II Hitch Receivers

I've locked two bikes together with this before. It depends on what you're locking them to, but it's definitely possible.

It does come with a cable lock that you tie your bikes and attach them to the rack. It does not come with a bolt lock.

I suppose it could if you can find a pin that will go through that is lockable. On my trip to Moab, UT we just bought a extra long cable and a set your own combination lock running it the cable through the 3 bikes wheels and back to tho the hitch where we used the safety chain loops to lock the the bikes to the the car. The only think I had a problem with is the pin/bolt that came with the carrier was too short, and the hole in the carrier was is 1/ inch and my hitch uses a 5/8th pin. We fixed this by hitting Lowe's and buying a 1/2' bold and nut. so if you go buy a locking pin for the hitch be sure it's long enough and only 1/2". As I said I also wanted to secure the bikes so the cable is my advice.

Not even a little - I use it that way and it is rock solid. Yes it can be locked to the hitch quite easily as well - its right in the handle where you tighten it down - you just lock it up and your good to go. Best Rack I ve ever owned - cant go wrong on this one.

* Bolting the rack to the receiver improves the security when leaving the car/bike in parking lots. A locking cable works well too. * Yes. Contact a sport dealer in your area - perhaps a high end bike shop, large RV dealer, hitch dealer to obtain satisfaction. They will have a pin or adapter for you.Hope this helps you. I also tied short ropes to tie the lower rack to tie the tires for greater stability when driving at high speed.

The pin screws into the hitch to hold it steady and there is a safety pin that keeps it from getting loose. Would be hard to add a locking pin. I just run my locking cable through the hitch's safety chain loop so the rack can't be removed easily.

yes. but the rack is heavy. I should have bought an aluminum one instead. This one will last good long time. No thief key for the hitch mount. It's just a screw in bolt.

The hitch comes with a steel hitch pin bolt and a cotter pin. If you want to lock the rack to the car hitch, I recommend this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/SportRack-Hitch-Pin-Bolt-with-Lock-Black/23578452
