Is there anywhere on the rack to snack a cable lock through? The Yakima Arm Lock doesn't seem too usable for my needs. Thank you!

There is no place to put a cable lock. However for an extra $35 or so you can buy a lock attachment from Yakima that provides a short cable that is secure. Since it is short, you will probably also need to use an additional cable lock to get all four bikes.

I use a long bike cable lock. I wrap the cable at least once around the vertical stem of the bike rack then through the front tire and through the triangle part on the rear bike frame and rear tire of the bike. This secures both the quick release tires and the main bike frame to the bike rack. I can get 2 adult bikes secured onto the bike rack in this way. I make sure the cable is snug around the bikes and bike rack. For one bike, I just wrap the cable around the vertical part of the bike rack a few more times. Works well.

Yes, there are holes for a cable lock below where the tree strap goes through, although IMO, it would have been better if the if the cable lock holes were above the tree strap which would have made it easier to hang. No biggie..mine has been reliable even in sub zero temps. The time lapse feature is really cool.

Locks and their cables are there to keep honest people honest. Anyone who really wants to take your stuff will figure it out somehow. This type of lock is best used when looped through something sturdy as mentioned in other answers. Be smart with where you place it, and it will provide some small sense of security, or at the very least be very visible to you or others when someone waltzes out with an entire table/chair/laptop combination.

I do not have the lock mentioned, but the cable looks to be rather small in diameter, I would think it would fit through the lock hole.

No - anyone could pop the release in back so you should take that with you. The rack itself is secured to the seat post with an allen wrench, but you could thread a cable lock through it as well.

Yes. You can use the u-bar lock to lock the cable to. Or you can have a separate lock to use with the cable. In short, they're two separate locks that can work in tandem or separately. I hope this helps.

It has no lock on it. It clips on to your bike's rear rack. But it is quite difficult to remove once on the clips are stiff, and you could run a cable through the handle to prevent theft.

There are two small holes on each side of the back of the safe ( opposite side where the combination buttons are) so one could possibly could a cable and lock, but the cable would have to be pretty slim. Would still offer more protection this way, but would need to find the right cable.

There is an additional clip and cable that can be purchased. It fits over a window so when rolled up it "locks" in place. Would only keep honest people from stealing as one could easily break the window and remove. It's so simple to remove & reinstall, I prefer to do that. If you want something permanent, then I'd go a different direction - I don't want a fixed rack so this is perfect to put on when needed.

Our rack has the lock built- in. I don't think there is an after market system.

Sorry I'm not 100% sure, as I've had mine for several years, and mine is not available to test out, but I think to re set the code you have unlock it, and press in and hold in the small button on the cable side while you set the tumblers if it works you should be able to lock it. Hope this helps.

It did not come with a hitch lock... but I think I was able to run the cable lock thru the bikes on the rack and then thru some part of the hitch. Wasn't the best solution, but better than nothing.

If you have locking skewers on your wheels you don't need a cable. If you have quick releases you can lock the wheels together and frame. This is a small shank lock though so I'd recommend a cable to loop through front wheel. Be sure not to secure a bike with just the cable. Get a bigger lock shank of you tend to lock to larger objects.

The rack doesn't have a lock itself but you can easily run a cable across them. For the money this bike rack is awesome. We have used ours a few times and are getting ready for another trip with it.

cable lock is hidden at the top , you have to pull it , it does not come as a separate item.

Yes! Yakima Hitch Lock Mod# 8007235. It locks on to the bolt provided with this rack. Works perfectly!

We run a 3/8" thick bike cable lock thru the handle and both legs and lock that to our rig chassis. While not the greatest solution it gives us enough security to leave for a hike etc. We do not leave it out after sun-set.
