I wanted to use this in an open garage. Is there any way to make it secure so it would be hard for someone to steal bike.

If it has open stud walls, put big eye bolt into a stud so you can use your bike lock while it's in the raised position.

The best answer is to use some decent lag bolts to secure it to your floor or some masonry anchors if you have concrete floors. Concealing it from view will also help deter thieves. Possibly mounted to the floor or wall in a closet. Most thieves want to snatch and run, not spend lots of time trying to pry a safe from a well mounted location. Every little bit helps.

Not really. But I guess you could anchor a chain to the ceiling of the carport and then lock the chain to the bike frame.

I think it would fall off when it opens. Plus it would also be easy for someone to steal.

If you are reasonably careful, but the rack must be "securely" mounted to the wall. I normally have two bikes up, but at times I take the bottom one for a ride leaving the top bike still on the rack. It seems secure and has not been a problem. I would not trust it free standing..

I have ours inside the garage, but would imagine it would be fine outside if you were able to anchor it down. It has scew holes for anchoring.

I had zip ties on it at first before finally fastening with the included bracket and screws and no issues with theft. It's a great useful basket, but it's still just a bike basket...not sure it's worth someone's effort to steal.

I think he means secure as in secure from theft. I did read somewhere that there is an embedded nut on the light itself, so if you were to use some form of secure mount with what is probably a 1/4-20 thread bolt, then you can lock it in place. That's how I plan to attach mine, to a plate that is mounted under the handlebars and out of the way. Make it so that it's too much effort to steal.

it depends on your bike.mine had a quick release mechanism,so it could easily slip in. Then i had a quick adjustment to make it screwed down,so it cant be removed and stolen,easily

I think it would be difficult to steal. There is not enough slack in the cables once tightened correctly to remove it easily. I would think someone would need to cut the cables. I have had mine on for a year with no issues. I feel that it is very secure if installed properly. Due to the weight and bulk of the rack it would be difficult to store in the car.

I don't think that it is theft-protected. It is very easy to remove from the trunk of the car, if desired, with out opening the trunk at all. I tried and succeeded. If you are worried about the area you live in---I'd take it home for the night, or just remove it and put it into the trunk. This bike rack is easy to install/remove.

I take it off! it's very easy and I want it to be secure. When I leave it on is typically when my bike is on it. The front has rack has the ability to have a padlock keep somebody from removing the bike easily. Usually do this after a race when I am stopping to get something to eat. Although the bike and the rack under these circumstances aren't totally secure, it dissuades somebody from fooling around. Hope this helps. Bob

you could. I guess if your bike doesn't have a center stand it'll work for that. But depending on where you store it if you're afraid of the kids or something knocking the bike over while it's unattended I'd go with a paddock stand.

I use my bike lock chain for extra security. I just tightly wrap it around my tire rim.

I use my bike chain and lock. I keep it on my bike so I can use it for my rack and if I am out riding and need to lock it.

Anyone can steal it if they tried. Just use extra lock tight and make sure it's very snug. You may have the wrong bolt.

I checked with the manufacturer and this is what they wrote back: "There is no security locking feature that comes with the trailer. I think you could unhook the trailer and fasten the trailer frame to the bike frame with a bike surety chain. In this case the trailer would be sitting next to the bike, not behind it "
