Does anyone know if the cable lock can be purchased separately? My 9027 rack did not come with the cable lock.

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

I am not sure. Mine came with the cable lock. It pulls out of the top of the rack.

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

It comes with a housing for the lock on the cable-type lock, but you must buy the SKS (same key system) lock separately. The wing-nut that's used to tighten the mounting bolt on the rear bar can be replaced with an SKS lock housing and lock, and once installed and locked, the rack can't be removed from the bars--a wise investment since the cable lock could be cut fairly easily with wire-cutters. I'd recommend a good chain or U-lock for the bike, as well, for the same reason.

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.

It does not come with a bike lock but you can buy one as an add on. I already had a long cable lock and wrapped it around the post and and all bikes.

Not this model, you'd have to get a separate lock to able to secure bikes or the rack itself. The RS model does have locks however, it might be worth checking that one out.

I had to use master locks, small ones with the larger extended metal piece on top. They are still a tight fit. Might be your best bet to go with a cable lock of some kind.

Good day, yes the 963PRO includes an integrated locking cable. The instructions outline the location and usage of the locking cable, as it is deigned to be low profile, and is sometimes overlooked. Thank you and have a great day!

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.

OK a 'locking pin won't work unless you drill out the treaded insert on the bike rack. Actually this rack comes with a treaded pin that uses a 3/4 inch wrench. Rack theves will have to have a wrench, so no lock is nessary unless the theif's has a wrench. save the money no "lock" is nessary.

The bar itself has a locking mechanism but the bike mounts do not. Although, you can order locking bike mounts separately that should work with this rack.

No, it does not. I use a MasterLock cable to lock the bike to the car and a hitch lock to lock the rack to the car. Both can be bought on Amazon.

Yes, it came with both. The security cable is really long, enough for 4 bikes easily. Locking pin works grt. I love this unit and have had no problems with it at all. So easy to use, I keep it on all the time.

There is an adapter designed for the Topeak rack. It is designed to slide and lock into the rack. Sorry

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.

Yes you should have a lock to secure your bikes. If you dont use a locking hitch pin than anyone with vise grip pliers or some crescent wrenches can remove the rack (and your bikes if on the rack.)
