Does the cargo box lock and is it locked to the rack so someone can't just take the rack and contents?

Yes, the box has a key lock on one side. The hardware that attaches the box to the rail is inside the box, so as long as it is locked the box can't be removed.

Yes, the box itself does lock as well do the two racks. In fact the box stays locked at all times. Therefore the key is always needed to open or close it.

The cargo box does contain a lock - the brackets that afix it to the racks are found inside the box and are therefore secured.

The box does have a lock with keys. There is no lock to the rack. The box secures with screw down type of claws that go around the bars. The fasteners are shoved thru the base in 4 spots of the box around the bars on the rack. It would be easier for someone to break into the box than remove it all together when installed properly.

It doesn't have a lock, per se, but it locks in place so that nothing falls out, even if you shake it while holding it upside down. The lip of each compartment extends out a little so you can just push it up from underneath the lip. It's really simple, and I probably just made it sound more confusing than it really is. It's a great organizer and is incredibly durable: we've taken it on our trips with our boys' vitamins and it has held up to years of use. I hope this helps. :)

if I remembered it correctly, the box suppose to be open and the key is taped inside the rack. I bought it long time ago. Please check with somebody who bought it recently.

it has the standard hitch lock ability ,master lock or some other hitch lock . If someone wanted to steal it there isn't much you can do about it . I use a bike lock and chain and lock it to a lamppost , tree or something if I'm leaving it overnight in an area I don't trust.

hi - I don't use a lock - this was bought as a storage for toys, so unfortunately I cannot answer your question. The box is awesome quality

Yes. This mailbox locks. It has a flap top with a key under the top that you see. You can choose to lock it or not. I only lock mine if I go out of town. This mailbox is big and holds small packages as well.

The lock is for the lid, which only covers the top section. The sides and drawers open freely. But it's not like it's really secure, regardless. Would only stop a child from gaining access. It is a pretty nice jewelry box, though.

I believe the zippers are close enough to one another that you could lock it with a tiny luggage sized lock. But I got rid of the rack so I can't say for sure.

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.)

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.

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

I have a cable that I place around both bikes and the bike rack and attach it to the car with a lock. When the bikes are off the rack, the cable secures the rack. It could still be stolen, but somebody would have to work at it. Most crooks just want a snatch and grab.

I double checked since some of the responses conflict.... there is a small plastic loop on the box and lid that a small lock can be slipped through... but the plastic could probably be easily cut through, so don't plan on it being secure.

Not sure what you are asking for sure. The pin that holds the rack to the hitch is threaded so it would take quite a bit to take the rack, as for the bike, I don't think there is a way to lock it to the rack. I love the rack, but never leave my bike on it for any length of time unattended.

There is now way to lock it up. The box is made out of a high quality plastic that seems like it is built to last, but unfortunately you can lock them. It would have bben nice for them to put lip on the box with a whole for a manterlock. The box holds everything securely though.

It does not lock bikes to your car. You will have to buy a cable lock to lock your bikes to the rack. You can buy a lock to lock the rack to your car, it fit over the hitch pin.

No, you can't lock this one at all. The straps are the only thing that secures this rack to the tire.
