Does it lock to the crossbars to prevent theft?

Yes, indirectly, there are 2 clams under each rack that bolts onto the cross bars. The screws that tightens the clams is accessible thru open slots on the rubber gaskets that the skis rest on. The screws/slots can only be accessed when the racks are fully flipped open. Therefore, once you lock the rack down, these screws cannot be accessed. If you have round cross bars, make sure they are tighten enough to your car roof rails so that when the ski racks are installed , the cross bars do not slip n spin.

They do not lock. The bolts are hidden when they are in place and the skis or boards are on them.

It doesn't lock, but it does stay open. It's very thin - not much throughput.

It is everything you see... crossbars are permanently in the roof mounts. Your roof should have four blsck clips thay can be popped open in the roof rail. Crossbar mounts set over the top and accompanying screw screw rack down. Comes with instructions and simple tools.

Yes, it will lock the rack to the crossbar. You cannot remove the rack without first removing the skewer.

Yes. I attached the locking device to the window trim right above the lower moving window and it appears to hold it securely in place. Guess you could add one to both sides for even more security, but one seems to do the trick. So far, we are very happy with these locks!

Yes, It locks in the up and down position. There are two safety clips on the release bar that must be moved before you can press the release bar

Yes it does lock. My brother is the actual owner and he stores his tools in the truck thanks to this cover.

Just saw Caesar's answer..I bought this for my son and he has never had it lock. Back when out..something he told me he wished it did. 5hat was the basis of my original answer

I'm assuming you're talking about the crossbars that connect the left rail to the right rail. It does. They are the parts that stow away. One of the crossbars is already attached to one of the rails and the other one has to be attached during mounting. Very simple install.

I don't believe they lock, but they are removable. I remember having to install them.

Both prior answers are correct. With no tools, no. With some tools and depending on your bar spacing yes. This isn't really a security lock, just something to keep your gate from swinging in the wind and it self "locks" in case you forget or don't have a hand free to latch it.

No, there is no built in system to lock bikes to the rack itself. The rack has a clever system for locking itself into the hitch so it cannot be stolen.

The arm and rack both have locks, they are more of a deterrent a prevention. So yes, but if it is on the roof it would take quite a while to do that. You can always use cable lock and lock the bike to the roof rails.

Not really locked, it's more of a detent. It works well either angled or straight.

No it just has a snap. There is no way to lock it. But still it is a very good product, period.

As far as actually locking no. it does have a built in detent that will hold it in either position.

Mine is suppose to lock but does not. Do not buy if you are looking for security.
