Will this product along secure the hitch and the bikes from theft? Or do I need any additional locks?

You will need additional locks. I have a heavy duty chain lock connecting the rack to the car. I also have small tiny locks that lock the sliding arms so they can't just be slid off. I also lock both bikes together if I plan on making any pit stops on the way to where I'm biking.The good news is that I used this rack on my new car for months and have no scratches on my car.

DBuff, I bought this kit, but found that I only needed the threaded(highly recommend) hitch lock to secure the hitch. I additionally bought two padlocks to secure the bike ratchets easily- this also assured me that my bikes stayed cinched down opposed to only using the cable. Hope this helps.

Thus far our bikes have not been stolen or tampered with. The lock doesn't look like much but the cable is thick and gives the impression "don't bother trying to steal these bikes" look.

Not really sure why Swagman doesn't answer these questions... That said, this cable and lock secure, the bikes (frames and wheels) and the rack simultaneously. The cable is readily removable/replaceable and in my opinion, the lock and cable mechanisms are highly functional and of quality construction making them easy to install and remove. The cable also looks neat and appropriate when installed.

You can buy a separate hitch pin that locks that has a key to prevent someone from stealing it. I believe from Yakima. My wife's rack came with the locking hitch pin, but my son's rack did not.

There are no locks or locking devices on the mount. I would suggest using security head bolts or machine screws to mount it with if you are concerned about theft.

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.

don't buy the Master hitch lock. the diameter of the lock is to big for the holes in the bike rack that go though the hitch. I just use the bolt that came with the bike rack, when tightened requires 2 wrenches to remove it from the hitch.

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 there were no locks included. We returned this rack because it didn't seem too stable and were affraid the bike would fall on long car rides. Hope this is helpful.

Not really. I have a lock on the tow hitch receiver, but you would need a long cable lock for that. I cable the bikes together if I need to lock, but with a single bike wouldn't work. I only go to restaurants or short errands if I have bikes on the back. I would never leave them on overnight.

Overall I like the rack, but I am not convinced that the lock will deter a determined thief.

Not sure what you are asking. The lock comes with two different sized bars to fit the usual-sized inserts. All you have to do is determine the size of the insert for your hitch.

It doesn't include the trailer hitch, but it does include the bike locks for each bike.

The pin we use for the bike hitch and other receivers has a lock that is opened with a key. You'll want to keep it clean and lubricated. Google has a variety of options. Amazon lists this one along with several others. just ask for hitch pin with a key as you use your search engine or amazon.: 1/2" Key-Locking Hitch Pin for 1-1/4" Class I/II Hitch Receivers

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.

Yes. Comes with a lock for both bike cables to secure bike to carrier and a lock to secure the carrier to the hitch.
