Adding a Bike Lock to a Thule Hitch Bike Rack Without Integrated Bike Locks

Updated 08/18/2017 | Published 08/16/2017

Question:

Can you add a lock to the arm of a thule hitch mount bike rack that does not have one? The end caps do come off, if so what parts do you need?

Thule racks cannot have integrated cable locks added onto the rack.

Instead, you'll need to use a cable lock like the 10' Long Cable Lock, part # e98891, to secure your bikes and rack together to the hitch's safety loop, improving the security of the rack and deterring theft.
