Gear up with Malone cable locks when you want simple, solid security for bikes, kayaks, or a trailer load. Flexible, smooth-coated cable feeds easily through frames, scupper holes, or eyes, and the lock works smoothly with an easy-insert key. Long runs can loop multiple bikes or route from a rack to the hitch safety chain loops for a tough, hard-to-cut deterrent.
Yes, use a cable lock to loop the rack to the safety chain loops on the hitch. Check that you can pass the cable or cable end through your rack's eyelets or a suitable opening. Confirm you have a solid anchor point on the vehicle, like the safety chain loops, for a stable lockup.
Choose a length that can route through your frames and an anchor point. 8 feet is just the right length to secure a bike to a bike rack and hitch, and it can be long enough to rope through 4 bikes. For kayaks, make sure it's plenty long for locking a kayak, including threading through scupper holes if that's your plan. Measure your path to confirm before you buy.
They feel well made and solid, with locks that operate smoothly and keys that are easy to insert. The cable is flexible with a smooth plastic coating that feeds easily through holes and eyes. It seems tough and should be hard to cut, adding an extra deterrent for bikes, kayaks, canoes, and trailers.
Confirm the end style you need; some versions may lack a loop, which can work better in certain setups. If you're replacing lost keys on a Malone bike carrier, replacement keys aren't offered; replace the lock assembly instead and match it to 1" or 1-1/4" diameter tubing. Verify the cable end will fit through your rack or anchor points.
