Expert Reply:

I have a solution for you, but the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar itself does not lock in any way.

I recommend to anyone purchasing a bike rack to purchase a cable lock for use with the bike rack like the 10' Long Cable Lock, part # e98891, which allows you to link the bikes on the rack together and through the spare tire.

A package like the Swagman Anti-Rattle Hitch-Lock and Cable, part # S64031 can also be useful in improving security. The Hitch Lock and Cable set links a cable through the rear wheel of the bikes to a lock on the hitch itself, helping to deter and prevent theft of the bikes and the rack itself.
