Helpful Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Swagman about the Swagman XC # S64650 and she said that the holes in the arm hook assembles actually is not for a padlock. The holes are what they use to hang those parts of the arms on when they are putting products on those pieces.
Instead of padlocks you need to use the Cable # S2005 which fits the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin # S64029. If you don't already have the threaded hitch pin you can purchase both of these with part # S64031.
