The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # KU84FR comes with a tamper-resistant bolt that tightens the carrier to a 2" receiver and you need to use the included security wrench to remove or install. So it technically does come with some sort of a locking device, but for more security to deter theft you can add Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # HL2. This will do a better job of actually locking the bike rack to the hitch receiver.

Make sure you have a 2" trailer hitch receiver on your 2020 Mazda 3; if you don't then you will want to install EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # EH23VR. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you.
