From your recent searches, it looks like you are looking at the Malone FoldAway 5 # MAL38FR and the J-Pro2 # MPG117MD kayak carriers. For these carries, while Malone does not make locks for these carriers, the best way to lock these to your roof rack is by using the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891. With the cable lock, you can thread it through both cradles and wrap them around your crossbars on the roof. If you plan on transporting 2 kayaks, I recommend going with the FoldAway 5 over the J-Pro-2.

I also noticed you inputted a 2016 Mazda CX-5 on our fitguide. If you are looking for a great compatible roof rack for this vehicle, I the parts you need depend on if you have a bare roof or raised factory rails.

If you have a bare roof, I recommend the following:

- Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" # INB127
- Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INSUT
- Inno Custom Fit Kit # INK758

If you have raised rails, I recommend going with the Malone AirFlow2 - 58" # MPG216.

Both of these crossbar systems not only can accommodate the FoldAway 5 or the J-Pro2 on your Mazda CX-5, the roof racks are super affordable. I went ahead and attached some videos that walk you through the products.
