Hey Erin, thanks for reaching out!
In order to lock your bikes to the Benton Platform Rack # B54FR you'll need to use a standard cable lock, and for that I recommend the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 because it has a 10' length so you have enough to wrap around your bikes as well as the rack and your hitch safety chain loops if you'd like.
