Hello Richard. The Quick Release Awning Bracket for ARB Base Platform Racks # ARB38ZR do not have any kind of locking mechanism. The only thing I can think of is maybe take a cable lock of some kind and see if you can thread it thru the back of the bracket and thru the platform base. Since there is no lock made for this, you would have to get creative in finding a way to lock it up.
