Question:

Can the ARB quick release be locked so the awning is not stolen just by lifting the awning off.

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.

Hey Richard, were you able to come up with a good way to secure your awning using a cable lock or another method? Knowing what worked could help others looking to protect their setup too.
