Question:

We received our Swagman Original bike rack yesterday and I was wondering, can you add a lock to the screw in pin that came with the rack? Thanks

Expert Reply:

You certainly can do that. You would need the Snug-Tite Hitch Receiver Lock, part # THSTL2.

You might also consider a cable lock like part # e98891. The # THSTL2 would replace your existing threaded hitch pin to secure the rack to the vehicle, and a cable lock would secure the bikes to the rack, further deterring theft.

I've linked you to some product demonstration videos. If you'd care to see them, click the provided links.
