Question:
Hello! I see that the Thule outway platform short arm does not come with a lock and key. Does it come with a knob that I can install my own lock into, or is it a knob with no spot for a lock?

Hey Jon, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, the Replacement Short Bike Arm # TH68JH has a spot where you can install the lock core from your old control knob so your bike rack is still all keyed alike.
You'll need a Control Key in order to move the lock core and for whatever reason Thule doesn't include it with this arm or have it available on it's own so you'll need the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450200 which comes with the Control Key, 2 lock cores, and 2 more keys.
