Hey Geoff, welcome back. The Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier item # Y72VR should've come with a locking hitch pin, two keys, and two lock cores that go in the end of the knobs like the picture below. If you got some extra locks then go ahead and hold onto them or use them in another Yakima accessory. The locks on the knobs keep the GearWarrior Rack from walking away so you'll definitely want to use those.
