Does it lock the bike and the rack to the car?

No, it does not. I use a MasterLock cable to lock the bike to the car and a hitch lock to lock the rack to the car. Both can be bought on Amazon.

Personally I wouldn't be concerned with someone wanting to steal a bike rack because they wouldn't assume it fit their car unless it was the exact same car as yours. But yes, I feel that the lock is secure, it only locks one set of the cables, I suppose someone could cut the cables but then the rack would be completely useless. If you wanted to store it inside your car it would fit in the back seat of a sedan without any problems. The dimensions might make it difficult to put it inside some trunks. We've taken week long trips across several states, staying at hotels and never worried about the security of the rack but would take the bikes inside overnight.

The rack itself has a mechanism to lock the bikes in place, but we also used bungee cords. Those were used to lock the wheels in place and prevent them from spinning or angling while we were driving. We used a total of two bungees to lock in 3 bikes.

It has no lock on it. It clips on to your bike's rear rack. But it is quite difficult to remove once on the clips are stiff, and you could run a cable through the handle to prevent theft.

not to lock the bikes to the rack but it does have a locking pin to keep it locked onto your car

No, there are no locks. You would have to use your own bike lock to keep it from "wandering off" while you were away from your vehicle.

No. The way it works, you turn the knob at the base till it expands within the hitch receiver making the rack very sturdy. Once it is tight enough, you then use the provided Yakima key to lock the hitch to the hitch receiver. So I just leave my rack on all the time. I actually really like my rack :)

Hello,no it can not. The bike does lock to the bike rack, but the bike rack does not lock to the car roof racks. Hope this helps.

No, It locks around the existing bike parts with a mechanism similar to a vice.

No, there is no built in system to lock bikes to the rack itself. The rack has a clever system for locking itself into the hitch so it cannot be stolen.

The arm and rack both have locks, they are more of a deterrent a prevention. So yes, but if it is on the roof it would take quite a while to do that. You can always use cable lock and lock the bike to the roof rails.

Yes, the rack comes with locks to lock the bikes to the mounts as well as the rack to the hitch. The trailer hitch, of course, is not included.

It does not lock to the bike or lock closed. I have not been able to find a way to lock it on either. It comes off easy enough to take it off and carry it with you when you leave the bike.

Not sure what you are asking for sure. The pin that holds the rack to the hitch is threaded so it would take quite a bit to take the rack, as for the bike, I don't think there is a way to lock it to the rack. I love the rack, but never leave my bike on it for any length of time unattended.

yes. Buy a locking hitch pin with a cable. The rack is handy because of the price and stores away in the car easily. It does stick out quite a bit so you need to be careful backing up.

no the wheels do not lock. but the rack will not roll away with or without clothing on the rack... its very sturdy as well. and its very space accomidating. its a definately good item to purchase.
