Does the cargo box lock and is it locked to the rack so someone can't just take the rack and contents?

Yes, the box has a key lock on one side. The hardware that attaches the box to the rail is inside the box, so as long as it is locked the box can't be removed.

Yes, the box itself does lock as well do the two racks. In fact the box stays locked at all times. Therefore the key is always needed to open or close it.

The cargo box does contain a lock - the brackets that afix it to the racks are found inside the box and are therefore secured.

The box does have a lock with keys. There is no lock to the rack. The box secures with screw down type of claws that go around the bars. The fasteners are shoved thru the base in 4 spots of the box around the bars on the rack. It would be easier for someone to break into the box than remove it all together when installed properly.

It has a loop on both top covers for a lock. Once locked, you can not open the box.

Funny you should ask that question. That is exactly what I had in mind when I purchase the bike rack. I thought I could move the cargo box as far to one side as possible giving enough room for the bike rack. It does leave enough room to mount the bike rack but not loaded with a bike on it. It will not do what you are trying to do. In my case it is either the bike or the cargo box but not both. Hope this helps.

There is a lock, but it is to lock the bike the tray. I suppose someone could still steal your bike if they removed the tray / bike combo from the crossbars, but it would be difficult. There is no lock that I saw that locks the tray to the cross bars.

hi - I don't use a lock - this was bought as a storage for toys, so unfortunately I cannot answer your question. The box is awesome quality

Yes. When you flip it in the cargo bed be sure to lock your tailgate. That's what secures it so it can't be stolen.

Hi, the cargo cover snaps into place so it will lock. I am not sure what you mean by legal trunk, but the trunk created by the cover is accessible. Thanks

Same here - slight damage to box, none to rack. But, you need two people...one holds the rack with the wheels next to the floor - not enough to break it but held in place while the other person has to pull from the other side causing the rack supports to pass by one another. Works for us everytime.

A lock can be placed on it, so I believe it is. I have not tried to transport it though.

There is no lock, but the door and the box itself are made with heavy enough material that installing a lock would be fairly simple and secure.

If some one really wanted to get it they could take it off. It would not be hard to drill a hole and use a bolt and lock though. I only install mine when needed. It is very nice to not have cargo moving everywhere.

I bought this Rack and I am VERY DISSAPONTED! The hitch Lock will not work. everytime I turn key, it will only turn so far and it just springs back open. I think the lock is broke! It is ALWAYS OPEN. THen after 20 minutes of messing with it one of the Keys BROKE! Has anyone else had this proble with the lock being open instead of closed when off?

It does not lock bikes to your car. You will have to buy a cable lock to lock your bikes to the rack. You can buy a lock to lock the rack to your car, it fit over the hitch pin.

There is no locking mechanism. It just hangs from two ell brackets that are welded to the rack.

Yes it does lock. My brother is the actual owner and he stores his tools in the truck thanks to this cover.

This trunk does not lock. It is possible however to use a padlock small enough to lock the latch.

You need to open the rack to unscrew it from the rails. So if they are closed and locked they cannot be removed. I love this system.
