You can see the red safety latch that connects the Add-ons together and the blue push-button barrel lock that protects it from being removed.
The same lock and key are used to lock the rack into the hitch.
You will receive 2 keys with the Mach2 hitch rack. If you purchase more Add-ons later down the road, we can look up what variation of lock you already have and match it to your existing keys. Additional keys can also be purchased.

If you choose to ALWAYS use a cable, you could get by with one lock.
We are currently selling this to fulfilled customers only, in the order of the production queue, and then will open it up to the general public.
