It is great in locking up bikes while going into a store or restaurant but not for leaving your bikes unattended for long periods in places where thievery is possible. The Yakima lockup 10 foot cable works very well and the lockup comes with both the lock for the hitch pin and the lock for the cable already keyed the same. The hinge and upper pivot arm still have full range of motion and function as intended. There is still plenty of cable length left to secure each bike to the rack.
The Yakima HitchLock is the complete lockup system for both the bikes as well as the bike rack itself. Some of the straps are tight during the first use but they loosen up and it is very easy to use. This set-up is adequate for securing your bikes while going into a store or restaurant but not for leaving your bikes unattended for long periods in places where thievery is possible. It does include a Hitch Lock, but it's just a locking cap that must fit some hitch pins that have a slotted end that the lock can grab.
