Does Swagman Dispatch Have Locks For Bikes
The only lock that comes with the Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack # S44FR is a hitch lock for the rack itself in the receiver.

Bike Rack Recommendation for Bikes With Front Fenders
We have some very high-quality bike racks similar to the Kuat Sherpa that will work with bikes that have fenders, but because the Sherpa is a wheel-mounted bike rack, the ratcheting hooks will interfere with the front fenders and you won't be able to mount that type of bike. So instead what you need is a bike rack that is a frame-mounted rack. For a bike rack that will work on a bike with fenders (see accompanying photo) I highly recommend the Saris Freedom 2-Bike Rack # SA4412B, because...

How to Install ToyLok Mounted Retractable Cable Lock to 4x4 Bumper on 2020 Alpha Wolf
The U-Bolt mounting kit that comes with the ToyLok ATV/UTV Mounted Retractable Cable Lock # LC337120-337114 can be found separately as part # LC337114. To mount this to your bumper you'll have to get a bit creative because the U-Bolts are designed to fit 3/4" - 1" ATV-UTV racks so there is no way that they will wrap around your 4" square bumper if that's what you had in mind.

Replacement Locking Cable for Thule Ridgeline Bike Rack

Can Lippert ToyLok Retractable Cable Lock be Opened at the Seam
I reached out to my contact at Lippert and he said that you would pry it open at the seam but the problem is once it's been opened it will be that much easier for someone to break back into it so you'll be better off getting a while new unit, part # LC337120. If you'd rather avoid going this route then we have the Fulton 15' Cable Lock # FCLK150100 that I recommend picking up. It doesn't have a retractable feature but it gives you as much cable as you were getting with the ToyLok.

Recommended Cable Lock for the Reese Explore 4 Bike Rack
I recommend using the etrailer 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891 to lock your bikes to the Reese Explore 4 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches # 63124.

The 10' of cable might seem a little excessive but sometimes it can feel like a puzzle getting the cable routed just right and this will make it easier on where you can route...

Best Lock For B&W 5th Wheel Hitch Head
While there isn't a replacement pin lock or padlock that will work, B&W has told us the best way to lock the hitch head is by using a cable lock.

The lock is also heavy-duty, made with 5/16" diameter braided steel designed specifically...

How is the Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack Secured in the Vehicle's Receiver Hitch
The Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack, # Y02466, uses the SpeedKnob locking system to secure the rack into the vehicle's receiver hitch.

Availability of a 3/4-Inch Thick 10-Foot Cable Lock
