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. Basically you'll need something that can go through the frames of all 4 bikes and then be secured on a point that isn't removable like the safety chain loop on your trailer hitch. 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 the cable.
You could always use simple tie-downs like the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie Downs part # SR54FR to secure any extra cable.
Attached are review videos of both products for you to check out.
