Yakima has made the Dead Lock as a complete locking system for the current hitch-mounted racks. Keep your bikes safe while you eat dinner after a long ride.
The DeadLock set will allow you to replace the hitch pin at the receiver with the included hitch lock. You also get the locking cable in this set that secures your bikes to the rack. Together, this complete set will allow you to lock your bikes to your rack, and lock your rack to your vehicle at the hitch...Genius!
If you want to stop for waffles on your way to go riding, lock your bike directly to your Yakima hitch rack and your rack to the car and enjoy peace of mind along with your short stack.
The Yakima Deadlock is a must-have hitch mounting rack accessory. With one key, you can securely lock your bikes to your rack, and your rack to your vehicle. The Deadlock locks the furthest bike on the arms of your rack. With this bike locked, it's impossible to remove the inner bikes or the rack itself. Protect your investments!

Great bike security when travelling | |
| Rating: |  |
| Great security solution. Previous comment speaks to not making it to the inside, the product is designed to lock the outermost bike and it is near impossible to free one of the inner bikes without removing it. Therefore, if carrying one bike on the 4 bike carrier, it should be locked in the furthest position. This is a little awkward, but not too bad. BIG ISSUE: it has to be physically locked to catch, if you unlock it and pull the key out you can't just press it on and have it lock. You have to insert the key and physically relock it. This is less an issue for the cable than for the hitch pin lock, which feels like it's on but isn't locked down so vibrates away driving down the road. Due to personal lack of focus (duh), I've lost two of the hitch locks. | |

| Although this product isn't anything super high tech or fancy, it does give me peace knowing that our bikes/bike rack is not getting stolen in the middle of the night or during the day when we're not around. A cord pulls out from one of the rack arms so that you can wrap it around one or two bikes and then lock it in place. If you have only one bike in the first position of the rack (closest to the vehicle), I'm not sure if the cord is long enough to wrap around that far. You would probably have to move your bike to a position further from your car. | |

Yakima Lock-kit | |
| Rating: | |
The lock kit is a generally good piece of gear. I like the fact that both locks are keyed to the same keys, and its compact storage. I dislike the fact that it really only secures the last bike on the rack. If you have only one bike on the rack, it has to go in the farthest position. A bit more length on the lock chain would have been nice. | |

pretty good overall | |

| Great product overall. Far better solution & much cheaper than anything from Thule. Would be helpful if the cable was longer since it won't reach the first position if carrying only 1 bike. The hitch lock doesn't stay in place at all, and will flip/spin around when driving. A bit annoying, but it won't damage a hitch. | |

| The Deadlock is an absolute must if you are buying a Yakima Hitchrack if you are not, it would still make a great conversation piece for the coffee table. It integrates perfectly into the rack, is easy to operate, and stows-away when not in use. The included hitchpin lock is keyed the same and works great. | |

GREAT lock BUT you can cut through the cable with ordinary bolt cutters, no problem. But its a perfect fit for the rack. As we all know if a thief really wants the bikes they will get them anyway. | |

| I didn't have to worry about the bikes being stolen when I stopped for the evening. Or the hitch being removed from my car. | |

Yakima ski saddle/bike hitch | |

I am very please with the rack itself, however, in order to fully secure the yakima hitch and rack mounts, both ski and bike it creates a problem. | |
