Comments about Yakima DeadLock:
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.

Comments about Yakima DeadLock:
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.
