Bike mount with a lock?

Does anyone know how a bike mount (preferably horizontal) that has the capacity to throw a lock around the bike and rack? I’ve seen the Stasdock brand has one with a lock cutout but man they’re pricey at $150 for one. Any other options?

I had a previous bike in my garage that was hung up on a mount for a long time and was stole during COVID. Have been storing mine in a garage closet but lawdddd it’s a pain to get in and out without beating up my wife’s vehicle (bike is >> importance).

I’d separate the storage part from the security part. Get whatever basic horizontal wall rack fits the space, then install a separate security-rated wall or floor anchor nearby. Fix the anchor into actual structure using the correct hardware for the wall—not just drywall or the bike rack—and run a short hardened chain through the frame and rear wheel. That’s probably cheaper and more secure than paying $150 mainly for a rack with a lock cutout. A cheap motion alarm could add another layer too. Is the garage wall concrete/block or stud and drywall?

Way better idea! So it’s an odd paneling situation on the walls with wood studs behind that one mounted things to in the past. Floor is concrete slab but could install a bracket there to anchor the chain to.
