I am considering to install also. Either rack or the box.

What's your reason to install? What car?

the rack and roofbox are 2 separate accessories.. for the cheap one, the rack roughly rm400+.. and cheap roofbox roughly rm600+. for branded one, usually a thule brand, the rack itself 1k+ and roofbox also 1.5k+. The branded one are lighter and also easier to mount/dismount and easier to lock. Besides, if you want to add a bicycle holder, that's also different accessories.. not sure how much, but not that cheap also..

All roofbox has locks. Once you lock the roofbox, it cannot be removed/dismout from the rack already.
As for the rack itself, some rack has no lock. For thule brand, The lock for the rack is different accessories. Thule really knows how to make money.. haha..
