• Yakima FatCat Evo 6 Ski Carrier Will Not Release Keys When Locked
  Yakima's FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier, item # Y03096 use the same Yakima SKS lock cores which are shown on the linked page. These are intended to allow removal of the key when the lock is in the locked position. My Yakima contact recommended trying to remove the key from the locks with the carrier closed but NOT ratcheted down as far as it will go, in other words with less tension on the closure. She said that sometimes the tension from the carrier being ratcheted down all the...

• Gaining Access to Yakima SkyBox with Broken Key Stuck Inside Lock Core
  Your best option for replacing the SuperLatch Handle Assemblies # Y8880348 on your Yakima SkyBox will be to try and remove that broken key. What I recommend doing is purchasing a key extractor from a local hardware store. These small and inexpensive metal tools/hooks can be used to fish out the metal key piece that's stuck inside the core. Once you have the key removed it's just a matter of obtaining a replacement so you can unlock the box and replace the latches if needed. If you can...

• Yakima Skybox Will Not Open on One Side
  It is very difficult to diagnose what the issue may be without knowing a model number and seeing photos but it sounds like the latch on the locking mechanism on your RocketBox may have somehow been damaged. I would need to know the model number in order to get you any type of replacement parts but if you have a Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07334, for example, the replacement latch is the Replacement SuperLatch Handle Assemblies # Y8880348. I can't guarantee it but I would be willing...

• How To Open a Closed Yakima SkyBox With Latch Removed
  If you have a newer Yakima SkyBox NX 16 like part # Y95AV then you should be able to just open the box from the other side. That said, there really isn't a good way to go about opening this without the latch installed. If you like you can try to manipulate the mechanism inside with some sort of pick but I spoke with Yakima and that stated that if you were to purchase the Replacement SuperLatch Handle Assemblies part # Y8880348, you could most likely line these up with the mechanism inside...

• Troubleshooting Yakima Lock Core that Won't Accept Key
  If the lock core is not accepting the key the problem lies with it and not the latch like part # Y8880348. If you can get the flap of the core to slide up you would want to use a spray lubricant like WD-40 and use the straw of it to direct the lubricant into the lock core. Let the core sit for a few minutes and try again. After doing this a couple time it should free up the lock core and allow the key to slide in. If it still doesn't want to turn you would want to insert the key several...

• Broken Handles on Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box
  I wish there was a trick to opening the Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337 with the handles broken off, but there is nothing that is feasible; you can try using a Channel Lock but it doesn't seem likely you can do it without damaging the box. Your best option is to drill out the assemblies and then replace them with the Replacement SuperLatch Handle Assemblies # Y8880348.

• Opening Handle On Yakima SkyBox 16 With The Key Cylinder Removed and The Handle Wont Open
  With the lock cylinder removed you will be able to see the hole that the lock protrudes into. This piece should move inside the handle to allow that locking mechanism to either lock the handle or release the handle. If it will not move you may try some WD40 on the mechanism to see if it will break free and allow you to open the handle. If the mechanism spins freely with no resistance it is likely that it is damaged and not engaging the lock properly. If this is the case you will have...

• Replacement Lid Supports for the Yakima Skybox 21
  The Yakima Skybox 21 part # Y07337 made from 2014 to present has a much more aerodynamic shaped lid than the Yakima Skybox 21 part Y07184 made from 2009 to 2014 had. I have attached a photo of each so you can see the difference. If you have the 09-14 box then you will want to use part # 8880684 for the front lid support and part # 8880683 for the rear lid support. If you have the 14+ box then you will want to use part # 8880683 for the rear lid support. In order to replacing the locking...

• Replacement Handles for Yakima SkyBox Pro Cargo Box
  I may have a solution for you, but the photos you provided don't shed any light on what you've got. I'll start off by saying that the Sky Box series of cargo boxes made before 2009 cannot have the handles replaced; these are an "S" shaped handle, so if your box has those there is not a replacement part. However, if your box is newer than that it would have used the SuperLatch style handles, which can be replaced with the Replacement SuperLatch Handles for Yakima SkyBox Cargo Boxes - Qty...

• Troubleshooting Stuck Lock Cylinder of Yakima Skybox Cargo Box 16
  You've tried what we normally recommend by spraying a penetrating oil into the lock cylinder but what you can in addition to that try is to spray the oil into the lock and then work the key in an out several times as that sometimes can free up the tumblers of the lock. Sometimes a few rounds of this with several minutes between them can eventually get it to free up.

• How To Repair Yakima SkyBox Rooftop Cargo Box With Key Broken Off In Lock
  I spoke with my Yakima representative, who tells me that your best bet would be to get the remaining piece of the key out of the lock if at all possible. To do this, you'll need some spray lubricant like PB blaster or WD-40 and a small tool like a dental pick and some fine needle nose pliers. First, thoroughly saturate the lock with the spray. Then use the dental pick to work around the serrated edge of the key, pulling gently outward. Once you get enough of the key extricated, you can...

• Availability of Replacement Handle Assembly for Yakima SkyBox 12
  Per Yakima, the individual part you're speaking of isn't available as an individual replacement part. You'll need to replace the handle assembly. If your SkyBox 12 is of recent manufacture (from 2010 to present), a replacement handle assembly is available as part # Y8880348. The lock core is not included, so you'll need to use your existing lock core. If your SkyBox 12 is older, I can try to find a replacement if you can send me the actual part number of the box you have.
