Finding Lock Number on Thule and Yakima Lock Cores
Question:
What if the lock doesnt have a number on the side of it? Its blank on mine.
asked by: Jim P
Expert Reply:
What brand equipment did the lock core come from, Thule or Yakima? A Thule lock has the lock number engraved onto the face of the lock, next to the key slot. The number will usually be preceded by the letter N. A Yakima lock has the number stamped onto the side of the cylinder, and would usually begin with the letter A.
Without a lock number, we would have no way of matching up a replacement key. If the Yakima or Thule lock cylinder is damaged so the number can't be read, you'd need to have a locksmith carefully remove the lock core, then you'd replace it.
I've edited a photo for you showing where the lock number are located on a Thule and a Yakima lock core.
