Since your Yakima Space Cadet is locked there are 2 options for you. If you know what your old key number was you can order a replacement key from us. You can simply search the key number, like A144, in our search bar and it will bring up both the replacement lock core and the replacement key, which for A144 is part # Y8771-A144 and part # Y8772-A144 respectively.

If you cannot remember what the number on your key was then you will need to contact a locksmith to come and drill out the lock for for you. My contact at Yakima said that the locksmith will need the control key to get the lock core out and you will need one to install the new lock core. After removing the lock you can install a replacement lock core kit like part # Y07202 to replace your lock. This comes with the control key needed to remove your previous lock core.

Please note that the Yakima lock cores can only be removed with the control key if they are unlocked.
