Lock Core Kit Recommendation for Use with Yakima Jaylow Kayak Carrier

Question:

I plan to buy a Yakima JayLow kayak carrier #8004073. Will any Yakima lock cores/key set work? Or do I need to have a specific model number? Im a bit confused that there are different ones, but Im thinking that thats intentional,... making it harder for someone to steal. Your thoughts please? Thank you so much!

Any SKS lock core would technically fit the Yakima Jaylow Kayak Carrier part # Y04073 but we have a kit that comes with two cores that would work well as the part # Y07202. This will give you a pair of cores that match but aren't going to be the same pair every person would get if they ordered it.

Where on the JayLow kayak carrier do you install an SKS lock? Also, I have SKS locks on my Yakima Roof Rack, which has a key number. Can I get the same key number for SKS locks on my kayak carrier?

The lock core will install on the JayLow # Y04073 on the front face of the carrier just past the loading ramp piece. You can definitely install the same lock core that you have on your roof rack so that you just have to use 1 key to lock and unlock everything. If you let me know your key number I can let you know what lock core you need.
