I will be purchasing new end caps with the steel core locks. but for the legs, I will just be buying the steel core locks to replace the plastic one. could help me find what product code or part number should I buy for the legs steel core locks. Hope to hear from you soon. Regards,

In order to add metal lock cores to your Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars like part # RRVA126B-2 you will want to use the Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRVA-LEC4. Now, I do not know what mounting feet you have but you should be able to use the Rhino-Rack Masterkey Lock Barrels like part # RRRK005-4. If you ordered the crossbar and mounting feet locks together then they should come with the same lock cores but if not you would want to match the lock core numbers on the crossbars to the Masterkey set. Just enter RRRK###-4 into the search bar.
