Older Yakima RocketBox Compatibility with SKS Locks
Question:
Thanks for the reply. Here is a pic of the latching mechanism. Can I swap out the inner part with the SKS cylinder? Thanks

The Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black # Y07192 has the nice push button latch with SKS system you are referring to, but unfortunately there is not a retrofit for the older boxes.
To lock your box, I recommend the Replacement Lock Core and Key for SportRack Explorer Cargo Box # SR03807 along with the Replacement Bottom Lock Bracket # SR00841 and Replacement Lock Locator # TH03808. This will require a slightly different mounting but will also give you the security you are missing.
