Troubleshooting Replacement Thule Key that Does Not Work on All Lock Cores

Question:

I purchased THEKEYN001 for Jeep Mopar E001 crossbar locks on my vehicle. I was only able to unlock one lock on one of the crossbar locks. However, the key does not fully fit in the other three crossbar locks and wont unlock those locks. Please advise, thank you.

Sometimes when you use a replacement Thule key it does not fully seat the first time it is inserted into the lock core. In those cases you would need to use a hammer to lightly tap it all the way into the core and it will work from there.
