Universal Change Key for New Thule Locks with No Serial Numbers - TH42BJ

Average Customer Rating:  4.9 out of 5 stars   (196 Customer Reviews)

Remove your unlocked Thule lock with this master key and replace it with a Thule One Key System lock (sold separately) to make all your Thule locks keyed alike.

I was a little suspicious if this would work but I was able to remove the cylinders easily.



by:

I’m giving it a one star rating because the product I purchased does not work. After buying a whole new arm unit for my Easy Fold I had to also buy a key to take the lock out of the knob that has stripped threads but it will not fit into the knob of the new arm that was purchased. I have sent videos of what the problem is: the lock is longer than the space in the knob. The answer was to send me a new lock with a key that is exactly the same size as the one that doesn’t work. So I still don’t have the ability to lock two bikes on my rack. I paid about $xxx and the problem is still not solved and it appears that I’m going to have to spend even more money in order to use my very expensive bike rack!

etrailer made it easy to get a universal key to change out the lock cores in my cartop case and provided the instructions on how to do it. Thanks so much!



by:

Superb racks. Installed the recommended way. I probably don’t even need the locking system though I have it. ...... very happy with all



by:

No hassle, delivered in time and exactly what I needed. Very large inventory and let me know when the product shipped. Highly recommend.



by:

Just what I needed to replace my Thule locks. Push the key in, then pull the lock out. Of course, this will only work if the lock is in the unlocked position. BTW, my Thule locks are around 15 years old, and fortunately, Thule has standardized on this, so I was able to take the locks out of old bike trays and put them in new trays. And last but not least, etrailer has this at a good price and shipped it to me right away.



by:

Picked up a used Thule bicycle rack for my truck but it was missing a couple of locks. This "key" let's remove/install the locks. Works great, still have it.

etrailer has been awesome to purchase from. They always seem to go above and beyond!



by:

Excellent service and product



by:

I have purchased replacement keys before. When I had to change a lock this was the kit. Arrived very quickly with simple instructions.



by:

General comment. The short arm did not come with a key and cylinder which I was expecting. The two attached videos did show a key and suggested purchasing a Master Key, which I did. I misunderstood that the master key was for a one key lock system. My fault. But i did expect that the new arm would come with a new key. Therefore I switched out the locking knob from my damaged arm and it does what it should and the original key works in all locks on the rack. Service was great and the part was delivered quickly.



by:

Precisely as advertised, thank you!



by:

Love that etraer has all of the random spare parts I need and sells them individually. No exception here. Just needed the lock core insert key. Can always count on trailer.



by:

I had lost the original lock for my Thule hitch pin. I thought I would have or buy a whole new one. I called etrailer and talked to Tommy. He was able to set me up with this replacement lock. While we talked he also set me up with extra keyed alike cylinders so I can get all my Thule stuff on 1key. If you are having trouble don't hesitate to give them a call.



by:

This key works like it should. It makes it so you can change out lock cylinders for Thule racks. You of course have to have the correct keys for the locks you want to move or replace so don't think this key will let you unlock all the Thule locks. Works great.



by:

I lost the Thule Snug Tite lock for my hitch-mounted bike rack. Buying the cylinder that went with the key I already had, plus the housing and the universal change key, and I was all set again, for about half the price of buying the full lock from Thule! Works great!

  • Do You Carry Keys for My Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack?
    I have a solution for you. If you need replacement keys for the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202, the only way to get the exact replacement you need is by providing the 4-character code on the lock core. If you do not have access to the core, the only other option is to replace the cores completely. For new lock cores, I recommend the Thule One-Key System Cylinders # TH450200. With these cores, you will be able to switch out the old ones and have keys for the new ones.

  • Replacement Lock Core and Key Suggestion For Unknown Lock Core On A Thule Spare Me Bike Rack

  • Does Thule EasyFold XT Replacement Long Arm Assembly Come With Lock in Knob
    A lock does not come included in the knob of the Replacement Long Arm Assembly for Thule EasyFold XT Electric Bike Rack # 1500052414. If you want a lock you can re-use your old ones, you'll just need to use the Universal Change Key for Thule One Key Locks # 853-1251 if your lock core starts with an "N" or "E" and key number on them, or Universal Change Key for New Thule Locks with No Serial Numbers # TH42BJ if it is one of the newest lock cores with no key number on them.

  • Does the Replacement Long Arm Assembly for Thule EasyFold XT Need a New Lock Core
    I am sorry that a "Customer Review" was misleading. In order for optimal performance of the Replacement Long Arm Assembly for Thule EasyFold XT Electric Bike Rack # 1500052414 you would need a lock core installed. You can use the lock core from your old long arm if it is still operational. You would just need the Universal Change Key # TH42BJ to remove your current unlocked core. If you are needing a new core you would use the Universal Change Key # TH42BJ to install a new lock core like...

  • Key Won't Turn Inside Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box
    If you're having trouble with the locking mechanism on your Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box I recommend using some black graphite powder to see if that helps free the lock. If not, try tapping on the box near the lock housing while simultaneously turning. If worse comes to worse you can replace the lock core using the Replacement Lock Cylinder and Premium Key for Thule One-Key Systems part # TH44ND, you'll also need the Universal Change Key for New Thule Locks with No Serial Numbers part #...
