Video Transcript for Yakima Same Key System - SKS - Lock Cores Review
Jake: Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima Lock Cores. These are going to be made for your roof rack to be able to lock into your roof. When you buy them from the factory, they're just going to come with plastic lock cores, and it's not going to secure it to your roof while you're not with it. For the example, with our SkyLine Towers, they're very, very easily removable. Just pull back and lift up and your bars are going to be gone.
So by replacing these plastic lock cores with the locking cores, you're not going to have to worry about anyone stealing or tampering with your roof rack. In your kit, you're going to get two keys that are keyed to unlock and lock all of your lock cores, and you're going to get one installation key. This is the key dish we're going to use to push the lock cores into place.To start with, we need to take our flat key and pop our plastic lock cores out. And to get our lock cores into place, we just need to take it, you're going to line it up with this hole. So right here is where you're going to see that little indentation that you're going to stick your lock core into place, where that little knob is going to stick down inside there.
Just push it into place.Now we can take the tip of our finger and hold our lock core and pull our control key out. And we can take one of our two keys that has our notches in it and lock up our bars. And you'll repeat this process for all four of your foot packs. Now, as I said, your kit is going to come with two keys. If you we're to lose them, there are replacement keys available.
On the back there's going to be a letter followed by three numbers. It's a good idea when you first get your kit to write that series of numbers down, so that you know which key is yours, and you can order them here at etrailer.Now, one little helpful piece of advice I'd like to provide you all with is, if you plan on leaving your rack on your vehicle during the winter time or whatever you might be putting your lock cores in, it's a good idea that when winter time is approaching, you spray a little bit of lubricant on the inside of your lock, not only to help your lock work properly, but it's going to prevent any water from building up inside, potentially turning into ice. I had a situation one time where I needed to get into my toolbox for a side job and I couldn't get in because water had gotten into my lock and froze solid, and I couldn't get my key in. But with all that being said, that's going to do it for our look and installation of the Yakima Lock Cores..

Quick Install!
by: Cory G.07/16/2015
Exactly what I needed to eliminate having 3 different Yakima keys. Very easy to install assuming your existing cores are "unlocked" or you don't have locks. I would have gave 5 stars however, I called in and was told that the flat key would remove a locked core - well, it doesn't.. You must go to a locksmith and have them unlocked.. Other than that debacle the SKS worked perfectly and now I have only 1 key!!
by: Rob N.07/14/2017
Product was good once it arrived. However, the site showed all items in stock. I received an email about a month after I ordered, stating they were on back order. I responded stating that it showed in stock and that I would have purchased through another site had I known this. I got a seemingly automated email back that I took as a "sorry not sorry". I received the order over two months later. Terrible customer service. First time I have shopped with etrailer, and obviously my last.

I got these for my Yakima Offgrid cargo basket. Super easy to install. Thanks for the fast shipment.
by: David02/12/2024
I used all 8 for the EXO hitch swing away with two cargo boxes. 6 were easy to replace. The cargo box lock cores have to have the key slot positioned at 1 and 7 o’clock to replace. There’s a YouTube video.
by: Laura 10/19/2023
These lock cores worked perfectly for my Yakima kayak rack. I can use the same key for all the locks and I feel much more secure knowing that someone can't steal my expensive rooftop car rack. So, 5 stars!
by: Thomas 04/03/2024
eTrailer provides excellent after-sale service ... which is the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of making an informed purchasing decision. Well done!
by: Ed09/09/2023
As always I can rely on etrailer to have the items I want at good prices. And the shipping times are excellent. The YAKIMA SKS LockCores are of course just part of a bigger rack system I have been putting together on my 2016 Chevy Colorado. The SKS Locks Cores will secure my other Yakima Accessories. I have found Yakima products to be of high quality & stand up to the elements & abuse.Thank You for great service & products.
by: Adam12/26/2018
Just wanted to say the 4 locks fit and work perfectly. I also ordered a cover plate for the base tower of my Yakima rack, again perfect fit and the new locks will prevent any from popping off in the future. The shipping was fast and free. Also the customer service was amazing. E-Trailer will be my go to in the future.
Thanks.

So easy to swap, thank you for the video links!

- Yakima Locks for Addition to Replacement Awning Clamp Assembly 8880737Yes, Yakima's Replacement Awning Clamp Assembly # 8880737 can be fitted with an SKS Lock Core to make it lockable. For a single core you can use # Y8771-A135, along with matching key # Y8772-A135 and Control Key # Y8007835 which is required for core installation. For a set of 6 matching SKS cores, two standard keys and the Control Key use kit # Y07206.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for a 2019 Mini Cooper Hardtop CoupeI would be happy to help you choose a roof rack for your 2019 Mini Cooper Coupe! If you have the flush mount rails that run from the front to the back of your roof then I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream roof rack system. This consists of the JetStream Bars # Y00425, the RidgeLine Towers # Y00145, and the Fit Kit # Y06009. The aerodynamic design of the JetStream bars will help to reduce wind noise and drag while the aluminum construction keeps them from rusting. This roof rack...
view full answer... - What Roof Rack Fits My 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Sky One Touch Roof?I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Rhino-Rack that the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - Gutter Mount - 8-1/4inch Tall # RL210S2 and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2 are not confirmed to fit your 2019 Jeep Wrangler 4-door Unlimited with a Sky One Touch roof. However, we currently do have a confirmed setup that will work from Yakima. For that system, I recommend the following parts for your vehicle: - Round CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack - 58"...
view full answer... - Will Yakima FrontLoader Fit OEM Bars on a 2018 Mini Countryman and How Many Lock Cores to Lock itYes! I confirmed with Yakima that the FrontLoader # Y02103 is compatible with the OEM crossbars on your 2018 Mini Countryman. This bike rack uses 2 lock cores for a complete locking system. For this you would want part # Y07202. If you planned on using more than 1 FrontLoader on your Countryman then the Yakima Same Key System also comes in a 4 pack # Y07204, 6 pack # Y07206, and an 8 pack # Y07208.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack to Use the Yakima ShowDown on a 2013 Toyota RAV4 with Raised RailsIf you are interested in the Malone square bar roof rack then I recommend going with the 58" bars # MPG202 over the 50" bars # MPG201 for your 2013 Toyota RAV4. Reason being that the Yakima ShowDown # Y04081 requires that the crossbars extend at least 3-1/2" beyond the towers and I don't think you will achieve this with the 50" bars. As far as best goes, the Malone roof racks are good but they are entry level roof racks so they aren't quite as nice as other name brand options. In my opinion...

- Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for Two Kayaks on 2019 Subaru LegacyWhile we do have a roof rack and kayak carrier that will work for both of your Perception Tribe 11.5 kayaks the Malone SaddleUp Pro Truck Bed Kayak Carrier # MPG1001 is only designed for a single kayak and also would not fit a Malone Versa roof rack. For a roof rack I highly recommend the Yakima CoreBar system because it offers a combination of superior functionality, durability and looks. This roof rack is a fit for your 2019 Subaru Legacy so long as it is the Sedan model and is made...
view full answer... - Do Yakima BaseLine Towers and 2 Yakima Kayak Carriers Require Separate LocksGood questions, and the answer to your question is yes, locks do need to be purchased separately for the BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR as well as the Yakima kayak carriers like the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. For the BaseLine Towers and two JayLows, you get get the lock cores keyed alike, you just need to get the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores - Quantity of 8 # Y07208. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like.

To secure a Yakima roof rack to your vehicle you will want the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204. The price is on the top right side of the product page. The great thing about Yakima's keys being sold separately is you can buy larger packs of keys 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 to secure other Yakima accessories to the roof rack and still only need one key. All of the components of your roof rack will come...

You will need to unlock the Yakima bike racks you have with their current keys, insert the change key that comes with this kit so that you can remove the cores and then install the included cores of this kit in all of the racks so that they would all be keyed alike.
view full answer... - Is the Yakima HoldUp EVO Bike Carrier Compatible with Yakima SKS Lock CoresYes. The Yakima HoldUp EVO # Y02480 is compatible with Yakima SKS Lock Cores. This rack does come with a locking hitch pin and cable lock that can be swapped out to match your other Yakima products If you don't already have Yakima lock cores, the 2-lock kit is part # Y07202, the 4 lock kit is part # Y07204, the 6 lock kit is part # Y07206 and the 8 lock kit is part # Y07208. All SKS lock kits include the control key for core installation as well as the lock-specific keys to fit the cores.

- How do I Replace My Yakima Lock Cores to Key Everything the SameI reached out to Yakima and unfortunately they no longer carry the 032 core. Your best bet will be to replace your cores across your products.
