Expert Answers about Cable Locks


  • Replacement Cable for Swagman Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Bike Racks
  • The Swagman Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Bike Racks, part # S64030, includes a special washer that fits into one of the loops on the ends of the cable. This washer prevents that end of the cable from being slipped over the lock mechanism. We do offer other stand-alone lock cables that are generally similar, such as the RockyMounts Steelbraid Cable # RKY3854, but they do not have the washer in place on the loop. Without this special washer in place it might be possible to remove...

  • Thule Helium Pro 3 Replacement Cable Lock
  • My best suggestion in this situation is to get another cable lock like Thule Cable Lock w/ One Key System Lock # TH538XT or the etrailer cable lock # e98891. Thule still does not yet offer a replacement cable lock for their newer Thule Helium Pro # TH9043PRO.

  • Availability of Replacement Locking Cable Parts for Thule Vertex 4 Bike Rack
  • We do have the Replacement Locking End Cap # TH8523294001 that can be used with the Lock Core Kit # TH450200 for the Thule Vertex 4 Bike Rack TH9029XT that you found, but unfortunately if your cable lock is broken Thule doesn't have a replacement so you'll need to use a standard cable lock instead. I recommend going with the cable lock # e98891 but if you want to use one that can be keyed alike with your bike rack then you can use the Thule Cable Lock # TH538XT and then use the Lock Core...

  • Replacement Cable Lock And Hitch Pin Lock For Swagman Twister Bike Carrier
  • I called my contact at Swagman and they told me that the Twister bike carrier is no longer available and they do not have the cable locks or keys but we do have a solution that may work for you. They told me the best way to use your carrier is to cut the cable you have on the bike rack and use a cable lock for the bike and a locking hitch pin. If you have a 1-1/4 inch receiver the lock and cable I recommend is part # S64031. If you have a 2 inch receiver the lock and cable set you need...

  • Replacement Cable Lock For Yakima ROC 4 Bike Rack
  • I may have a solution for you, but the replacement cable lock for an older Yakima ROC 4 bike rack is no longer available as a replacement part. However you could just use a regular cable lock like the Saris Cable Lock - 8' Long # SA981 to secure your bikes on your ROC 4.

  • Replacement Locking Cable For The Thule T2 Classic 2 Bike Platform Rack
  • It looks to me like you have an older style of the T2 Classic bike rack. The newer models have a lock built into the handle of the arm, eliminating the need for a cable strap. I do have an option for you, however at this time neither we nor Thule offers this cable as a replacement part. You can use the Thule Cable Lock w/ One Key System Lock part # TH538XT as an alternative option.

  • Replacement Cable for Cable Lock on Thule Apex 5 Bike Rack
  • I reached out to my tech contact at Thule and the integrated cable is not a replaceable part for your Thule Apex 5 Bike Rack. To secure your bikes, I recommend using a separate cable lock like # TH538XT. If it is a manufacturer defect, it should be covered by the manufacturer under your Thule Warranty.

  • How To Replace the Locking Cable On a Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack After Face Has Been Damaged
  • In order to replace the bike lock cable on the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack like part # Y02443 you will need to use the Replacement Cable Lock Assembly part # Y8890284. There would be no way to unlock the core you have now if the face was damaged but this is not required to replace the cable anyhow so long as it is not inserted into the pin. Please note, the above cable lock does not come with a lock core or change key which you will need therefore you will either want to let me know your key...

  • Availability of Replacement Cable Lock for Yakima FrontLoader Roof Mount Bike Rack
  • I do have a way for you to use a replacement cable lock on your Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103, but there unfortunately aren't any replacements that will fit on the arm like what is original to the bike rack. If you'd like a cable lock that can be keyed alike with your current rack then you can use the Yakima # Y07233 and either get a single lock core (I'll need to know your current lock core number) or use the kit # Y07202. This is a 9' cable though so if you'd like something shorter we...

  • Replacement Female Locking Cable for the Thule Trailblazer 998
  • I do have an option for you but the female end of the locking cable on your Thule Trailblazer 998 is not replaceable because it is built into the entire arm assembly. In order to prevent theft of your bikes I recommend the Thule Cable Lock w/ One Key System part # TH538XT which can be matched to your other locks/keys if the correct locking core in purchased. In order to obtain the correct locking core you would need to search part THLOCKN### while substituting the ### for you key/lock number....

  • Replacement Locking Cable for Thule Ridgeline Bike Rack
  • I may have a solution for you, but the Replacement Locking Cable for the Thule Ridgeline bike rack- part 7521045001- has been discontinued and is no longer available. However you could use a regular cable lock like the etrailer Cable Lock - 10' Long - 5/16" Diameter - Steel - Keyed Alike # e98891 to replace this part and it would work well. It won't be a part of your Thule Ridgeline in the same manner that your old cable was, but it does provide you with a good option to secure your bikes.

  • Replacement Lock Core for Cable On Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack
  • The core must be unlocked for the control key to work but it sounds like there has been some damage so replacement is going to be your best option, the Yakima Same Key System part # Y07202. If the cable mechanism was damaged then you'd also need the Replacement Cable Lock Assembly for Yakima HoldUp Bike Carriers part # Y8890284.

  • Replacement Cable Lock for Thule Revolver 964 Bike Rack
  • I may have a solution for you, but I don't believe the part you're looking for exists as a replacement part for your Thule Revolver 964 based off my research and a conversation with my tech contact over at Thule. Without knowing exactly which part has broken I can't confirm this is accurate but from what it sounds like, it does appear that using the Thule Cable Lock # TH538XT will be the best solution to replace the broken cable lock mechanism on your Revolver.

  • What Replacement Cable Lock will Work with My Swagman Titan 2 Bike Rack?
  • I have an answer for you. I reached out to my tech at Swagman, and she confirmed that the replacement key with code 1231 is for the cable lock on your Titan 2 # S63400. Unfortunately, she also confirmed that the only way to get additional/replacement keys is to purchase a new cable lock. We do not currently sell the cable lock for the Titan 2 individually from the locking hitch pin. For that replacement, that is the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo...

  • Is There A Replacement Cable Lock Available For The Yakima FrontLoader Bike Rack?
  • I do have a solution for you, however, Yakima does not make a replacement cable lock for the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier # Y02103. Instead I recommend going with RockyMounts Curly Combination Cable Lock Braided Steel - 3' Long # RKY3700. This does not require a key and will be programmed with a code. I have attached a demonstration video for this product.

  • Replacement Lock Core for a Yakima Cable Lock
  • To get the right replacement lock core for your Yakima cable lock take a look at the key. There should be a number on the key. If you can tell me that number I can tell you which is the correct lock core. That is unless you do not need that lock to match any other locks. If that is the case you can get lock core set # Y07202 which includes 2 lock cores, 2 matching keys, and the all-important Control key used to install and remove lock cores.
