Since the lock number is not printed on the face of the locks on your Yakima Skybox the only way to get it open is to have a locksmith open it. Once the locks are unlocked you can use the control key, # Y8007835, to take the lock cylinder out, get the number printed on the side, and then order new keys. Just let me know what that number is.

The control key will only work if the locks are already unlocked.
