Solution for Lost Keys on Second Hand Thule Adventurer Cargo Box

Question:

Hello. I bought a second hand Thule Adventurer box on kijiji and wanted to replace the locks with the cylinders, since the seller lost the keys. I saw I can buy a set of keys and cylinders on your website, but how can I remove the old cylinder? The number on the cylinder is not showing either, its scratched badly : Any suggestions? Thank you for your time.

If you can get the number off of the lock core all you need is the part # THKEYNXXX where the X's would equal the lock number.

If the key is in the unlocked position the change key of the part # TH450200 would insert and then allow the core to release from it. Otherwise you would have to find a locksmith who can unlock the core so that you can use the change key to remove it. The new core would slide right into place.

Judging by the fact that you got the box installed on your roof in the picture you submitted the lock is in the unlocked position.
