How to Order Replacement Key for Lost Yakima Key

Question:

Does this tell you anything about the year or how I can find new locks for it. One lock has been removed before I received it and the other is still locked with no key! Really stuck!?? Any help would be appreciated!??

The lock core number isn't stamped on the outside of the core so the only way you could order a replacement key would be to get a locksmith to unlock the core and then use a change key like # 853-1251 to remove the core. Once removed the key number would be stamped on the core and with that you could order the correct replacement key. I wish that info was available with the serial number like what you listed but it is not.

For example, if your core had 038 stamped on it you would want the key number # Y8873-038.
