Helpful Expert Reply:
If a lock core is corroded to the point that the key will not work you can try applying a penetrating solvent like WD40 or PB Blaster. These products will sometimes require multiple applications and maybe also a fair amount to time to soak in and work on the corrosion.
If that efforts fails then you can carefully drill out the lock core, just enough to allow you to take it out and install a replacement.
We offer Rhino-Rack lock cores in various quantities. For a 4-pack use # RRRK083-4 which includes two keys.
