Thule Universal Change Key for Lock Core Installation and Removal

Question:

I just ordered 2 of the 753-2152 Foot Packs and I understand the I can use my old locks in them. I read this review: Keep in mind that if you currently have locks you can reuse them in these new feet but make sure you have the generic key that you need to pull out the lock cylinder. I bought my racks as part of a camper shell package and they didnt give me that key. I had no idea I would eventually need it. They sell them at etrailer so Im back here to order one. 372576 I also bought my racks as part of a camper shell package and dont remember getting a generic key. My question is will I need one and if so whats the part number so I can add it to my order. Thanks.

Thule racks and carriers use replaceable lock cores that do require a special control key for removing and installing the (unlocked) cores. This key is included in lock core kits like # TH450200 (two lock cores) and # TH450400 (four lock cores). It is available on its own as part # 853-1251.
