Will a Yakima Lock Core Fit in Place of a Saris or Sears Lock Core

Question:

I have a saris bike rack lock key that is s305. I am wondering if this lock core and keys Replacement Lock Core and Keys for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - Key S305 Item # 8880551 would be the same key is the bike the rack. On the description it says for Yakima? Additionally could I replace the lock core on my sears cargo box with this lock core? Currently on the cargo box is a lock #ed 2854t.

Lock cores are not interchangeable among the different manufacturers. You would need a Saris lock core which, to see if you can get, would require contacting Saris directly. They currently do not make replacement cores available as replacement parts. The same goes for the lock on your Sears cargo box. That cargo box is made by Thule so if you need a replacement key use # THKEYN2854.
