Replacing Lock Cylinder In Yakima SkyBox With Broken Key In Lock

Question:

Are there any videos on youtube with clear instructions on how to remove and replace the locks? my key broke off in the lock and it is too deep to grab. I can open on one side but i don't like having a spare key.

To get the lock out you will need to take it to a locksmith to get the broken piece of key out of the lock. If the key cylinder is unlocked you can use a control key part # Y8007835 to take the lock cylinder out and replace it with the another lock cylinder that has the same number on it so you can use the same key.

A locksmith will normally have the tools to extract a broken key from the lock, if you do not want to try the locksmith approach I was able to find videos that explain how to "remove a broken key from a lock" online after a quick search.
