Yakima does not keep record of the lock cores for the VIN of their trailers but we do have a way that can help. You'll have to hire a locksmith to unlock the cores.

From there you have a couple options. The first is to use the Replacement Control Key for Yakima Same Key System # Y8007835 to remove the core and look for the core number; you can then order replacement keys. For example if your lock core had "A132" on it you would need Replacement Key for Yakima Racks and Carriers - A132 # Y8772-A132.

The other option is to have the locksmith unlock the cores and then simply replace them with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07202, which comes with two lock cores, two keys and a control key to remove your old cores.
