Will Thule Lock Cores Fit Rhino-Rack Cable Core Lockdown

Question

Question:

I have a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform that I attached my Thule Hullavator to. My Thule Hullavator has locks and i am looking to add the Rhino Rack cable lock to secure the entire kayak to the rack. I wanted to run one key for both the Hullavator and Rhino lock. The physical locks look the same. Could I buy a 4x pack of lock cores from either company and install in both my Hullavator and Rhino cable lock?

Expert Reply:

Rhino-Rack and Thule locks are not interchangeable, despite looking similar. I definitely understand wanting to use just one key, but they are not compatible so you wouldn't be able to install a Thule lock core in the Cable Core Lockdown - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms # RR43206.

The same thing goes for installing Rhino-Rack locks in Thule products.
