Instead of fumbling through many different keys for your Yakima® products, use the Yakima® SKS Lock Cores. This same key system allows you to use the same keys for different products. This avoids the hassle of having to look for different keys all of the time. All you need is one key when using the Yakima® SKS Lock Cores.

Bought the Yakima rails and forgot didn’t think I would need the locks. I was wrong. Definitely purchase the locks. Take two minutes to install and gives you peace of mind.

I added the lock cores to my Yakima High Road bike carriers. One core locks the carrier to the cross bar, the other core is needed to make the built-in locking cable functional. The lock cores really are required to complete the installation. The lock cores are very easy to install with only the included blank key tool.

These are definitely overpriced. However, they work well, handle moisture, and are easy to install. Made it easy to lock my bike rack to the crossbars and use the integrated bike lock to lock my bike to the rack. If you already have a yakima rack that uses these, they're a good buy.

I hate that they are so expensive but the companies say you have to use their brand locks to ensure fit. They work as intended, and it’s nice to have that piece of mind, but I just can’t understand why they are so pricey. I guess if nothing happens they are worth it. If my rack gets stolen, Yakima is gonna get a piece of my mind.

Ordered cores to protect my rack investment. Seem to be very secure. Were super easy to install. Comes with 2x set of keys. If your have Yakima components, order these.

I bought eight of these to secure my roof rack towers and kayak saddles. Simple install, keyed the same and lock/unlock smoothly. Enuff said!

Fit perfect, easy to install, locks attachment to rails and car for good peace of mind when needing to leave rack on vehicle for instead of removing each time.

I bought these locks just before the Christmas holiday and they arrived quickly. It took 2 minutes to open the box, remove the plugs and install both locks. It couldn’t have been easier!

Bought 6 of these prior to an overnight road trip and could not have been happier. All the locks fit into the cores, allowing me to secure not only the bikes, but the racks themselves too. Piece of mind prevailed while sleeping in the hotel, knowing that the bikes were securely attached.
