No more having to keep track of multiple keys. Replace the lock cores on your Thule products with these keyed-alike cylinders so that all of your racks and accessories can be locked and unlocked with a single key.
Features:
Thule's One-Key System makes it easy to secure all of your Thule accessories with just one key. This kit includes four keyed-alike lock cylinders that are designed to either mount in the empty lock core sockets of your Thule rack or replace your rack's existing cores.
Thule foot packs for roof-rack systems come ready to accept One-Key System (OKS) cylinders. Each base has an area built in for mounting a lock core. Just install the core in the foot and pop out the plastic lock plug on the removable handle assembly.
Many Thule accessories come standard with locks. If you have a Thule ski carrier, for example, you must remove the existing lock cores so that you can install the new OKS cylinders to make all your Thule accessories keyed alike. To do this, unlock the cylinders on your rack. Then insert the universal control key included with the OKS cylinders into each unlocked core to remove it. You may have to wiggle the key a bit to work the core loose. Once the existing cores have been removed, pop in the new OKS ones and you're good to go.
If you have a new Thule accessory that you would like to have keyed to match your other Thule products and you would rather not switch out all your lock cores, then you can add a replacement lock cylinder (THLOCK - sold separately) instead. The replacement cylinder will be designed to accept the same key as your existing Thule products. Just provide the number that is imprinted on your existing cores when you purchase the replacement core, and Thule will make a cylinder to match.

In this video we are going to show you how to install a Thule Crossroad roof rack onto a Suburban with existing side rails. We will be using the Thule Crossroad feet, part number TH450, and Thules 58 inch load bars, part number THLB58. The Crossroad pack comes with four Crossroad feet, the end caps with the built in Allen key and four smaller end caps that will go on the end of our bars. The Crossroad feet are designed to quickly and easily attach to the factory side rails on your vehicle. The band is actually a steel band coated in rubber. This gives it plenty of strength but the rubber also protects your factory side rails. It is going to loop around your side rail and connect back to the foot. Then we will use the end cap with the built in Allen head wrench to tighten down this bolt. It will tighten the whole system down to your vehicle, as well as tighten down the crossbars in the foot. 0:55
Now we are going to assemble one and get it ready to mount on our vehicle. We are going to take our crossbar and feed one of the Crossroad feet over it. Next we are going to snap our end cap. We are going to take our first crossbar assembly and mount it all of the way on the front of our side rails. Because the Crossroad system is designed to attach to vehicles with existing side rails, there are no unique measurements per vehicle. All that you have to do is make sure that your crossbar spread from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar is a minimum of 24 inches. We will also make sure that the crossbar overhangs the feet evenly on both sides. Once we have everything lined up, we can start tightening things down. 1:37
As we tighten the Allen bolt down, it is not only going to grab on to the side rails but it is also going to lock our crossbar into place. Now that we have the driver side foot snugged down, we are going to move to the passenger side, tighten that one all of the way down and come back and finish up with the driver side. Once it is good and tight, we will take the end cap, slide it into position and it snaps into place. We will repeat the same process for the crossbar in the rear. You can also install Thule lock cores, part number TH544. The lock cores will allow you to secure the Crossroad feet to your vehicle so that the roof rack cannot be easily removed. And that does it for our Thule Crossroad installation on our 2010 Chevrolet Suburban.

I purchased the Thule roof racks for my 2010 Kia Soul. They fit great and look wonderful. They were extremely easy to fit. I also purchased the one key locking system for the racks and they were also easy to fit and work well. I used eTrailer for both purchases and I was very pleased with their customer service (even including personal emails) and the speed with which my purchases arrived.19842
