Question:
Does the Replacement Tool with Lock Plug for Thule Hull-A-Port XT Kayak Carrier Item # 1500052963 come in a ‘key-lock’ version. The installation manual shows this item with an actual key or combination lock. How can you lock this rack on your car?

Expert Reply:
The Replacement Tool with Lock Plug for Thule Hull-A-Port XT # 1500052963 does not come with a lock core, as it is simply a replacement part for the Thule Hull-A-Port XT Kayak Carrier TH848.
What you would need to do in order to lock the Hull-A-Port XT to your vehicle is order lock cores:
- Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450200
You will install the cylinder inside the tightening tool, in place of the lock plug, and that will allow you to lock the Hull-A-Port XT. I have added some links below to video reviews for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
