Hi everyone, It's Evangeline. And today we're taking a look at the replacement lock cores for your RockyMounts bike racks or RockyMounts accessories right here at etrailer. So I have a set of two lock cores, which includes two keys. And these lock cores are keyed alike. We can also get them in different quantities. I only need two because there's two lock cores on the RockyMounts GuideRail.
But if you have multiple RockyMounts accessories maybe more than one bike rack, you may wanna check out our larger quantities. So this is a very important part of your biking experience. You have your chain locks to lock up your bike. You also have your locks for your hitch receiver or in the case of the MonoRail here, the same lock or same type of lock that's used for both your bikes and your bike rack. This is made of zinc oxide just to make sure that it's corrosion and rust resistant.
You also have a slight dust cap on the inside. That way, when your keys are not in place, this is covered. And some of your bike racks have a rubber dust cap that goes over it for extra protection. So some of your RockyMounts racks have a plastic core and you just add the metal lock core to it. But other times maybe you broke your lock core or you wanna switch the old one out so that everything is now keyed alike.
So I'm gonna show you how to replace the old lock core and then add in the new one. So the main thing here is you need to access this wafer. So look on your own bike rack or lock core and see if you can find where that wafer is. For example, on your hitch lock. If you take off the dust cap, you can find there's the hole where you can access the wafer underneath.
Or for some bike racks in the case of the GuideRail if you take out two bolts and pop out the end cap, you can then access the wafer from inside the end cap. Make sure your keys are in the unlocked position, twist it so it is still in the unlocked position. And then you can see where you can push in that wafer. So I'm using a bobby pin. You can use a paper clip or really small screwdriver. So with one hand, I'm holding the key in the unlocked position. And with the other hand, I'm pushing on that wafer until it depresses. Now, get your new lock core. And this next step is very important because you wanna make sure you put it in the right way. If you put it in the wrong way, you will lose that lock core. So let's line it up properly. So make sure that wafer is facing the hole where you depress it. If it's facing the other way, that's incorrect. So make sure it's facing the correct way. And then you can just pop your new lock core in. Once it clicks in, you can then remove the key, pop that back in, try it out a couple times, make sure it operates properly and do this exact same process with your other lock cores. But that's how you replace your RockyMounts lock cores..

These RockyMounts lock cores let you add new locks or replace existing cores for all your lockable RockyMounts products. These keyed-alike cylinders let you lock your racks, accessories, and other gear with 1 key.Love this product!! Super easy to put together and install on my Subaru!!! Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for this style bike rack.
RockyMounts seem to have a more secure lock than my Thule foot pack.
I have enjoyed using the rack to transport my bike to different locations to ride and to have maintenance completed. I also recently used the rack to pick up a new bike for my husband from a sporting goods store. I like that I do not have to remove the wheels from the bike when transporting. I have the bike rack of my Scion FRS. It is a good quality rack.
As usual, nothing but great service from E-Trailer. Bike rack locks arrived within a couple of days of ordering. Install took minutes...great! Thanks.
I got my parts In perfect conditions on time and complete including the instructions to install my rack and their locks, I had a very good experience. Next time I’ll use again.
Eduardo - 07/11/2021Received with the roof rack mounts, cross bars and Kayak holders. Easy install.
Needed 2nd set of lock cores for my Kayak roof rack.
Perfect fit as advertised in my RockyMounts SwitchHitter. Nice and Secure.
Easy to install on my bike rack. Sturdy design.
Holds up well! Easy to install. I'd say they are just as good as the expensive ones. You can purchase a set of locks separately which is worth it. I would suggest calling them and they will hook you up.
Great product, keeps both my rack and bike locked...
Pretty necessary for security but even brand new they were kind of sticky and difficult to unlock.
Worked exactly as advertised. Easy install and functioning perfectly from the beginning.
