Video Transcript for Yakima Same Key System - SKS - Lock Cores Review
Jake: Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima Lock Cores. These are going to be made for your roof rack to be able to lock into your roof. When you buy them from the factory, they're just going to come with plastic lock cores, and it's not going to secure it to your roof while you're not with it. For the example, with our SkyLine Towers, they're very, very easily removable. Just pull back and lift up and your bars are going to be gone.
So by replacing these plastic lock cores with the locking cores, you're not going to have to worry about anyone stealing or tampering with your roof rack. In your kit, you're going to get two keys that are keyed to unlock and lock all of your lock cores, and you're going to get one installation key. This is the key dish we're going to use to push the lock cores into place.To start with, we need to take our flat key and pop our plastic lock cores out. And to get our lock cores into place, we just need to take it, you're going to line it up with this hole. So right here is where you're going to see that little indentation that you're going to stick your lock core into place, where that little knob is going to stick down inside there.
Just push it into place.Now we can take the tip of our finger and hold our lock core and pull our control key out. And we can take one of our two keys that has our notches in it and lock up our bars. And you'll repeat this process for all four of your foot packs. Now, as I said, your kit is going to come with two keys. If you we're to lose them, there are replacement keys available.
On the back there's going to be a letter followed by three numbers. It's a good idea when you first get your kit to write that series of numbers down, so that you know which key is yours, and you can order them here at etrailer.Now, one little helpful piece of advice I'd like to provide you all with is, if you plan on leaving your rack on your vehicle during the winter time or whatever you might be putting your lock cores in, it's a good idea that when winter time is approaching, you spray a little bit of lubricant on the inside of your lock, not only to help your lock work properly, but it's going to prevent any water from building up inside, potentially turning into ice. I had a situation one time where I needed to get into my toolbox for a side job and I couldn't get in because water had gotten into my lock and froze solid, and I couldn't get my key in. But with all that being said, that's going to do it for our look and installation of the Yakima Lock Cores..

Quick Install!
by: Cory G.07/16/2015
Exactly what I needed to eliminate having 3 different Yakima keys. Very easy to install assuming your existing cores are "unlocked" or you don't have locks. I would have gave 5 stars however, I called in and was told that the flat key would remove a locked core - well, it doesn't.. You must go to a locksmith and have them unlocked.. Other than that debacle the SKS worked perfectly and now I have only 1 key!!
by: Tim P03/19/2011
again very easy to install and now i dont have to worry about it getting stollen
by: Rob N.07/14/2017
Product was good once it arrived. However, the site showed all items in stock. I received an email about a month after I ordered, stating they were on back order. I responded stating that it showed in stock and that I would have purchased through another site had I known this. I got a seemingly automated email back that I took as a "sorry not sorry". I received the order over two months later. Terrible customer service. First time I have shopped with etrailer, and obviously my last.

etrailer has the best brands and good prices. Web site and shipping are the absolute best in the business. Videos are great too.

After a year the locks are still working great, I unlock and lock about once a month without a problem.
Steve - 08/24/2023by: Todd 06/24/2023
Terrific! No one tried to steal my roof rack once they caught a glimpse of these babies!
by: Philip 05/29/2023
Glad I ordered these locks. Heard many stories about racks getting stolen without them. Great piece of mind to have.
by: Elizabeth 02/08/2023
Exactly what I needed after my Yakima Bike Rack key was stolen. A locksmith popped out the lock core and we put in the new one. Works perfectly.
by: Michael01/22/2023
Yakima SKS Lock Core set is a must-have. The Lock Cores install quite easily when following the instruction manual, and the locks work as designed - the Yakima SkyLine Towers I installed them into cannot be opened when locked. In fact there is no discernible play whatsoever when attempting to open the locked towers. Very good design and execution.

- How to Key 5 Yakima Bike Racks to the Same KeyWhat you will need is the part # Y07206. This comes with 6 lock cores all keyed the same. You will need to unlock the Yakima bike racks you have with their current keys, insert the change key that comes with this kit so that you can remove the cores and then install the included cores of this kit in all of the racks so that they would all be keyed alike.
view full answer... - Is the Yakima Key Set part # Y07206 Compatible with Q Towers and Forklift Bike RackYes, the Yakima Key Set part # Y07206 that you referenced would work on Yakima Q towers and a Yakima Forklift part # Y02098.
view full answer... - How do I Replace My Yakima Lock Cores to Key Everything the SameI reached out to Yakima and unfortunately they no longer carry the 032 core. Your best bet will be to replace your cores across your products. Using the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4) part # Y07204 or the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 6) part # Y07206 will get you where you want to be with everything secured and using the same keys across all of your Yakima products. I've included the link to the video for you to explaing hoe to get everything switched out.
view full answer... - How To Remove Yakima Lock Cores On Old Roof Rack/Bike RackIf the lock cores are unlocked then they can be removed using the Replacement Control Key for Yakima Same Key System part # Y8007835 and be replaced with the Yakima Same Key System part # Y07206 which comes with size matching keys and locks. The Yakima Same Key System does come with the Replacement Control Key. If the lock cores are locked however then you'd need to drill them out or find a local retailer with a master key.
view full answer... - Not sure whether to buy Y8890202 or Y8890284Oh my! I'm glad that was the only damage! In this case, I recommend purchasing the Replacement Cable Lock Assembly, part # Y8890284 so you can replace the endcap that secures the lock as well as the lock itself, just in case a particularly determined thief notices the damage. It does not include a manual, however you should be able to complete the replacement easily by removing the clipping pin from the side of the lock endcap and replacing with the new one. I've modified one of the...
view full answer... - Came Multiple Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores be Ordered for an Existing KeyIf you already have a Yakima same key system key and you want that key to work in additional lock cores, there is a way to do it. You would need to order a Replacement Lock Core, for example # Y8771-A145 which will take you to a specific Yakima core replacement for the A145 key system. To find the Yakima key system you need, click the link I have provided and enter the number of your key system into the search field.
view full answer... - Will the Yakima RailBars Clear the Moon/Sun Roof On a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse High CountryThe moon/sun roof on your 2018 Chevrolet Traverse High Country most likely will not be able to be opened while using the Yakima RailBar Crossbars part # Y00435-0436 or any other roof rack of it's kind for that matter. That said, this is not something that we nor Yakima tests for because the wind noise associated with having the roof open and a set of crossbars installed would be unbearable. For a fork mount bike rack, I recommend the Yakima HighSpeed Roof Bike Rack part # Y02115 because...
view full answer... - Does the Overhaul HD Come w/ Locks?Yes, the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # Y01151-58 does include a lock set to secure the ladder rack to the bed of your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTD. The SKS cores can also be swapped out to make all your Yakima products keyed alike. We have a four pack item # Y07204 and a six pack item # Y07206.

They are at the base of two of the uprights. One will go in the front set and one for the rear. I have attached a couple of pictures below so you can see how the bases are secured. I have also linked the instructions so you can see how this system sets up. The SKS cores can also be swapped out to make all your Yakima products...

- Can I Attach the Yakima JayLow to the Yakima OffGrid Cargo Basket?Yes! The two accessory bars that come with the medium Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 40" Wide - 165 lbs # Y07138 allow you to mount the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style # Y04073. The bars also have the required crossbar spread you need. To make sure that your OffGrid and the JayLow are protected from theft, I recommend using the Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07206. These cores will have all of your locks keyed alike. If you plan to...
view full answer... - Available Quantities of Yakima SKS Lock Core KitsYakima offers their Same Key System (SKS) lock cores in various quantities. The 2-lock kit is part # Y07202, the 4 lock kit is part # Y07204 and the larger-quantity lock kits are listed below. 6 Cores # Y07206 8 Cores # Y07208 All SKS lock kits include the control key for core installation as well as the lock-specific keys to fit the cores.
view full answer... - Can Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier be Installed on Yakima HD Bars Using T-SlotThe Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073 doesn't have a T-Slot adapter but they do fit crossbars with max dimensions of 3-1/2" x 1-11/16". Since the Yakima HD Crossbars like the 68" # Y01158 only measure 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall you will be able to use the clamping system that comes with the JayLow to mount them to this size crossbar. If you're wanting a way to secure them a little bit more to help deter theft then I recommend adding the 2-pack lock core set # Y07202. If you're...
view full answer... - Comparing the Yakima HoldUp and Yakima HoldUp EVOThe differences between the Yakima HoldUp # Y02443-2 and the HoldUp EVO # Y02479-2 include an integrated SpeedKnob to take out movement of the bike rack, an easier system for tilting the bike rack, and the ability to add fat bike tires (up to 5" wide). Aside from that these bike racks are pretty identical in their designs. If you have fat tire bikes and/or would like the tool-free SpeedKnob then the EVO is the way to go. Otherwise the easier tilting handle as opposed to the pin isn't...
view full answer... - Replacement Keys for a Yakima Track Rack on a Camper ShellFor Yakima racks, you'll check the number printed on the side of the lock to figure out which key you'll need. If you can't see the number by removing the faceplate, you'll need to have a locksmith pick or drill out the lock and then look at the side. Then, you'll search for "Y8772-XXXX" with XXXX replaced with the numbers printed on your lock. For instance, if your lock is numbered as "A134" you'll search for part # Y8772-A134 to obtain a replacement key. Some keys may be under "Y8773-XXXX"...
view full answer... - Do Yakima BaseLine Towers and 2 Yakima Kayak Carriers Require Separate LocksGood questions, and the answer to your question is yes, locks do need to be purchased separately for the BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR as well as the Yakima kayak carriers like the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. For the BaseLine Towers and two JayLows, you get get the lock cores keyed alike, you just need to get the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores - Quantity of 8 # Y07208. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like.

Two locking cores ARE included with the LockUp.

I confirmed with Yakima that the FrontLoader # Y02103 is compatible with the OEM crossbars on your 2018 Mini Countryman. This bike rack uses 2 lock cores for a complete locking system. For this you would want part # Y07202. If you planned on using more than 1 FrontLoader on your Countryman then the Yakima Same Key System also comes in a 4 pack # Y07204, 6 pack # Y07206, and an 8 pack # Y07208.

This will give you a control key to remove the lock that is currently in the system (as long as it is in the unlocked position) and then insert the new core. It includes keys that are paired to the included lock cores.

For a bike rack, I recommend the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount Item # Y02443-2 . What you'll really like about this rack is that it can be used as a 2-bike rack for when it's only you and your wife, but can transform into a 4-bike rack with the 2-bike add-on that's included.

For this system you need 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, along with the RidgeLine Towers # Y00145, and Fit Kit # Y06031. Then according to my research you can add any of the linked Yakima cargo boxes to your roof! I recommend the SkyBox NX 16 # Y95AV...

I recommend using the JetStream, part # Y00425 for Black, along with the BaseLine Towers # Y28TR and BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06119 for a great looking aerodynamic design. To use the same lock cores for all of your equipment you can use part # Y07206.
