The Masterkey system allows you to swap out your existing locks to make all your Rhino-Rack roof racks, carriers, and accessories keyed alike. Can also be added to racks with plastic locks for increased security. Includes 2 keys and 2 lock barrels.

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline. And today we'll be talking about Rhino-Rack lock cores and keys. These are gonna be for your Rhino-Rack crossbars and we'll take a look at how they work, here at etrailer.com. For your Rhino-Rack accessories, maybe you have a plastic lock core already on there and you wanna upgrade to a metal lock core. Or, maybe you have some metal lock cores but they're not keyed alike, and you want them to all just use one key. That's when you can use the separate lock cores here at etrailer to replace them all.
So here I have lock cores, the master key, and the original key for our Rhino-Rack accessory. So we have this metal core on our end cap. And we're gonna star with unlocking that core, using the original key. With that unlocked, you can use a little, flathead screwdriver to just push that wafer down. And then you can push the entire lock core out.
You can then get your new lock core, with the master key, and then put that up to your accessory, line it up with the ramp, and then start turning. If in doubt, just turn it around until it pushes through. You can now do that with all of your different accessories. Lock them and they're all keyed alike now. So what do you need for your specific situation If you are replacing locks, we have kits that have multiple lock cores, whether it's two or eight or however many you need.
And then you can get that whole pack keyed alike. If you are trying to match your keys, let's say you already have a roof rack and you want your bike rack to match, you can also try to get the numbers to match your original set. I always recommend just getting that full kit right away. That way everything is replaced at the same time. Also, make sure you have your original key.
You will not be able to take out the lock core unless it's in the unlocked position. Otherwise, it's gonna be a little trickier for you. So hopefully this video helped you out with seeing how to replace the lock cores on your Rhino-Rack accessories, and how to upgrade to new ones. You can find all of those kits and parts here at etrailer.com. My name is Evangeline, and I hope you enjoyed the journey.
Ratings & Reviews
Key works as perfect replacement for a used rack set.
Got this set as a replacement key and I will use the extra barrels for the ends of the bars. If you are looking for a certain key just change the number in the URL to your key number.
The lock replacement procedure was easier than expected.
Just what I needed and super fast shipping. Thanks
Superb service ...every time I deal with E-trailer. I strongly recommend to al.
Quick shipping and fast delivery! Thanks
Asked technical question on fitment of keys, was answered promptly and ordered parts. Disassembled roof rack with correct parts, no drama. Thx
Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and a pleasant experience
Nice option to minimize and sync keys and locks.
I purchase items from etrailer.com all the time. And I have never had an issue.
Shipping and their communication, like their products, are excellent!!!!
Good product. The rubber inserts peel out though. I'm thinking of epoxying them in so they don't do that. Without the inserts the rails whistle.
I mainly purchased this kit to replace a missing key. The two extra lock barrels will be used on future rack accessories so that everything is one key.
etrailer was the only vendor that had the item I needed in stock, decent price, super fast shipping and will be ordering from them again!
I had the opportunity to make several purchases through etrailer. Their customer service is exceptional. They take their time and get the order correct the first time. My orders have not been simple or straightforward. Cudos to the customer service staff.

The keys work which means 5 stars from me.
I lost my original keys for my roof rack so I ended up buying this product. Ideally I would have preferred to be able to just buy the keys but Rhino does not sell them without the barrels. Overall good experience with etrailer!
Quick delivery. Works exactly as their website indicated to replace rhino rack locks for which I’d lost the key.
I ordered a master key for the roof rack, and it works! Thanks.
easy to swap out, now I only have one key to open and disconnect everything.
Very convenient to have a single key for everything. Swapping the barrels was a breeze, I highly recommend buying from etrailer!
Efficient and the right product. Thanks!
Most excellent experience from beginning to end. I’ll definitely be going through e-trailer as often as possible!
Great! Worked to help me get my rhino rack off when I lost the keys.
Fast shipping! Great overall experience!
Wish I could have bought just a key instead of the set, but e-trailers service was top notch. Called immediately to verify address, shipped right away.
Arrived in timely matter Just what I needed Appreciate the blue grip on key Easier to find if it drops somewhere

That is great to hear! I am glad to hear it got to you on time and is working well. The grips are a nice bonus for sure. What kind of application did you install these on?
