Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at Thule replacement key. Now, this is going to replace a missing or damaged Thule key for your Thule racks and carriers. As you can see engraved on this key, this is key number N170. So to confirm the key number, you do wanna check your lock cylinder that you're needing a key for just to confirm that number.
But this key is directly from Thule, so you can trust that this is going to work just like your original key number N170. You're not gonna have to worry about compatibility issues or anything like that. Well, that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy.
Thank you for joining me.

Thanks! Fast shipping
Was in a real bind discovering I lost my keys for my ski rack a few days before a ski trip. Got the keys overnight and they worked!!!! Soooooo very happy :-)
Key's worked great and were easy to find on the site. We had a bit of a delay in shipping but the customer service department was VERY kind and helpful.
Needed replacement keys for a roof rack and carrier so I could sell it. Keys came on time and worked great!
I appreciate etrailer keeping these in stock when they were difficult to find from Thule. Good, prompt response.
A little flimsy, particularly when opening an arthritic lock. Won't open my front door either.

Everything?s working just as designed, and I?m happy with them all. Thanks.
The keys I ordered for my Thule Bike rack work perfectly. Well worth it. Shipped early next day and received my order very quickly. Thank you!
I needed a replacement key for my Thule bike rack. The key provided by etrailer was a perfect fit and match.
I bought a used cargo box and didn't get the keys when I bought it. It had no name or identification as to brand but the locks were stamped with just the number "170". So I took a chance that a replacement key from etrailer would work. Pretty excited, the key arrived today and worked perfectly. Thanks etrailer!!! I now have a locking cargo box.
I needed a key to a Thule bike rack that a friend gave me, so I googled where to buy and etrailer came up. I called and the guy who answered the phone knew exactly what I needed and the price. It was shipped out and received within a week, so the service was great.
I needed some extra keys for a Thule bike rack. Etrailer was able to fullfull my order based on the code imprinted on the Thule key and sent it to me promptly.
Best team to deal with , love dealing with them
I am disappointed that there is no replacement key for older R series lock cores, such as R170 that my roof rack uses. The N170 replacement key does not work with this lock.
Disregard the shape of the key. My key had a square head in this. He had a small round head, but it fit perfectly. The picture may also not depict the shape of the actual key cut for obvious security reasons. I Drove to Florida without my key so my rack was locked to the trailer hitch and my bikes were locked to the rack. I didn’t want to cut the cable so I ordered this and it came a day early. It fits perfectly.
