I'm Matt with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be talking about Thule's replacement lock core. Replacing a lock core is pretty easy to do, and if I had to choose between the key or the lock core, most cases, the lock core's gonna be a little bit easier because the thing with this is a lot of times, these lock cores don't have a number on it depending on when you got yours. So, the newer ones typically don't. Some of the older ones will have it. But if you don't have that number on here or you don't have access to that number, it's gonna be hard to get that matched up to the right key.
So, there's a couple things you can do. If you still have your key, you can just simply look here. Right underneath the handle is gonna give you that number, and then you can find the lock core that matches it. But if you don't have that key and you just need a whole new set, you can actually find a whole new set here on our website. Now, when it comes to installing this, this doesn't take a whole lot.
You do need to make sure you do have a master key. Also, you can find that on our website. The way this works, you'll push that key in here and it will retract the sides and secure it in there. With that in there, now we can lock it down. But there's not a whole lot else to it.
I think these are just gonna be great if you need to replace a lock core or two on your roof rack or any of your other accessories you might have. Now, of course, if you guys have any other questions, let us know here at etrailer. And again, I'm Matt, and thanks for watching.

The locks on my Thule Bike Rack are still working great! I am so glad that the employees and reviews at etrailer were so helpful so that I could match up the new locks to my existing locks.

The lock cores work great. I have my cross bars and T2 bike rack with the same key. No more guessing which key goes to what. Simple to install and use.

Just an update on my original post! The lock cylinders ordered have functioned flawlessly since purchased. O problems at all. I feel Etrailer is a terrific source for any information or video instruction on bicycle Racks or accessories you may need regarding securing the rack. Thank you.

Great, we enjoy using the bike mount. The only real complaint is the large overall weight.
