Universal Change Key for New Thule Locks - TH42BJ

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (200 Customer Reviews)

Remove your unlocked Thule lock with this master key and replace it with a Thule One Key System lock (sold separately) to make all your Thule locks keyed alike.

Works great, was able to swap an old lock for a new one.



by:

I was a little suspicious if this would work but I was able to remove the cylinders easily.



by:

I’m giving it a one star rating because the product I purchased does not work. After buying a whole new arm unit for my Easy Fold I had to also buy a key to take the lock out of the knob that has stripped threads but it will not fit into the knob of the new arm that was purchased. I have sent videos of what the problem is: the lock is longer than the space in the knob. The answer was to send me a new lock with a key that is exactly the same size as the one that doesn’t work. So I still don’t have the ability to lock two bikes on my rack. I paid about $xxx and the problem is still not solved and it appears that I’m going to have to spend even more money in order to use my very expensive bike rack!

Universal Key for Thuly Roof Rack. Unfortunately the key goes into the lock but doesn’t turn. I will be returning it.



by:

Superb racks. Installed the recommended way. I probably don’t even need the locking system though I have it. ...... very happy with all



by:

etrailer made it easy to get a universal key to change out the lock cores in my cartop case and provided the instructions on how to do it. Thanks so much!



by:

Just what I needed to replace my Thule locks. Push the key in, then pull the lock out. Of course, this will only work if the lock is in the unlocked position. BTW, my Thule locks are around 15 years old, and fortunately, Thule has standardized on this, so I was able to take the locks out of old bike trays and put them in new trays. And last but not least, etrailer has this at a good price and shipped it to me right away.



by:

Picked up a used Thule bicycle rack for my truck but it was missing a couple of locks. This "key" let's remove/install the locks. Works great, still have it.

etrailer has been awesome to purchase from. They always seem to go above and beyond!



by:

I had lost the original lock for my Thule hitch pin. I thought I would have or buy a whole new one. I called etrailer and talked to Tommy. He was able to set me up with this replacement lock. While we talked he also set me up with extra keyed alike cylinders so I can get all my Thule stuff on 1key. If you are having trouble don't hesitate to give them a call.



by:

I have purchased replacement keys before. When I had to change a lock this was the kit. Arrived very quickly with simple instructions.



by:

Love that etraer has all of the random spare parts I need and sells them individually. No exception here. Just needed the lock core insert key. Can always count on trailer.



by:

I lost the Thule Snug Tite lock for my hitch-mounted bike rack. Buying the cylinder that went with the key I already had, plus the housing and the universal change key, and I was all set again, for about half the price of buying the full lock from Thule! Works great!



by:

This key works like it should. It makes it so you can change out lock cylinders for Thule racks. You of course have to have the correct keys for the locks you want to move or replace so don't think this key will let you unlock all the Thule locks. Works great.



by:

We bought Thule lock cores/keys/masterchangekey from etrailer - GREAT experience. The customer service team was attentive and wonderful - we made a mistake ordering online, which c.service helped us identified/isolate/fix. Our order arrived in a timely way, packed well, exactly as ordered and at a great price. Nicely done etrailer!

  • Does the Replacement Long Arm Assembly for Thule EasyFold XT Need a New Lock Core
    I am sorry that a "Customer Review" was misleading. In order for optimal performance of the Replacement Long Arm Assembly for Thule EasyFold XT Electric Bike Rack # 1500052414 you would need a lock core installed. You can use the lock core from your old long arm if it is still operational. You would just need the Universal Change Key # TH42BJ to remove your current unlocked core. If you are needing a new core you would use the Universal Change Key # TH42BJ to install a new lock core like...

  • Removing Lock Cores From Thule EasyFold XT Arms When Replacing The Arms
    Yes, you will be able to move your lock cores from your old arms on your Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 when you install the new Short Arm # 7525491002 and Long Arm # 1500052414 assemblies. To move the locks you will need either the Change Key # 853-1251 if your lock cores have a serial number on the face of the lock core or the Key # TH42BJ if your lock cores do not have a key number on the face of the core. To remove the core simply slide in the change key and pull out to remove...

  • Correct Parts for 2023 Genesis GV70 Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack
    Your 2023 Genesis GV70 will use an entirely different Thule setup so you'll unfortunately have to replace your whole roof rack. Here are the parts you need for a Thule WingBar Evo that fits your flush rails: - 50" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711320 - Evo Flush Rail Feet # TH710601 - Fit Kit # TH86RE You will be able to reuse your lock core kit, though.

  • Replacement Key, Key Core, And Latch Options For Honda OEM Roof Box by Thule
    According to my research, and based on what you said, it seems like the Honda OEM roof boxes are made by Thule. The key latch is not available unfortunately, but if you just need to replace the key and lock core, you can do that. It appears that your lock core code is N036 which would mean you can use the following parts: - Replacement Key for Thule Racks and Carriers - N036 # THKEYN036 - Replacement Lock Cylinder N036 # THLOCKN036 - Universal Change Key for New Thule Locks # TH42BJ If...

  • Does Thule EasyFold XT Replacement Long Arm Assembly Come With Lock in Knob
    A lock does not come included in the knob of the Replacement Long Arm Assembly for Thule EasyFold XT Electric Bike Rack # 1500052414. If you want a lock you can re-use your old ones, you'll just need to use the Universal Change Key for Thule One Key Locks # 853-1251 if your lock core starts with an "N" or "E" and key number on them, or Universal Change Key for New Thule Locks with No Serial Numbers # TH42BJ if it is one of the newest lock cores with no key number on them.

  • Thule Short Arm Assembly Lock Cylinder N223 Replacement For Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack
    When you install the Replacement Short Arm Assembly # 7525491002 on your Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202, you will need the Universal Change Key # TH42BJ to remove your current N223 lock cylinder and place it in the new arm. I have linked a video showing how the cylinder is installed and removed below in one of the cable locks from Thule.

  • Key Won't Turn Inside Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box
    If you're having trouble with the locking mechanism on your Thule Pulse Alpine Cargo Box I recommend using some black graphite powder to see if that helps free the lock. If not, try tapping on the box near the lock housing while simultaneously turning. If worse comes to worse you can replace the lock core using the Replacement Lock Cylinder and Premium Key for Thule One-Key Systems part # TH44ND, you'll also need the Universal Change Key for New Thule Locks with No Serial Numbers part #...

  • Do You Carry Keys for My Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack?
    I have a solution for you. If you need replacement keys for the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202, the only way to get the exact replacement you need is by providing the 4-character code on the lock core. If you do not have access to the core, the only other option is to replace the cores completely. For new lock cores, I recommend the Thule One-Key System Cylinders # TH450200. With these cores, you will be able to switch out the old ones and have keys for the new ones.

  • Replacement Lock Core and Key Suggestion For Unknown Lock Core On A Thule Spare Me Bike Rack
    Since your Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount - Folding Dual Arms # TH963PRO does not have any numbers on the lock core, the easiest thing you can do is use the universal change key # TH42BJ to remove the old lock core. Once the core is removed, you can use the Replacement Lock Cylinder and Premium Key for Thule One-Key System # 1500004217 to replace the entire assembly and will provide you with a new key as well.
