If you're speaking of a Yakima product, and you haven't written down the key number, the only way to obtain the number of the key you need would be to have a locksmith pick the lock.
You would then use a control key part # Y8007835 to remove the lock cylinder. The correct key number will be engraved on the lock cylinder, as shown in the photo I've provided.
If your lock cylinder had A139 engraved on it like the one shown in the photo, you'd order part # Y8772-A139 with the last 4 digits after the dash being the letter/numbers on your cylinder.
The # Y8772-A155 you ordered wouldn't be the correct key unless your lock cylinder number is A155.
