Question:

Hi, Im looking to add cores to my rack that doesnt have any, and I cant tell what the difference is between these two: https://www.etrailer.com/comparison.aspx?pc=Y8771-A145andpc2=Y8771-A137 Besides the price, if I was going new for everything can I get the cheaper A137? Is is still SKS?

Expert Reply:

The Replacement SKS Lock Core for Yakima Racks and Carriers - A137 # Y8771-A137 is a specific lock for key A137 # Y8772-A137. In the same way, lock core # Y8771-A145 will work with key # Y8772-A145.

Since you don't need to match a specific key number, I recommend the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4) # Y07204 which comes with 4 cores and 2 keys along with a control key.
