Expert Reply:

On your second hand cargo box, there may be a number on the lock cylinder. If so, see if we have a replacement key using part THKEYN_ _ _ . For instance if the lock core reads 009, then you will use # THKEYN009 as the replacement key.

If there is not a replacement key available or the lock core doesn't have a number, you may need to drill out the current lock and use a replacement like the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200 or the other style of lock # SR03807. Note that Thule locks will only fit their product lines so if you have a Yakima box you would need # Y07202, etc.
