Unfortunately there is no lock housing upgrade available for the Yakima SpaceCadet.

However, if you have an open locking mechanism (Which would look like a metal cylinder with a plastic plug or just nothing in it) and no lock cylinder, you can purchase a kit to add locks to this housing with part # Y07202 to get two keyed alike cylinders and keys for the box, plus the change key to add them to the box.
