Expert Reply:

With a key broken off inside the lock, your only option is to drill out the lock and replace the core. For the replacement cores and keys for the matching set, I recommend the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200.

With the key broken inside the lock, the master key won't work, so carefully drilling or calling a locksmith to drill for you are the only options. You may be able to drill into the key directly enough to get a bite so you can pull the broken key out and then you wouldn't need to replace the core/cylinder. If that is the case, you can get a key replacement if you can give me the key number or the number on the old lock cylinder.

If you have a Thule Ascent box, the Replacement Quick Grip Mount Assembly - Thule Ascent, Atlantis, and Force Cargo Box - Qty 1 # TH05738 along with the Replacement Screw for Thule Quick Grip Mount # TH05728, and the Replacement Cradle for Thule AcuTight and Quick Grip Mounting Hardware # TH8523387001 is the route to go.
