It is recommended that the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07138 use four of the Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores, which you can get with the (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4) # Y07204. These cores will install into each of the four mounts that secure the basket to your roof.

I've added links to video reviews of the basket and cores for you to check out as well.

Why do you really need all four with locks? Wouldn't one on the front set and one on the rear set be enough?
