In order to determine which replacement key you can use on your Yakima SKS locks, you'll need to find the number stamped on the body of your Yakima lock core and match it to a replacement key; for reference, the Replacement Key for Yakima Racks # Y8772-A149 is the replacement key for Yakima lock cores with the code A149 stamped on the body. Your current lock will need to be unlocked in order to remove it.

If the lock is currently in the unlocked position, you can use your Yakima control key to remove the lock from the item you're using it on and check for the code. If the box is currently locked, you'll need to have a locksmith unlock the lock so that it can be removed with a change key.

If you don't have your control key, but the lock is unlocked you'll want to use the Replacement Control Key for Yakima Same Key System # Y8007835 to remove your lock core.

If you can let me know what number you find on your lock core, I can help locate the appropriate replacement key for your Yakima lock cores.
