Question:

I was delinquent in installing my SportRack A30813STL Rear Car Spare Tire Mount 3 Bicycle Rack and now I cant seem to find any of the keys for the locking knobs. Is it possible to install without the key and how can i find a key that works both knobs without paying for the knobs that I dont need. Any assistance will be greatly appreicated!

You could install the locking knob without using the key on the SportRack Spare Tire Bike Rack, # A30813STL, but you would not be able to lock the bike rack to your 2005 Honda CR-V.

If the lock core on your bike rack has a 4 digit number that begins with the letter N, then you could order replacement keys using that 4 digit number. If you use the link to the page I provided, link I have provided, you can enter in the 4 digit key number on that product page and order as many keys as you need.

I have attached a photo of a lock core and highlighted where the key number will be located for you to reference.

If the lock core does not have a 4 digit number on the face of the lock core, then replacement keys cannot be ordered and you can use the rack without using the lock or order a new locking knob.
