Replacement Lock Core For Older Yakima RocketBox

Question

Question:

I have an old Yakima RocketBox. They have the push button latches that can remain unlocked for travel, or can be locked. Not the SKS system I lost the key, and there is no number on the lock core. Do you have advice, or a replacement part? Currently unlocked.

Thanks for the photo, and we have been told previously by Yakima that you can indeed change out the lock cores on the older cargo boxes with the SKS system, so you can use the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07202.
