Alonzo, it looks like you bought the Replacement Key for Yakima Racks and Carriers # Y8772-A140. To find out if this key will work or not, you will have to pull the lock core out and check the number stamped on the side. If it reads A140, then you're good to go, if not let us know what it says and we'll get you the right key.

Hey Alonzo, did the number on your Yakima lock core match the A140 key you bought? Once you checked that, were you able to unlock your rack? Your update could make it easier for others trying to match their Yakima keys.
