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.
