Hello VItaly; based on your description it sounds like you need the Replacement Locking End Cap for Thule Apex Bike Racks # TH8523294001 which attaches to the end of the arm. For the lock core you can add a new one with the # TH450200 or if you can tell me the number from the locking hand knob and I can find a replacement that matches.
