Question:
I bought a Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier - 2 Hitches - 60 x 23 - 250 lbs Part Number: Y72VR about 2 years ago and have lost all the keys to that system. Can you direct me to a master key to use in unlocking the system so I can remove the carrier from my vehicle? Please instruct. Thanks

Hey Billy, there isn't a Yakima master key that unlocks all of their lock cores. If you happened to know the number that was on your lost keys we can help easily get you a replacement but if you don't know it the only way would be to have a locksmith unlock the core so that you could insert a control key part # Y8007835 which would then let you pop the core out and see the number that is on back side of it.
I know this is super frustrating and probably not the answer you were hoping for.
